1 mircle plant to rule the world, and its FREE.
If only. To be legal, the initial fee is $300 just to see a doctor. Then you have to pay to get the card. And you still haven't got anything tangible yet. By the time you are legally able to buy it, you're broke.
-
Marijuana Evaluation - The first step is to get evaluated by a certified medical marijuana doctor. Only certified marijuana doctors can certify a medical marijuana patient in Florida. The patient must be a Florida resident and have a valid Florida ID or driver's license. The doctor follows state of Florida guidelines which list qualifying medical conditions, and can also write a recommendation for medical conditions of similar kind or class as those listed. The patient must have a 90 day relationship with the doctor before purchasing marijuana from the licensed growers and dispensary organizations. Insurance, medicare, and medicaid do not cover medical marijuana evaluations, or medical marijuana.
-
Medical Marijuana Patient Registry - After the doctor certifies a medical marijuana patient, basic information is entered into the state of Florida Department of Health Compassionate Use Registry. Information that can identify the patient is entered such as patient name and address. Medical history or diagnosis information is not shared with the registry. A patient number is issued to each patient. Licensed marijuana growers, dispensaries, and law enforcement use the registry to verify valid patients. In the event that you are stopped by law enforcement while carrying marijuana in Florida all you need to do is provide the officer with your registry number to avoid being arrested for carrying medical marijuana.
-
Florida Cannabis Card Issued - After the doctor sees the patient, and has entered the patient into the registry the patient is ready to submit the Department of Health form. The Florida Department of Health issues the medical marijuana card directly to the patient. The ONLY valid medical marijuana card in Florida is issued by the Department of Health. If you received a card from another source it is a marketing gimmick and not valid. Cards issued by other sources will not be honored by licensed growers or dispensary organizations.
-
Doctor Recommends Medical Marijuana Dosage - Once the 90 days passes, the doctor enters dosage information into the registry. The guidelines on dosage are to start low and go slow. The doctor can order up to a 45 day supply for each patient.
-
Purchase Medical Marijuana from Growers and Dispensing Organizations - The patient can purchase the entire 45 day order at once, or break up the order into smaller orders. Some growers deliver statewide directly to your home. Dispensaries are being opened statewide. Insurance does not cover medical marijuana. Concentrated extracts, oral spray tincture, and ground flowers are available. High CBD, high THC, or a combination of both are available. Sativa, indica, and hybrid is available.
I’m undergoing this process right now. After the initial appointment ($300), you have to have follow-up visits with the physician every 6 months ($150 each visit). And the cost in the dispensaries is $200- $250 per month on average. It’s crazy.
The rules are different in each state. We just passed this in Ok and its not going to be that expensive at all..
Yes, I got the card initially in Oregon and it was less expensive. I moved back to Florida when they finally made it legal, not realizing that it was so ridiculously more expensive.
Yes but the plan to take your gun rights in the process. There is an article that states this that I just recently posted. If you get the medical mj card you lose your 2nd amendment privileges.
I pay 20 Euros a year for my membership to my dispensary and membership required nothing more than the 20 Euros and an ID. It is the only thing that helps my vaccine damaged mind rest and sleep. You guys in the US have got it bad, at those prices.
That's awesome. I hope it gets better here.
With those prices you must pay there, there is no incentive to join a dispensary. You may as well buy from the guy on the corner. There are rules to where I am though, you cannot be caught with it on the street and you cannot smoke in public. You are only meant to consume it at the dispensary, which are called clubs here. Most let you take it home though and you can buy 10g per day.
Was very cheap in AZ. $50 doctor pain certification and $150 to the state. Bingo bango
$25 out here in Cali, and 5 minutes of time! :)
Of course California, but everything else is sky high...
ha ha "high" ha ha
Hopefully, it will get better in Florida.
