Medical Marijuana Doctors in Florida

Before purchasing cannabis from a medical marijuana treatment center, Florida patients must first qualify for a medical marijuana certification; CannaMD provides qualified patients with the state-required recommendation to complete this process.

How do I qualify for medical marijuana?

Medical cannabis became legal in Florida in 2016, with the passing of the Florida Medical Marijuana Legalization Initiative, also known as Amendment 2. Rules for use and administration were outlined several months later by Senate Bill 8A.

According to Florida state law, patients suffering from the following conditions may qualify for medical marijuana treatment: ALS, cancer, Crohn’s disease, epilepsy, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Senate Bill 8A also allows for treatment of other “diagnosable, debilitating conditions of like, kind, or class” (such as anxiety, depression, and migraines), as well as terminal conditions and chronic nonmalignant pain.

THERE IS NO WAITING PERIOD TO QUALIFY FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Florida residents and seasonal (“snowbird”) residents may be eligible. Senate Bill 8A defines the term “seasonal resident” as any person who temporarily resides in Florida for a period of at least 31 consecutive days in each calendar year, maintains a temporary residence in Florida, returns to the state or jurisdiction of his or her residence at least one time during each calendar year, and is registered to vote or pays income tax in another state or jurisdiction.

Once eligibility is confirmed by a CannaMD physician, patients may apply for a medical marijuana card from the Florida Department of Health. A state-issued card is required to purchase cannabis from a medical marijuana treatment center (or dispensary).

Medical marijuana may be administered via a vaporizer or as an oil, spray, tincture, or edible food product. Smoking remains prohibited.

The doctor at CannaMD listens to your health concerns. I have specific issues and trying to get off several prescriptions with bad side effects. He agreed that the combinations of prescription I am taking is dangerous. My kids begged me to research some of these treatments and how it is a healthier alternative to some of the medications I’m on. Everyone is different, but the staff at CannaMD are helping many of us with qualifying medical conditions. They care about your health and to help you find solutions that work for you! The licensing process from the State of FL is grueling and very slow. Hopefully, the voters in FL can help us deregulate the difficulty of getting this medicine for more uses like arthritis. I told my arthritis doctor I was considering using it and the entire office said it would help me. The research is proven for several Medical conditions! Thank you CannaMD for helping me stay healthier!

Doctor Schulz saved my life. My marriage has been saved, and I engage with my family once more. I have a semblance of a quality of life. I stopped opiates, cold turkey, the day my email arrived. I cannot claim that a Doctor actually saved me...The exception being Dr. Schulz. Amanda and the rest of the staff are caring, soft spoken, and know the process like the backs of their hands. 100% recommendation. I would see no other Doctor.

My initial Journey from a well put website, very informative, educational and easy to follow. I can say in initiating the call and the Liaison Bryon explained and answer all of my question. Bryon showed compassion as well he did not rush me off the phone but comforted me of my concerns, On the day of my appointment, office was clean and very serene. The staff Ari and Kayleigh both welcomed me and accommodated me to be comforted as I signed a few documents in a pad ( beats paper ) soon as I was done was taken to a room. I did not have to wait for the doctor. Dr. Schultz showed compassion and educated me how medicinal marijuana works, answer all my questions and assure me I will be taken care of concerning my pain. I am grateful to have chosen CannaMD, In Meeting Dr Schultz, The Staff Ari and Kayleigh and Speaking with Liaison Bryon.

I was very impressed with the service. I was skeptical at the beginning to seek their help but after I spoke to the agent who made the reservation I changed 360 degree.The agent was extremely friendly and professional, the nurse or receptionist was very friendly, polite, and professional. Google map didn’t give me the right direction therefore I was late for my appointment.When I told her she was understandable and efficient in check in.The Dr. who was friendly, knowledgeable and answered all my questions.I would recommend this facility and location to anyone seeking help as the last resort to end the pain misery of any disease or health condition.Thank you

Their staff is absolutely phenomenal. Contacting them to book an appointment was exceptional. I worked with Victoria, she went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and what to expect with everything prior to the visit. Doctors assistant Ari could tell I was uncomfortable and started telling jokes and calming me down, also I had an issue with a registration issue and ON A SUNDAY was trying to resolve it! Her off day! Dr. Schultz bedside manner was exceptional. Dr. Schultz asks questions to gain an understanding of your unique situation and provides excellent medical treatment plans. I was against the concept of a medical approach like this but the research and studies don’t lie. It has been nothing short of wonderful working with this office. Highly recommend Dr.Schultz and his team due to their professionalism and ability to accommodate you in every way! CannaMD thank you again!

