Florida has a list of qualifying conditions that make residents of the state eligible for medical cannabis certification. Thus far, the Sunshine State has approved the following conditions:
· Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)/Lou Gehrig’s Disease
· Cancer
· Crohn’s Disease
· Chronic (nonmalignant) Pain
· Epilepsy
· Glaucoma
· HIV/AIDS
· Multiple Sclerosis
· Parkinson’s Disease
· Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
The state also details that any “medical conditions of the same kind or class as or comparable to those above,” and “a terminal condition diagnosed by a physician other than the qualified physician issuing the physician certification,” qualify patients for certification.
Lastly, a “chronic nonmalignant pain caused by a qualifying medical condition or that originates from a qualifying medical condition and persists beyond the usual course of that qualifying medical condition” is also considered according to the state. Along with having a qualifying medical condition, residents must also meet other state requirements to be eligible for a medical cannabis license.
Like the patient, a caregiver must meet specific requirements by the state to assist a patient with medical cannabis use. A caregiver must prove their address with a valid driver’s license or state identification card, have an email address, and provide a photo. The cost of a caregiver card is $77.75."
