Medical Marijuana Card in Miami, FL

In-person certification for Miami and Miami-Dade County patients — about 35 to 45 minutes south on I-95, depending on traffic to Dr. Krasne’s Fort Lauderdale office.

Florida requires an in-person exam. Unlike states that allow telehealth, Florida law requires the physician who certifies you to examine you in person. Miami patients are seen by Dr. Benjamin Krasne at his office in Fort Lauderdale, 28 miles away — about 35 to 45 minutes south on I-95, depending on traffic.

The office is easy to reach from Miami — about 35 to 45 minutes south on I-95, depending on traffic, roughly 28 miles.

Snowbirds and seasonal residents in Miami

You don’t have to be a full-time Florida resident. If you spend at least 31 consecutive days in the Miami area each year and maintain a residence here, you qualify. A medical card from another state is not valid in Florida, so if you winter in Miami, you need a Florida certification.
