Medical Cannabis Recommendations in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Safe, Legal Access to Medical Marijuana Through Licensed Physician Evaluations
At Fusion Wellness Center, located near Las Olas and downtown Fort Lauderdale, we provide compassionate, legally compliant medical cannabis evaluations to help eligible patients gain access to Florida’s Medical Marijuana Use Registry (MMUR). Our licensed physicians are registered with the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU) and conduct thorough in-person or telehealth consultations to determine if medical cannabis is appropriate for your condition.
We make the process simple, respectful, and 100% compliant—ensuring you get the expert guidance you need to begin your journey with cannabis-based medicine legally and confidently.
How Medical Cannabis Works in Florida
Under Florida law (Amendment 2 / Senate Bill 8A), patients must be evaluated and certified by a qualified medical marijuana physician who is registered with the OMMU. If eligible, patients are entered into the state registry and receive a medical marijuana card issued by the Florida Department of Health.
With this card, patients may legally purchase cannabis-based products from licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs) in Florida.
Qualifying Conditions in Florida Include:
- Cancer
- Epilepsy
- Glaucoma
- HIV/AIDS
- PTSD
- ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease)
- Crohn’s disease
- Parkinson’s disease
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Chronic nonmalignant pain
- Terminal conditions
- Other medical conditions comparable in severity or symptoms (subject to physician judgment)
If your condition impacts your daily function, quality of life, or causes significant pain, inflammation, or anxiety, you may qualify.
