Whether you’re exploring medical marijuana for chronic pain, neurological conditions, or other qualifying diagnoses, our knowledgeable team is here to guide you through every step with care and clarity.
What Is Medical Marijuana?
Medical marijuana refers to the use of cannabis and its compounds to treat or alleviate symptoms of certain medical conditions. In Florida, the use of medical cannabis is highly regulated, requiring patients to qualify under state guidelines and receive certification from a licensed, qualified physician.
This program is designed to help patients manage symptoms such as pain, inflammation, muscle spasms, and more, improving quality of life while adhering to strict legal standards.
The Role of Qualified Physicians in Florida
Florida medical marijuana doctors, known as “qualified physicians”, are central to the safe and legal use of medical cannabis. Their responsibilities include:
- Patient Evaluation and Diagnosis: Thorough assessment of your medical history and physical condition to determine eligibility based on Florida’s list of qualifying conditions.
- Treatment Appropriateness: Carefully weighing the benefits and risks of medical marijuana for your individual health needs.
- Certification and Registry: Registering eligible patients in the Medical Marijuana Use Registry, including recommendations on cannabis type, dosage, and delivery methods.
- Informed Consent: Ensuring you understand potential benefits and risks before beginning treatment.
- Ongoing Monitoring: Conducting follow-ups at least every 210 days to assess progress and renew certification as necessary.
- Legal Compliance: Adhering strictly to all state laws and ethical standards governing medical cannabis use.
Our physician maintains the highest standards to provide safe, effective, and legal medical marijuana care.
