Medical Marijuana Doctors in West Palm Beach, FL

If you’re living in West Palm Beach, FL and have chronic pain because of a debilitating condition, you might be able to finally get relief. Patients in West Palm Beach and the surrounding areas can use medical marijuana to help treat their symptoms. Those looking for a medical marijuana doctor in the area have many factors to consider while searching for a reputable physician.

The city of West Palm Beach operates under Florida state law, so patients must:

1. Be at least 18 years old
2. Provide proof of residency (Florida ID, passport, bank statement, utility bill, etc.)
3. Obtain medical records from a physician describing their diagnosis
4. Have been a patient of the ordering doctor for a minimum of three months prior to the diagnosis
5. Have tried other treatments without success
6. Register with the Department of Health

All medical marijuana patients in Florida must also be registered with the Florida Office of Compassionate Use. This Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act of 2014 allows patients to use low-THC products.

Qualifying Conditions

Patients in Florida must be diagnosed with one of the following debilitating medical conditions to qualify for legal protection under the Florida Medical Marijuana Legalization Initiative:

• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease)
• Crohn’s Disease

• Glaucoma
• Epilepsy
• HIV/AIDS
• Seizures
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Chronic muscle spasms
