One of the main reasons Florida legalized medicinal marijuana was to help patients suffering from debilitating diseases. Research shows that, for a lot of patients, marijuana is the only thing that helps them. It relieves pain, helps with nausea and helps revive their appetite. But, what good does it help if they can’t travel to get their medicine? Thankfully, this isn’t a problem in Fort Myers. There are plenty of local dispensaries that can deliver your cannabis products right to your home or office. Of course, you need to prove that you have a medical marijuana card.
You also need to register with the dispensary before they’ll fill your order. But the process isn’t all that difficult. And it is rather convenient, especially for patients who can barely make it to the bathroom let alone drive all the way to a dispensary.
Here, we’ll talk about who qualifies to have cannabis delivered to their home. We’ll also go over the process for how to order your cannabis for delivery. Finally, we’ll list a few of the more popular local dispensaries that can deliver your cannabis and marijuana.
You Must Have a Medical Marijuana Card to Have Cannabis Delivered to Your Home
The idea of ordering cannabis online would have been ludicrous years ago. The concept of having someone deliver marijuana to your home or office was unimaginable just five or ten years ago. Thankfully, since 2017, people suffering from debilitating medical conditions are allowed to legally use medical marijuana. In order to do so, you need to apply for and be approved for a medical marijuana card. This requires you to do the following things:
- Make an appointment with a licensed marijuana doctor
- Demonstrate that you have a qualifying medical condition
- Show that you’ve tried alternate treatments and they have not worked
- Get approval from the doctor
- Pay your state fee for the card
- Wait for it to be delivered to your house
You may wonder what kinds of medical conditions will qualify you for a medical marijuana card. Under Florida law, and in Fort Myers, you need to show that you have a debilitating condition. The statute doesn’t outline exactly what these conditions are. This was on purpose. The legislators knew that, over time, different conditions would be approved under the law. Some of the current medical conditions that will qualify you for medicinal marijuana in Fort Myers include the following:
- Cancer
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Crohn’s Disease
- AIDS/HIV
- Glaucoma
- PTSD
Of course, this list isn’t exhaustive. There are plenty of other diseases and conditions that may be approved.
Once You Have Your Marijuana Card You Can Order Cannabis Online or In-Person
Once you have your medical marijuana card, you can order your cannabis either online or in-person. We recommend that you make your first couple of orders in-person. This way, the staff at the dispensary can help you choose your cannabis products. It depends on what your doctor has prescribed for you. The people at the dispensary can answer any questions you might have.
Once the dispensary confirms your prescription with the state marijuana registry, they can fill your order. You can place it online and either pick it up or have it delivered to your home. This is quite simple and convenient.