I was very pleased with my visit. I was contacted right away after filling out the form on their website. Sonia was very thorough, courteous, professional and explained everything. I was more prepared for this appointment than I ever have been for anything before. Today I arrived for my appointment. The office was clean and the atmosphere was relaxing and didn’t feel like doctor’s office at all. The receptionist was professional, and timely. The doctor listened to me, asked questions and went over all the steps and how it works. Dr. Schultz was professional and personable. I would recommend this establishment for anyone looking into an alternative like I did.

Dr Schultz and the entire CannaMD staff were wonderful. I went in very nervous, a bit overwhelmed and in pain. They took their time and helped me lose my nervousness and settle into the appointment. I never felt rushed or unimportant. Everyone made certain I understood all aspects of the process and medication. The facility was also lovely and in a nice area.

The idea of using medical cannabis was just a “maybe” for me, simply because I was nervous about navigating the process. I didn’t realize there were companies like CannaMD until my doctor gave me one of their business cards. I’m so thankful she did because it made the entire process completely easy and painless. The appointment they made for me was with Dr. Jason Schultz in Orlando. His office staff was the right blend of efficiency and friendliness, and he was empathetic and understanding of and patient with my confusion. He listened to me and gave sound treatment advice, providing a good starting point. I’ve already referred two of my friends to CannaMD.

Becky Ogg

12:13 21 Jun 19

My experience with CannaMD was all good. They were very helpful from the beginning. I was clueless as to what I needed to do to become a medical marijuana patient. CannaMD explained everything in detail. When it came time for my appointment I was called early - when was the last time your doctor was early for your appointment??? They were very professional. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. Thank you CannaMD!

Paul D

20:38 21 Jun 19

From the moment you walk in your greeted and checked in. My wait time was very reasonable, not even 10 minutes. My Dr was kind and I felt comfortable takinta to ghe about my health. She listened and we agreed on a treatment plan. When I requested to add the flower prescription it was a breeze. They scheduled my appointment at no charge. To top it all off I got $75 off $150 when I went to my dispensary. I'm happy!

Nikki Adams

This office exceeded my expectations as the staff were very quick, concise, and friendly while being able to cover the information with me in a very digestible manner. My appointment lasted less than 15 minutes and the doctor/staff were very pleasant and easy going with the evaluation. I did not think think that obtaining a medical card would be a convenient and easy going process, but this office has proved me wrong.

Christian Amoroso

Update 9/10/19 It is now nearly 2 years since my first appointment with Dr. Schultz. He has always been very professional, and he never makes me feel rushed. I sincerely wish there was a way he could be my primary physician. The CannaMD team is fantastic! And they have been fantastic since day one. Special thanks to Bryant and Victoria. All of you folks are just a joy to do business with. If you're thinking of trying medical cannabis, you must see the medical and support staff at CannaMD. They are the standard by which all other should aspire to be. My life most likely would have been forfeit, if it wasn't for life changing first visit to CannaMD. **6 STARS** My highest recommendation. Update 2/9/19: What a fantastic medical practice! First, I would like to thank the individuals that went above and beyond their job descriptions, and pulled me out of a huge jam. Bryant, Melissa, Victoria, and Doctor Schulz! Wow! I cannot thank all of you enough for pulling a win for me, out of thin air. I won't re-hash everything that I wrote below (from last year) but, I will say that this medical practice has consistently blown away my highest expectations. And, I'm a tough one to impress!I urge any patient seeking natural, life saving medicine to give CannaMD a try. Oh, and everything going on in this company is "above board." I've heard some horror stories, believe me. This practice has my highest recommendation!!!Doctor Schulz saved my life. My marriage has been saved, and I engage with my family once more. I have a semblance of a quality of life. I stopped opiates, cold turkey, the day my email arrived. I cannot claim that a Doctor actually saved me...The exception being Dr. Schulz. Amanda and the rest of the staff are caring, soft spoken, and know the process like the backs of their hands. 100% recommendation. I would see no other Doctor.
