Maybe in theory, but in reality, your primary care physician wants nothing to do with it. He/she'll be happy to refer you to a licensed marijuana practitioner with a diagnosis that justifies it, but then will gracefully (and quickly) bow out. He will not want to deny you, nor will he want to deal with the red tape that is inevitable. Then, you go to the marijuana clinic where they will spend 5 minutes and give you a card for about $300. Then you go to a dispensary and get some THC product---but not to smoke. I hold a Colorado license and one of these "so called doctors" tried to recruit me, even though I practiced and lived in NY. The first such "doctors" that got into this (when it was only medical marijuana in Colorado) also owned the dispensaries and were grossing $ 1 million/ month------yes, per MONTH. I have no use for this type of "physician", and I doubt Florida is any different. I would like to ask my good friend blue for her opinion as well.
