Qualifying Conditions

Florida law allows patients with specific medical conditions to qualify for a Medical Marijuana Card. Review the full list of qualifying conditions below.

Do You Qualify for Medical Marijuana in Florida?

Under Florida's medical marijuana program, a licensed physician must certify that you have one or more qualifying conditions and that the benefits of medical marijuana outweigh the risks. The conditions listed below are recognized by the Florida Department of Health's Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU). If your condition is not on the named list, a physician may still certify you if they determine medical marijuana is appropriate for your treatment.
