When the state of Florida legalized the use of medical marijuana (MMJ) for qualified patients in 2016, they established a set of guidelines physicians and patients are required to follow in order to legally be able to recommend and use medical marijuana products. If a person who suffers from a state qualifying condition sees a Florida Medical Marijuana Doctors and becomes a registered MMJ patient, they are required to renew their registration with the Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU) on an annual basis.
