A Dr. Green Relief physician evaluates North Port patients under Florida law. Our Florida medical marijuana card guide explains what happens after the visit: your certification goes into the Medical Marijuana Use Registry, and you apply to the OMMU for your ID card. Under section 381.986(2), Florida Statutes, ten diseases are named, including Parkinson’s disease, HIV and ALS, along with two broader groups: terminal conditions diagnosed by a physician other than the certifying one, and chronic nonmalignant pain that began with a qualifying condition and has continued past that condition’s usual course. The FAQ further down lists all of them. A physician can also treat a comparable diagnosis as qualifying, but only after examining you, and no one can promise certification beforehand. The OMMU dispensing list (October 8, 2026) showed 4 locations in North Port, 7 in Port Charlotte and 3 in Venice, so patients here can fill orders close to home.
Charlotte County had 9 dispensing locations on the same OMMU list (October 8, 2026), 7 of them in Port Charlotte. Already a patient? Sarasota County and Charlotte County patients book renewals through our Sarasota office too.

FAQ
How do I get a medical marijuana card in North Port, Florida?
Three steps, all set by state law: an in-person evaluation, your physician’s certification in the state registry, and your OMMU ID card application. The first exam has to happen in person, with the physician in the same room as you. The physician then assesses your full medical history and decides whether to enter a certification listing your condition, dosage and the forms you may buy. After certification, complete your OMMU ID card application online and pay the $75 fee. The OMMU’s approval and processing times are in the answer on how long the card takes, below; once it approves your application, you can fill your order at any Florida dispensing location, including the 4 in North Port and 7 in Port Charlotte on the October 8, 2026 OMMU list. New patient evaluations at our Sarasota office are $99. 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.
What medical conditions qualify for a marijuana card in North Port?
The qualifying medical conditions written into Florida’s statute (section 381.986(2)) are:
- Cancer
- Epilepsy
- Glaucoma
- HIV
- AIDS
- PTSD
- ALS
- Crohn’s disease
- Parkinson’s disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- A terminal condition, as long as a different physician from your certifying one diagnosed it
- Chronic nonmalignant pain, when it is caused by or began with a qualifying condition and continues after that condition’s usual course
A physician who examines you may also certify a condition not named here if it is comparable to, or of the same kind or class as, one of the ten listed diseases; this does not extend to the terminal condition or chronic pain items. Examples a physician might weigh this way include some cases of anxiety, depression, migraines or neuropathy, but the decision is the physician’s alone and certification is never promised. The physician decides at your evaluation whether your diagnosis qualifies, so bring any records that document it.

How long does it take to receive my Florida MMJ card after my Sarasota appointment?
OMMU’s cards page gives an average of 10 business days to approve an online application, and its weekly update of October 16, 2026 lists 5 business days to process a complete one and 5 business days to print the ID card. After your evaluation, your physician enters your certification in the registry and you apply for your ID card online or by mail. Once the OMMU approves it, you can fill your order at a dispensary. A mailed application takes 3 to 5 days longer than one filed online.
Where do North Port patients get a medical marijuana renewal?
North Port patients book renewal evaluations through our Sarasota office. Physician certifications can cover no more than three 70-day supply limits (210 days), after which a follow-up evaluation is required. Book that visit before your current certification ends, and note that the annual OMMU state card fee is $75.
Do North Port and Sarasota County patients need an in-person visit?
Yes. A first certification in Florida needs an in-person exam, and patients throughout North Port, Sarasota County, Port Charlotte, Venice, Englewood and nearby areas book that exam at our Sarasota office, and later renewals through it.
