Medical marijuana certification
What We Do
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.
Conditions That Qualify
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:
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) *
- Terminal Conditions
- Chronic Nonmalignant Pain **
* Requires psychiatric diagnosis
** Pain that is caused by or originates from a qualifying medical condition and persists beyond the usual course of that condition

What’s next?
After you complete the form on this page, a patient care specialist will pre-screen you free of charge to determine if you may qualify for medical marijuana treatment in Florida. Once you have been pre-screened, we will schedule an appointment for you to visit one of our qualifying physicians at a convenient location and time. If our physician determines you qualify, they will enter you into the Medical Marijuana Use Registry, so the Florida Department of Health can issue you a certification. Once you receive your state-issued certification, you are free to visit a local dispensary. Still have questions?

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.

Awesome experience with Dr. Schultz at CannaMD. I was transferring my certification from another doctor, and Dr. Schultz made the process easy. The staff was professional and had all the paperwork ready; the office was spotless, and Dr. Schultz was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Thank you, CannaMD.

I had an excellent experience! All of the staff are very helpful. What I love specifically is Dr. Singh. I will follow her anywhere! She takes the time to listen and truly try to give her patients the right combo of Rx for their specific ailment. I don't feel shuffled through like cattle as some offices do in the name of max profit.

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 am not sure yet, for I have not received my card yet nor have I started any medications. However with that being said I found Dr. Schultz and the office staff, very helpful and courteous.UPDATEDI have had my card for 210 days, The office staff is helpful, my pain levels have been somewhat manageable and I am enjoying the days a lot more as a result of having less discomfort.
