Five Interesting Facts About Medical Marijuana Cards in Bonita Springs


-        Key insights and interesting facts into the medical marijuana card industry in Florida and what it means to have a card in Bonita Springs.
Bonita Springs is in a unique position. The area is perfectly situated to take advantage of inland areas like the Bird Rookery Swamp and engulf the islands that help form Estero Bay. It’s a wonderful combination for lovers of the outdoors living there.
But they’re in a unique position in the medical cannabis industry, as well. They’re ideally located near some awesome medical cannabis doctors in Naples, but outside of Collier County where residents don’t have access to their own dispensaries.
Here are five interesting facts about medical marijuana cards in Bonita Springs.
  1. It’s easy to get a recommendation for a medical marijuana card in Bonita Springs.
The most important step is the first one: qualifying for a medical cannabis card. According to the state of Florida, there is a long list of conditions that can be treated by cannabis. Some of those conditions include ailments such as:
        Anxiety
        Parkinson’s disease
        Spasms
        Back Pain
        Crohn’s disease
        Anorexia
        And many more
An exhaustive list of qualifying conditions can help someone get started, but a doctor’s recommendation will still stand in the way. That’s why a diagnosis must be accompanied by a documented medical history showing the patient’s relationship with one doctor.
With the documentation ready and a qualifying condition, a medical cannabis doctor will usually write a recommendation for a medical marijuana card in Bonita Springs.
  1. A medical marijuana card doesn’t allow you to grow your own cannabis.
Perhaps one of the saddest parts of Florida’s medical marijuana program is that it doesn’t allow for patients to grow their own medicine. They aren’t even allowed to build co-operatives to work together.
All cultivation is given to a few licensed producers and then processed through licensed businesses and retailers. Having a medical marijuana card in Bonita Springs means working in a system of tightly regulated businesses to get medicine.
While the regulations have dampened people’s hopes of growing their own medicine, they have helped build up a flourishing industry. Thankfully, however, a strip club owner in Florida recently won the right to grow his own which could set a precedent for future cases to come forth and press the issue in the courts.
  1. You can take your medical cannabis with you anywhere in the state.
Traveling with medical cannabis within the state in 100% legal. However, that doesn’t mean you can cross a state border, even if that neighboring state has its own form of legalized cannabis.
Likewise, it would be ill-advised to take medical marijuana on a plane. While a TSA agent is likely to refer the matter to a local officer who would see you are a medical patient, it’s not worth the hassle.
So, how can you travel with it? Sealed, untouched, unused, and away from the driver in a car. Your best bet is in the trunk to avoid questions from an officer.
  1. A medical marijuana card in Bonita Springs lets you possess enough cannabis for over two months.
You heard that right. At any given time, a medical marijuana card in Bonita Springs means a two-month supply is legal. Florida has a 70-day supply limit that impacts both sales and possession.
The limit can come in a mixture of all the different types of products available. That includes vape pens to tinctures and soon edibles.
  1. You don’t have to permanently live in Bonita Springs to get a medical marijuana card there.
Some call them ‘snowbirds’ others call them ‘northerners,’ whoever they are, they deserve medical cannabis as much as anyone.
Thankfully, the State of Florida recognized that it had many part-time residents it had to accommodate. That’s why it’s so easy to get a medical marijuana card in Bonita Springs as a temporary resident.
Florida’s medical marijuana program is accessible to people with a mortgage of course, but it’s also available to people who have a condo or timeshare. Similarly, a utility bill is enough to establish residency in Bonita Springs. With that, a medical marijuana card is no problem.
