I,, understand that medical marijuana is a medicine used in treating the suffering caused by serious and debilitating medical conditions. Serious and debilitating medical conditions include: cancer and a physical condition that chronically produces seizures or severe and persistent muscle spasms. Additionally, medical marijuana is used in the treatment of other chronic or persistent medical symptoms that:

• Substantially limits the ability of the person to conduct one or more major life activities as
  defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-336)
• Other conditions for which marijuana provides relief
• If not alleviated, may cause harm to the patient’s safety or physical or mental health

Patient agrees by initialing the following:

I attest that the information on this form is correct and any medical history presented or discussed with the doctor is all factual and complete to the best of my knowledge.

I understand that I must be a Florida State resident to obtain an approval or recommendation for the use of Low-THC cannabis or medical cannabis under the Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act of 2014. I affirm that I have a serious medical condition that negatively affects my quality of life. I have found or am interested in finding out whether or not medical marijuana provides substantial relief and improvement in my condition.

I understand that the cannabis plant is not regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration and therefore may contain unknown quantities of active ingredients, impurities and/or contaminants. I understand the potential risks associated with an elevated daily consumption of medical marijuana including risks with respect to the effect on my cardiovascular and pulmonary systems and psychomotor performance, risks associated with the long-term use of marijuana, as well as potential drug dependency. I am aware that the benefits and risks associated with the use of marijuana are not fully understood and that the use of marijuana may involve risks that have not been identified. In requesting an approval or recommendation for the use of medical marijuana, I assume full responsibility for any and all risks involved in this action.

I have been advised that medical marijuana smoke contains chemicals known as tars that may be harmful to my health. Recent research indicates that vaporizing cannabis may eliminate exposure to tar. Should respiratory problems or other ill effects be experienced in association with its use, it should be discontinued and reported to the physician immediately.

I was also advised that the use of medical marijuana may affect my coordination and cognition in ways that could impair my ability to drive, operate machinery, or engage in potentially hazardous activities. I assume full responsibility for any harm resulting to me and/or other individuals as a result of my use of cannabis.

The Florida Office of Compassionate Use (HB 307 effective March 27, 2016) provides for the possession for the personal medical purposes of the patient with a physician approval or recommendation.

I, the undersigned, hereby request a consultation by the physician for purposes of determining the appropriateness of medicinal marijuana treatment. I acknowledge that using cannabis as a medicine has been explained to me and that any questions that I have asked have been answered to my complete satisfaction.

Should an approval be made for my medicinal use of marijuana, I understand that there is a renewal date specified by the physician depending on the condition. I understand that it is my responsibility to see the physician to assess the possible continuance of cannabis use beyond the term of the approval.

Furthermore, the undersigned, or anyone acting on my behalf, hold the physician and his/her principals, agents, and employees, free of and harmless from any liability resulting from the use of medical marijuana.

I further understand that by signing below, I am authorizing the release of any part of this record, except for identifying information, for use in data analysis of medical marijuana treated patients.

I hereby declare that I have completely and truthfully disclosed all information regarding my medical condition and attest that I do not intend to use my medical recommendation for the purpose of illegally obtaining, growing or distributing medical marijuana.
