After your Certification Visit
There are a few important things to look out for after your initial certification visit:
- You will
receive an approval email from the Office of Medical Marijuana Use
within 7-14 business days.
- If you don’t receive an email within that time frame, or receive one that indicates the application was rejected, contact your doctor's office so they can sort it out.
-
Familiarize yourself with the cannabis products available from the
nearby dispensaries.
- Check out our Medical Marijuana Product Guide to help you understand the different product types, how they work, and how long their effects last.
- Whether
or not you’re new to cannabis therapy, it’s best to have a plan
before making your first dispensary visit.
- Review our Dispensary Guide for tips and helpful suggestions during your visit.
- Also, check out our Space Coast Dispensary Locator Tool to find one near you.
- Take note
of the date when you received your certification. If your
physician gave you the maximum allowed certification time, you
shouldn't have to return for your recertification for seven
months.
- Set a reminder incase your doctor's office forgets to contact you. That way you don't end up at dispensary 8 months later and aren't allowed to purchase product.
