It may take several weeks for your physical card to arrive in the mail.
Dont worry- once approved you can begin shopping right away using the acceptance email and your driver’s license.
Step 3: Check your allotment
Check your purchasing allotment here: mmuregistry.flhealth.gov
Step 4: Don’t leave home without it
Patients are always required to have their medical marijuana card or acceptance email on them while in possession of product.
Product must always be in the original container with exit labels properly stating the patient’s name, their physician, the product purchased and other critical details.
Step 5: 7 months after being approved
After three 70-day supplies, or 7 months have passed, it’s time to head back to your physician for your follow-up visit.
Step 6: Caregiver 101
Florida allows someone close to a patient to become their caregiver and purchase medical cannabis on their behalf.
Step 7: Renewal 101
Patient and caregivers are required to renew their cards with the state of Florida once a year.
Renewal is usually as simple as paying an additional $75 to the state through the online MMUR Portal.
Step 8: One year after
45 days before your medical card expires you will receive a reminder email from OMMU that it’s time to renew.
After processing your $75 renewal fee, you’ll receive an emailed receipt. When your renewal is accepted, you’ll receive an email indicating your acceptance.
The expiration date listed on your medical marijuana card is one year from the date of acceptance.
