In Florida and in all states that provide qualifying patients with a medical marijuana card, it is essential to have the medical card present when making a purchase from a dispensary. This is true if you are going to a new dispensary or one you visit on an ongoing basis to purchase medical marijuana.
It is also essential to have a medical card on your person if you are in possession of medical marijuana. Without the card, patients may face additional complications if they are stopped by law enforcement while in possession of medical marijuana.
Replacing the MMJ Card
Patients in Miami Gardens, FL, can replace their medical marijuana card without the need to see a medical marijuana doctor. The form is available online, although it cannot be submitted online.
The OMMU or Office of Medical Marijuana Use requires patients to complete the form and submit it with the required fee for the replacement medical card. The same form is also used if you have a change of name, change or remove the caregiver listed, or want to surrender the card. Minor patients must have a parent or legal guardian’s signature on all forms and the appropriate ID for the parent or guardian.
In addition to the form, patients in Miami Gardens, FL, must also submit a copy of an approved form of identification. For most patients, this means a copy of a driver’s license or Florida identification card. This process can take time, so plan to apply for a replacement as early as possible to prevent delays in having the ability to purchase medical marijuana.
