Florida Medical Marijuana Card Costs, Renewals & FAQs

Cost and renewal questions come up in almost every first phone call we get, so here's a straightforward rundown.

What does it cost?

How much a medical marijuana card costs in Florida varies by clinic and includes the physician evaluation plus the state's registration fee. We believe in upfront pricing and consider ourselves one of the more affordable, and often the cheapest, options for patients in the Jacksonville area — ask for exact current pricing during your free consultation, since state fees can change.

Renewing your card

Florida requires medical marijuana card renewal every year to stay active in the state registry. Whether you're searching for medical marijuana card renewal in Florida generally, or medical marijuana card renewal specifically in Jacksonville, the process is the same: a follow-up physician visit before your current certification expires. If your card has already expired, don't worry — an expired medical marijuana card in Florida can typically be renewed quickly, sometimes the same day, rather than requiring you to start over from scratch.

How long does it take?

Florida's medical marijuana card processing time for final registry approval typically runs five to ten business days after your application is submitted, on top of whatever time your consultation and records review take.

What you need to bring

A valid Florida ID is required for your medical marijuana card application in Florida, along with medical records or an in-office exam supporting your qualifying condition.

Is medical marijuana legal in Florida?

Yes. Medical marijuana is legal in Florida under Amendment 2, passed in 2016, and today thousands of certified patients use the program legally through the state registry.

What about Delta-8?

Delta-8 THC sits in a separate legal gray area in Florida and isn't part of the regulated medical marijuana program — it's sold in some retail and hemp shops without a card, but without the same testing standards. For consistent, physician-guided care, most patients are better served by Florida's regulated program.
