Great question! At our facility, we understand that Cannabis is a personalized treatment option. We know that it may be necessary to try a few products before finding the best solution for you. Unfortunately, the state regulator for Florida’s medical marijuana industry has unveiled new caps for each of the five delivery routes (Inhalation, Oral, Edibles, Sublingual, and Topical) per seventy (70) day period.
The new emergency rules found Friday on the state Office of Medical Marijuana Use website limits patients to purchasing 24,500 milligrams of THC over a 70-day period which cannot exceed a total of 350 mg daily. Sample breakdown below:
Inhalation – 200mg/day (14000mg per 70 day)
Edibles – 50mg/day (3500mg per 70 days)
Oral – 50mg/day (3500mg per 70 days)
Sublingual – 25mg/day (1750mg per 70 days)
Topical – 25mg/day (1750mg per 70 days)
——————————————
Total – 350mg/day (24500mg per 70 days)
These changes will also be done on a rolling 70 day, patients who received their orders before Friday 8/29/22 should be grandfathered in on the amounts but are still subject to the rolling limits.
There are some exceptions to these limits, we will be adding more information about them shortly. Please call (904) 586-0041 or email us if you have questions.
A medical marijuana recommendation is not a prescription. There is no scientific data regarding specific dosing. Given its proven safety and the fact that we are trying to help people avoid deadly medications like opioids and benzodiazepines we are providing you with a substantially above average dose per day. Please start low and slowly increase your dose to avoid adverse reaction. if you have any type of adverse reaction please stop and come see Dr Pulido immediately.
You can schedule an appointment to come in here or give us a call at 904-586-0041 and we can assist you.
45 days before the expiration of your card, access to renewing your card opens on your account. You will complete the same process you did for your initial application on the states website https://mmuregistry.flhealth.gov/
