Medical Marijuana Doctor for Clearwater Patients
Clearwater patients are seen at our Tampa office, 4600 N Habana Ave Ste 32, for the in-person exam Florida requires before a first certification. A qualified physician, an MD or DO with an active Florida license and the state-required course and exam, must certify you. That new patient visit is $199; the state ID card adds $75, plus $2.75 online.
Do you need a Florida medical marijuana card in Clearwater, FL? Dr. Green Relief offers evaluations with a qualified physician on the OMMU list, who decides whether you qualify and guides you through the certification process. Florida requires a certifying physician to hold an active, unrestricted Florida MD or DO license and pass a 2-hour course and exam, and our doctors help with the registry documentation. Clearwater patients see a qualified physician in person at our Tampa office, 4600 N Habana Ave Ste 32, Tampa, FL 33614, open Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM.
In addition, we provide general education about medical cannabis and its safe use, helping patients better understand their options. If cannabis is not appropriate for your condition or you do not qualify, your consultation will not result in certification. 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.
Our Doctors Can Evaluate You for Smokable Cannabis
Smokable: buy up to 2.5 oz per 35 days | Possess up to 4 oz
Smokable certification is at the qualified physician’s discretion under Florida law.

Pain and Our Medical Marijuana Doctors for Clearwater Patients
Dr. Green Relief helps Clearwater patients through the marijuana card process.
Here is how Florida law treats pain. Florida’s list of qualifying conditions includes chronic nonmalignant pain that is caused by or originates from another qualifying condition. If you take opioids for pain, ask your physician whether medical marijuana fits your treatment plan.
We explain Florida’s rules for Clearwater patients and help you understand dosing for your condition. We also explain the 70-day supply limit and where medical use is not allowed.
Florida law requires the physician to find that medical marijuana would likely outweigh the potential health risks for you before any certification. Visit our Tampa office for an evaluation.

Marijuana Card Fee
Our evaluation fee for a Florida marijuana card is listed on this page. Florida bills its ID card fee separately, and if that online payment is returned or declined, the state adds a $15 service fee and you must mail a check or money order for the total.
Once your physician certifies you, the state charges its own fee to register you in the program. That state ID card fee is $75 a year, plus $2.75 online. Each re-certification needs a follow-up physician visit, which you can book from the renewal tile on this page. Florida’s constitution does not require health insurers or government agencies to reimburse medical marijuana expenses (Art. X, s. 29(c)(7)), and marijuana is not reimbursable under workers’ compensation, so ask your health plan whether it covers an evaluation. See our FAQ for details.
Florida Medical
Marijuana Laws
Florida treats cannabis possession without a card as a crime, even when you use it for pain. The penalty is set by statute. Possessing 20 grams or less without a card is a first-degree misdemeanor in Florida. Let our Tampa medical marijuana doctors explain how a state ID card lets you buy lab-tested cannabis products from licensed dispensaries, which Florida law calls medical marijuana treatment centers.
Clearwater
Marijuana Dispensaries
Your card will be valid across Florida at all state dispensaries. If you are approved, we will inform you where the closest dispensaries are to your address, as well as how you can order cannabis products if you are unable to drive there yourself.

FAQ
What conditions qualify for a medical marijuana card in Florida?
Florida law (section 381.986(2), Florida Statutes) lists these qualifying medical conditions:
- Cancer
- Epilepsy
- Glaucoma
- HIV (positive status)
- AIDS
- Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
- Crohn’s disease
- Parkinson’s disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- A terminal condition diagnosed by a physician other than the one who certifies you
- Chronic nonmalignant pain caused by, or originating from, a qualifying medical condition and lasting beyond its usual course
After examining you, a qualified physician may also certify you for another condition, such as some cases of anxiety, depression, migraines or neuropathy, if it is of the same kind or class as, or comparable to, one of the listed conditions other than a terminal condition or chronic nonmalignant pain; that decision is at the physician’s discretion, and certification is never promised.
Can I use my out-of-state medical marijuana card in Clearwater?
No. Florida does not recognize medical marijuana cards from other states. However, you can apply as a seasonal resident, with two proofs of Florida address, if you live in Florida at least 31 consecutive days a year, keep a Florida residence, return home at least once a year and are registered to vote or pay income tax in another state.
What cannabis products can I buy in Clearwater with a medical marijuana card?
You can buy from licensed treatment centers (MMTCs) up to the amounts and forms in your physician certification. Smokable flower is capped at 2.5 oz per 35 days unless the Department of Health approves more, and an edible serving may not exceed 10 mg of THC.
Is there a dispensary near Clearwater I can visit after getting certified?
Yes. Clearwater had 13 locations on the OMMU dispensing list on October 8, 2026, and Pinellas County had 54. Your Florida medical marijuana card is valid statewide, so you can use any licensed dispensing location in Florida, not only those in Clearwater.
How often do I need to renew my Florida medical marijuana card?
Florida requires two separate renewals:
Physician recertification: At least once every 30 weeks (210 days)
State ID card renewal: Once per year through the MMUR portal ($75 state fee)
Clearwater patients book each renewal visit at our Tampa office.
