Where Do Tallahassee Patients Get a Medical Marijuana Card?
A Tallahassee resident with a qualifying condition needs the in-person exam Florida requires for a first certification, and if you book with us, that means a trip to our Tampa office at 4600 N Habana Ave Ste 32. New patients pay $199 for the Tampa evaluation; the FAQ cost answer below gives the state ID card fees.
Only a qualified physician may certify you. Section 381.986 opens that role to allopathic (MD) and osteopathic (DO) physicians alone, requires their Florida license to be active and unrestricted, and makes each one pass a 2-hour course and exam to be approved and then again whenever that license is renewed.
Dr. Green Relief has no Tallahassee office. The phone number and hours for our Tampa office are in the FAQ below on where Tallahassee and Leon County patients see a Dr. Green Relief physician. Of the driving routes we checked from Tallahassee to that office, the shortest runs on US-19 S, US-98 S and FL-589 (the Suncoast Parkway, a toll road) for about 241 miles; the I-10 E and I-75 S route, about 276 miles, skips the Suncoast Parkway. It is a long trip, so plan it before you book.
Florida law (section 381.986(2), Florida Statutes) names the qualifying conditions, and the FAQ answer on qualifying conditions below lists every one and sets out the comparable-condition rule. Whether you qualify is for the physician to decide at your Tampa evaluation, and certification is never promised. The OMMU posts a qualified physician list where you can look a physician up. When your certification is in the registry, our Florida medical marijuana card page explains the next step: applying to the OMMU for your registry ID card. Patients in Tallahassee, Quincy and Crawfordville can fill orders at any of the 21 Tallahassee dispensing locations on the OMMU dispensing list, when we checked it on October 16, 2026. The list places all 21 in Leon County, under 15 company names; it shows none in Gadsden or Jefferson County and one in Wakulla County, in Crawfordville. In 2016 Leon County gave Amendment 2 a vote of 113,919 yes to 36,507 no, about 76 percent yes on our own arithmetic from the Division of Elections county table.

FAQ
How do I get a medical marijuana card in Tallahassee, Florida?
Getting your medical marijuana card as a Tallahassee patient starts with an in-person evaluation, which Florida law requires before a first certification; patients who book with us are examined by a Dr. Green Relief physician at our Tampa office. At that visit the physician examines you, assesses your full medical history and decides whether to certify; a certification goes into the state registry with your condition, dosage and the forms you may buy. Your part comes next: the ID card application to the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use, filed online or by mail. You pay the $75 ID card fee when you apply. Two OMMU figures apply: its cards page puts average online approval at 10 business days, and its weekly update of October 16, 2026 gives 5 business days to process a complete application and 5 to print the ID card. The approval email lets you fill your order at any Florida dispensing location, including the 21 with a Tallahassee address, which are the same 21 that make up Leon County on the OMMU list cited above.
What conditions qualify for a medical marijuana card in Tallahassee?
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. Anxiety, depression, insomnia and nausea are not named in the law, so a physician can consider them only under the comparable-condition rule above. Bring records that document your diagnosis to your evaluation.
How much does a medical marijuana card cost in Tallahassee?
A new patient evaluation at our Tampa office is $199; if you need a renewal or transfer visit instead, call (813) 575-2755 before you book to ask how it works. The state of Florida charges a separate $75 annual registration fee, plus a $2.75 convenience fee if paid online. 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.
Where do Tallahassee and Leon County patients see a Dr. Green Relief physician?
Tampa is the office for patients coming from Tallahassee, Quincy, Crawfordville, Midway, Havana and Monticello: book an in-person visit at 4600 N Habana Ave Ste 32, Tampa, FL 33614, hours Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, phone (813) 575-2755. Renewal visits are booked there too.
Do Tallahassee and Leon County patients need an in-person visit?
Yes for the first certification. Florida law requires an in-person exam with a qualified physician before a first certification, so Leon County patients book that exam at our Tampa office.
How long does a Florida medical marijuana certification last?
Plan on a certification that runs up to 210 days, with the ID card good for one year, which means the certification is what you renew first. Book your renewal visit before then, since Florida requires an evaluation at least once every 30 weeks before a new certification.
Where can I use my MMJ card after getting certified in Tallahassee?
Any licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Center in Florida can fill your order, at one of its dispensing locations or by delivery. That covers the 21 Tallahassee locations on the OMMU list cited above and every other approved location in the state.
Can FSU or FAMU students get a medical marijuana card in Tallahassee?
Yes. Students who are Florida residents may be certified if a qualified physician finds a qualifying condition. A valid Florida ID and documentation of your condition may be required during your evaluation. A student whose home is outside Florida can register as a patient only by meeting the seasonal resident test, which the next answer quotes from the statute. Section 381.986(1)(k)5 also says medical use does not include use in any public place or in a vehicle, except for low-THC cannabis not in a form for smoking. The same item lists other places too. Check your university’s own conduct rules before you bring medical marijuana to campus.
Can I get a Tallahassee medical marijuana card if I am a seasonal resident?
Yes. If your home is outside Florida and you stay in Tallahassee for part of each year, section 381.986(5)(b) defines a seasonal resident as “any person who temporarily resides in this state for a period of at least 31 consecutive days in each calendar year, maintains a temporary residence in this state, returns to the state or jurisdiction of his or her residence at least one time during each calendar year, and is registered to vote or pays income tax in another state or jurisdiction.” An adult seasonal resident with no valid Florida license or ID proves the address with two documents instead, for example a lease plus a utility bill dated within the last 2 months.
