Florida's named qualifying conditions
Florida OMMU lists cancer, epilepsy, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Crohn's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Use the current OMMU patient page rather than old clinic lists.
Other statutory pathways
OMMU also describes medical conditions of the same kind or class as, or comparable to, those named; a terminal condition diagnosed by a physician other than the certifying physician; and chronic nonmalignant pain caused by or originating from a qualifying medical condition that persists beyond its usual course. These are statutory definitions, not a general claim that any chronic pain or symptom automatically qualifies.
What the list does not promise
A qualified physician must evaluate and diagnose the patient under Florida law and decide whether medical marijuana is an appropriate treatment. If the physician certifies a patient, the separate OMMU registry and identification-card steps still apply. See the Florida card guide for that process.
