The new laws for Medical Marijuana can be confusing. That’s the simple fact that many states, especially Florida, are currently dealing with. Thousands of people in just our Tallahassee area are likely wondering, “Could I qualify for a medical marijuana license?”. At GreenSide Cannabis Clinic, our mission is to help clear up confusion on this topic, and help you get the medicine you might need.
Who qualifies for Medical Marijuana in Florida?
In Florida, there are several specific illnesses that can directly qualify you for this form of treatment as outlined specifically in the law.
These conditions are:
• Cancer
• Epilepsy
• Glaucoma
• HIV
• AIDS
• Seizures
• Crohn’s disease
• Chronic muscle spasms
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
• Parkinson’s disease
• Multiple sclerosis
Those diagnosed with any of the above conditions will likely qualify for marijuana treatment, but will still need to schedule an appointment with one of our licensed Medical Marijuana physicians in order to be properly evaluated and prescribed based on the law.
You may still be wondering, “what if I am not currently diagnosed with any of the qualifying conditions?” This is where there is some interpretation built into Florida’s laws for Medical Marijuana. Any condition that could be prescribed pain medication could qualify for this form of treatment. The list of ailments not explicit in the law, but that has previously qualified is very long, and includes conditions that could result in more benefits for the patient than side effects, leaving a good deal of subjectivity available.
The only way to know if you could truly qualify for Medical Marijuana is by scheduling an appointment with a licensed professional. If you are already diagnosed with one of the outlined conditions, think you may have a qualifying condition, or would just like to schedule an appointment to discuss your options, please feel free to Contact Us and we would be happy to connect you to our experienced Medical Marijuana certified doctor in the Tallahassee area.
