“My use of narcotic pain relievers has disappeared. I am currently 6 months sober. My drinking has declined, as has my use of sleep medications. I have been much less anxious and depressed.”
“I have lost 43lbs since my last visit. It has improved my anxiety, pain, and I feel more focused on my goals. I feel better because I am not in so much pain.”
“Reduces the severity of spasms, muscle cramping, helps to improve flexibility, helps with headaches, helps with sleeping, helps improve overall daily activities and anxiety.”
"Cannabis has been a game changer for me... Less pain, more sleep plus helped with my anxiety and depression."
We aim to be as transparent about our refund policy as possible. It is as follows:
There is a $5.00 non-refundable deposit when you book your appointment.
Your $5.00 will go towards the overall cost of services.
If you do not show up for your appointment, the deposit will be forfeited.
Services are non-refundable once a recommendation is issued after your exam.
What conditions are considered eligible for a recommendation?
With Amendment 2, Florida’s Medical Marijuana program empowers people diagnosed with PTSD, Cancer, Chronic Pain, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, Glaucoma, ALS, HIV/AIDS, Epilepsy, and Crohn’s Disease to access a natural alternative.
If you’re struggling with mental or emotional stress, your symptoms may be more similar to PTSD than you think. Please call us at (239)-221-6367 with any qualification questions.
nHow long will this process take before I can purchase from a dispensary?
Patients should expect a 10-14 day application processing time from The Office of Medical Marijuana Use to issue your approval. Once you have this notification and you have received your recommendation from an Express Cannabis Doctor, you will be able to visit or place a delivery order from any approved dispensary.
Do I receive my recommendation on the first visit?
Yes!!! Florida state law requires that a certified physician activate your Medical Cannabis once they have completed an exam and confirmed that you qualify. At this time, you’ll receive your Patient ID number!
Do I need a previous diagnosis to qualify for my card?
Express Cannabis Cards’ certified doctors can verify your symptoms and recommend an alternative with Medical Marijuana. While it is strongly preferred to have a pre-existing diagnosis, it is not legally required. Recommendations are issued at the Doctor’s discretion and if he or she feels you do not qualify from debilitating emotional or physical symptoms, you will be denied.
