Medical Marijuana Doctors Serving Brandon
To get a Florida medical marijuana card in Brandon, you need a qualifying condition and the in-person physician exam Florida requires before a first certification. Brandon patients who book with us have that exam at our Tampa office, where the new patient evaluation costs $199; the FAQ cost answer below spells out the state’s ID card fees.
At the Tampa office you see a physician on the OMMU’s qualified physician list. Only an MD or DO can be a qualified physician, and the doctor needs an active, unrestricted Florida license and must complete the 2-hour course and examination Florida requires, once before approval and again before each renewal of that license.
Brandon is in Hillsborough County, and Dr. Green Relief has no office in Brandon itself. Brandon patients book their in-person evaluation at our Tampa office, 4600 N Habana Ave Ste 32, open Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. At that visit the physician can certify you only after diagnosing at least one qualifying medical condition under section 381.986(2), Florida Statutes, and the qualifying medical conditions section below shows that list. No Dr. Green Relief office is closer to Brandon than Tampa. New patient evaluations are $199. Money-back guarantee: if the physician does not certify you at your visit, your evaluation fee is refunded. The $75 state ID card fee is paid to the Florida Department of Health and is not part of this refund. Once the state approves your ID card, your orders can be filled close to home: on October 8, 2026, the OMMU dispensing list showed 10 locations with a Brandon address.

Questions Brandon Patients Ask a Medical Marijuana Doctor
We believe patients with a qualifying condition deserve a clear, lawful path to medical cannabis. Chronic nonmalignant pain qualifies in Florida only when it is caused by or originates from a listed qualifying condition, so the physician checks the underlying diagnosis first. We walk you through the state rules step by step, and if you are certified, your physician enters the forms and amounts you may buy in the state registry.

Brandon patients are seen at our Tampa office, where we help them get their Florida medical marijuana card certification, and our new patient evaluation fee is listed on this page. The physician and staff there will walk you through the Florida process from your evaluation to your state ID card.

Marijuana Card Basics
For a Brandon patient who holds a physician certification and a valid state ID card, Article X, section 29(a)(1) of the Florida Constitution provides that medical use of marijuana “in compliance with this section is not subject to criminal or civil liability or sanctions under Florida law.” That section limits medical use to amounts not in conflict with Department of Health rules (s. 29(b)(6)), gives no immunity under federal law and does not permit driving or boating under the influence (s. 29(c)(4) and (5)). Before using medical marijuana, you need an approved state ID card. Without one, possessing 20 grams or less of cannabis, not counting resin or anything prepared from resin, is a first-degree misdemeanor in Florida. An evaluation is the first step. Once the OMMU approves your ID card, you can buy from any licensed dispensary, called a medical marijuana treatment center under Florida law, anywhere in the state, provided the card is still active and your physician certification is current.

Evaluation Fee and State ID Card Fee
You pay in two steps. The $199 evaluation is paid to us at the Tampa visit; only if the physician certifies you does the $75 state ID card fee go straight to the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use. The cost answer below covers the online charge and the yearly renewal.

Marijuana Laws
Buying from an unlicensed seller gives you none of the program’s protections. Licensed treatment centers must test all marijuana in a medical marijuana testing laboratory before it is dispensed. Let our Tampa marijuana doctor and staff guide Brandon patients to a state ID card so you can buy lab-tested products from licensed dispensaries.

FAQ
How much does a medical marijuana card cost in Brandon, FL?
Your Dr. Green Relief evaluation fee is $199 for new patients, and we also book renewal visits. Florida also charges a $75 annual state ID card fee paid directly to the OMMU. Total to get started: $274. Paying the state fee online adds $2.75. Your Florida ID card is valid for one year after approval, so the $75 fee applies again at each annual renewal, and Florida accepts a renewal application only in the 45 days before the card expires.
Can I get same-day dispensary access in Brandon?
Not the same day. Your certification has to be in the Florida Medical Marijuana Use Registry (MMUR) before you can apply online for the state ID card, and the OMMU says online applications take an average of 10 business days for approval. Its approval email then lets you fill an order at a Brandon dispensary while the printed card is mailed.
Does anxiety qualify for a medical marijuana card in Brandon?
Anxiety is not listed by name in Florida law, so a qualified physician can consider it only under the comparable-condition test in the qualifying medical conditions section above; that decision is at the physician’s discretion, and certification is never promised. Your doctor will evaluate your full medical history during your visit.
Can I renew my Brandon medical marijuana card online?
Yes. After your initial in-person evaluation, you can complete your 210-day renewal with that same doctor via telemedicine without returning to the office. The renewal fee is shown when you book your renewal with our Tampa office.
Do Brandon patients need medical records to see a marijuana doctor?
Medical records are helpful but not always required. At the consultation, the physician evaluates your condition and medical history directly. If you have prior diagnoses or treatment records, bring them, because the physician must assess your medical history before deciding.
Can I use my Brandon MMJ card at dispensaries in Tampa?
Yes. A Florida card issued to a Brandon patient works statewide. On the OMMU dispensing list cited near the top of this page, the city field showed 36 locations in Tampa and 10 in Brandon, and the county field showed 53 in Hillsborough County. Once your state ID card is approved and your physician certification is in force, you can fill orders at any licensed dispensary in Florida, not just those closest to Brandon.
