What If I Am Not Suffering From A Qualifying Condition?

Home » Florida's Medical Cannabis Program » What If I Am Not Suffering From A Qualifying Condition?

While ten different debilitating conditions are enumerated within the law, the state Constitution and the established law allows physicians the authority to certify patients who are suffering from “medical conditions of the same kind or class as or comparable to those enumerated” for which the physician believes the benefits to the patient would outweigh the risk.

Because cannabis has had no instances of fatality, has a small and predictable side effect profile, has very few drug interactions, and has shown promise in the treatment for many different ailments, it is easy for the physician to certify a course of cannabis treatment for a wide variety of illnesses upon examination of the patient and review of the patient’s medical history.

For each medical conditions of the same kind or class or as comparable to, the qualifying physician must send to their respective board:

1. Documentation supporting the qualified physician’s opinion that the medical condition is of the same kind or class as the conditions listed in this question.
2. Documentation that establishes the efficacy of marijuana as treatment for the condition.
3. Documentation supporting the qualified physician’s opinion that the benefits of medical use of marijuana would likely outweigh the potential health risks for the patient.
4. Any other documentation as required by board rule.
