K LAre there any purchase limits?

Currently, you are able to purchase 2.5 ounces of whole flower cannabis every 35 days. This limit has been set by the department of health and may change in the future. The other route limits depend on what your doctor sets as your prescription. There is no purchase limit on Miracle Leaf’s CBD and Delta 8 THC products.

You may, however, keep your products in the trunk of your car or inaccessible so there is no question about whether you have medicated yourself in your car if you do happen to encounter law enforcement officials.

K LCan I get my card through telemedicine?

Depending on which state you reside in, telemedicine may be an option for you. Florida’s telehealth emergency waivers ended on June 26, 2021, after Governor Ron DeSantis’ executive orders expired. The waivers were originally contained in Emergency Orders 20-002 and 20-003. On July 21, 2021, the Florida DOH issued an update that telehealth services were no longer permitted in Florida. Other states around the country may still be able to offer telehealth services. For more information on our national telehealth services please contact our corporate office!

K LCan I have both a Concealed Weapon License and Medical Marijuana license?

Having a medical marijuana card will not be a reason to prevent you from getting a concealed weapons permit. The Florida Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Nicole “Nikki” Fried, oversees the state department tasked with issuing concealed weapons permits and has confirmed that becoming a medical marijuana patient after receiving a concealed weapons permit will not lead to the permit being revoked.
