Relief of many conditions via the medical use of cannabis in Jacksonville isn’t a difficult thing to achieve following these steps:
Step 1- Have proof you live in Florida
While this isn’t unreasonable, I wanted to point out that proof you live in Jacksonville isn’t the important part, as a state issued ID for any city or town will permit you to see an in-state doctor, which also happens to be:
Step 2- Get a MMJ card issued to you
Speak to a doctor, and go over treatment of your condition with cannabis with them, in the cases they are not one that can issue the Medical Card, they can certainly point you to one, who, by Florida law will not need to rediagnos you, they can accept your physician’s diagnosis and issue the card to you without a second set of testing. Qualifying conditions include:
-Cancer
-Epilepsy
-Glaucoma
-HIV/AIDS
-Crohn’s disease
-Parkinson’s disease
-Multiple sclerosis (MS)
-Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
-Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
-A terminal condition diagnosed by a physician other than the qualified physician issuing the physician certification
-Medical conditions of the same kind or class as or comparable to those above
-Chronic nonmalignant pain caused by a qualifying medical condition or that originates from a qualifying medical condition and persists beyond the usual course of that qualifying medical condition.
In addition, medical cards have also been issued by doctors for the following conditions:
-Alzheimer’s Disease
-Anxiety
-Anorexia
-Arthritis
-Back Pain
-Cachexia
-Cyclical Vomiting
-Diabetes
-Hepatitis C
-Inflammatory Bowel Disease
-Irritable Bowel Syndrome[IBS]
-Lyme Disease
-Migraine
-Muscle Spasms
-Muscular Dystrophy
-Severe & Chronic Pain
-Severe Nausea
-Sickle Cell Anemia
-Spasticity
-Wasting Syndrome
Step 3- Find a local dispensary that delivers to you.

Fluent
- 9901 San Jose Boulevard Jacksonville 32257
-Once selected, visit the specific supplier’s website, or call their ordering number, and
Step 4- Place your order
This is arguably the most important part, do you want to use the traditional method and simply smoke the flower? Are you interested in a tincture, or maybe a topical? This is also a good time to consider the potent concentrates, such as dabs, shatter, or a vape pen cartridge (using this last option, you will need to also ensure you have the batteries or other accessories the specific brand requires to use the cartridge, but you probably already know that)
In addition to needing to know the way you plan to treat yourself, there are many strains from which you can make your selection, the old popularities of Purple Haze, Northern Lights, Sour Diesel, and Hindu Kush now have a multitude of crosses. Other new strands are also available, for this reason, I would suggest a first time buyer to go to the physical store they wish to purchase from, as the people there will be able to walk you through what they offer, as well as point you in the direction of strains either they find most pleasant, or they believe will best help your symptoms, or conditions.
Step 5- ENJOY
While step 4 is the important part, this is the best part, enjoy your choice after waiting for the arrival of your order (some things never change right?)
