How to Check Your Medical Card Limit Online in Florida

Florida's medical marijuana program provides qualifying patients with access to cannabis for therapeutic purposes. However, the state imposes specific limits on how much cannabis patients can purchase within defined periods. Knowing how to check your limit on your medical card is essential to ensure you can access your medication when needed without unexpected restrictions.

Understanding Florida Medical Marijuana Limits

In Florida, medical marijuana recommendations are structured with specific limits that determine how much cannabis a patient can purchase over a 70-day period. These limits are set by your qualifying physician and are tracked through the state's Medical Marijuana Use Registry (MMUR).

The Florida Department of Health's Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU) oversees this system, ensuring patients remain within their prescribed limits. Typically, these limits are divided into different routes of administration:

• Inhalation (vaporization or smoking)
• Oral (tinctures, capsules)
• Topical (creams, patches)
• Sublingual (products absorbed under the tongue)
• Suppository
• Edibles

Each route has its own separate limit, measured in milligrams of THC or CBD for most routes, and in ounces for smokable flower.

Accessing the Medical Marijuana Use Registry

The Medical Marijuana Use Registry (MMUR) is Florida's official online system for managing medical marijuana recommendations. This secure portal allows patients to check their limit on their medical card online.

Before attempting to access the MMUR, ensure you have:

• Your Patient ID Number (from your medical marijuana card)
• The password you created when registering
• A device with internet access

If you haven't yet obtained your medical marijuana card in Florida, you'll need to complete that process first. Our guide to obtaining a medical marijuana card in Florida provides detailed information on qualification requirements and application procedures.

Step-by-Step Guide to Checking Your Limits

1. Log in to the Medical Marijuana Use Registry

Visit the official Florida MMUR website at https://mmuregistry.flhealth.gov/ and enter your credentials to log in.

2. Navigate to Your Profile

Once logged in, you'll see your patient dashboard. Look for the section labeled "Your Profile" or "Orders."

3. View Your Active Orders

Click on the "Orders" tab to view all your current and past medical marijuana recommendations. Active orders will show your current prescription information.

4. Check Available Amounts

Within each active order, you'll see detailed information about:

• The total amount recommended for each route of administration
• How much you've already purchased
• The remaining available amount
• The expiration date of each recommendation

This information allows you to check your limit on your medical card directly through the official Florida system.

Interpreting Your Prescription Information

Understanding how to read the information in your MMUR account is crucial for properly tracking your medical marijuana limits:

70-Day Orders

For most routes of administration, your doctor will issue a 70-day order with a total milligram amount. This amount is then divided into 35-day dispensation periods. For example, if you have a 70-day order for 14,000mg of inhalation products, you might receive 7,000mg per 35-day period.

35-Day Flower Orders

Smokable flower is prescribed in 35-day orders with a maximum of 2.5 ounces per 35-day period. State law prohibits patients from purchasing more than 2.5 ounces of flower in a 35-day period.

Remaining Amounts

The system displays your remaining available amount for each route. This number updates automatically after each dispensary purchase is recorded in the system.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter problems while trying to check your limit on your medical card online in Florida, here are some common solutions:

Login Issues

If you're unable to log in, you can reset your password through the MMUR website. For persistent login problems, contact the OMMU directly at (800) 808-9580.

Discrepancies in Available Amounts

Sometimes, there may be delays in updating your purchases in the system. If you notice discrepancies between what you've purchased and what the system shows, contact your dispensary or the OMMU for assistance.

Expired Recommendations

If your recommendations have expired, you'll need to schedule an appointment with your qualified physician for a renewal. Understanding the qualification requirements can help ensure a smooth renewal process.
