If you live in Hollywood, Dania Beach, Hallandale Beach, West Park or Pembroke Park, you can get a medical marijuana card near Hollywood, FL at our Davie clinic, 3325 S University Dr. #108. It's a straightforward drive west. New patients are seen in person and certified the same day when they qualify, renewals can be done by telehealth, and if the physician decides you don't meet Florida's criteria, you pay nothing for the visit.
Hollywood has a little of everything: the Broadwalk and the beach, the restaurants around downtown and Young Circle, quiet streets in Emerald Hills and Hollywood Hills, and plenty of condos full of year-round residents and retirees. What it doesn't have on every corner is a medical office that spends its days doing careful cannabis evaluations.
That's why so many of our patients come from Hollywood and the cities around it. They search for a marijuana doctor near Hollywood FL, find our Davie office, and realize it's a simple trip west.
This guide is for East Broward patients. It covers how to get here, what the first visit is like, what it costs, and some timely things to know about Florida's program right now. If you'd like to ask a question first, call (754) 202-4451.

Getting to Our Davie Office From East Broward
The easiest option is to tap directions to our Davie medical marijuana clinic and let your phone pick the fastest route for the time of day. If you like to know the route in advance, here's how East Broward patients usually come in.
Traffic changes everything in South Florida. A drive that's easy at 10 a.m. on a weekday can drag at 5:30 p.m. If your schedule allows, a mid-morning or early afternoon appointment usually means the easiest trip.
Before you leave home: bring your Florida driver's license or state ID and check that the address is current. The state uses it for your registry record, and a mismatch is one of the most common reasons an application gets held up after the visit.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
- Check-in. We confirm your ID and residency and go over a short intake form covering your symptoms, medications and past treatments.
- The evaluation. The physician talks with you about your condition, examines you and asks what you've already tried. Records help, including imaging reports, specialist notes or a VA summary.
- The decision. If you qualify under Florida law, the physician explains your recommendation, including routes of administration such as oral, inhaled, topical or smokable flower, and the amounts allowed.
- Same-day registry entry. Your certification goes into the Florida Medical Marijuana Use Registry before you leave, and you'll get instructions for your state ID card application.
Our step-by-step guide to a Florida evaluation goes deeper, and if you're not sure whether your condition counts, start with Florida medical marijuana qualifying conditions.

Call (754) 202-4451 Book an EvaluationCommon Conditions We See From East Broward Patients
Every patient is different, and eligibility is always the physician's decision. But some patterns come up often among patients from Hollywood and the neighboring cities.
Chronic pain
Back and neck pain, arthritis-related pain, neuropathy and pain that never settled after surgery. Florida covers chronic non-malignant pain that's caused by or originates from a qualifying condition and persists beyond its usual course.
PTSD
PTSD is named in Florida law. We see veterans, first responders and survivors of trauma, and a VA diagnosis or therapist's notes generally support the evaluation well.
Conditions common in older adults
Hollywood and Hallandale Beach have many retirees. Parkinson's disease, glaucoma, cancer and side effects of cancer treatment such as nausea and appetite loss are all named in Florida law. If you take several medications, tell the physician. Checking for interactions is part of a careful evaluation.
Comparable conditions
Florida also allows certification for conditions of the same kind or class as, or comparable to, the listed ones. That's often how patients with migraines or anxiety alongside PTSD or chronic pain are evaluated.
Starting Carefully: Advice for First-Time Patients
A good number of our Hollywood patients have never used cannabis before, or haven't since they were young. Medical marijuana today is very different from what many people remember. Products are measured, labeled and available in many forms. A few simple habits make the first weeks go smoothly.
Start low and go slow
Begin with a small dose, especially with edibles and capsules, and wait to see how you feel before taking more. Edibles can take an hour or longer to kick in. Taking a second dose too soon is the most common first-timer mistake.
Try it at home first
Your first time with any new product should be at home, on a quiet evening, with nowhere to drive. That way you learn how it affects you without any pressure.
Keep a simple log
Note the product, the dose, the time and how you felt over the next few hours. After a week or two, you'll have a clear picture of what helps. Bring the log to your next visit. It makes adjusting your recommendation much easier.
Think about the form that suits your home
Condo residents often prefer tinctures, capsules or edibles, which avoid smoke and smell in shared buildings. Patients who need quick relief sometimes prefer inhaled forms. Topicals can help with localized joint or muscle pain. Tell the physician about your living situation and preferences so your certification includes the right routes.
Store it safely
Keep products in their dispensary packaging, out of reach of grandchildren and pets. Edibles in particular can look like ordinary candy or snacks.
If something doesn't feel right in the first few weeks, call us. Adjusting a recommendation is a normal part of care, not a sign that something went wrong.
Timely Things Hollywood Patients Should Know Right Now
Florida's cannabis landscape has shifted a lot in 2026. Here's a quick local briefing.
- Delta-8 and THCA are leaving the shelves. Federal hemp rules taking effect December 11, 2026 remove most hemp THC products from the legal market, including many sold in East Broward smoke shops. See our guide to the delta-8 and THCA ban in Florida.
- Recreational marijuana isn't coming yet. The 2026 initiative didn't qualify for the ballot. Read is recreational marijuana legal in Florida in 2026.
- Renewals changed in July. You now need an active physician certification before you can renew your state card. Our guide to renewal changes in 2026 explains the new order.
- Federal rescheduling. State-licensed medical marijuana moved to Schedule III in April 2026, but Florida's rules didn't change.
Beach Town Rules Worth Knowing
Living near the beach comes with a few specific reminders. Florida doesn't allow medical marijuana use in public places, and that includes Hollywood Beach, the Broadwalk, public parks and condo common areas like shared pool decks. Use in a vehicle or boat isn't allowed either, and operating a boat while impaired is illegal.
If you live in a condo, check your association rules. Many restrict smoking or vaping on balconies or in shared spaces, even for medical patients. Edibles, tinctures and capsules are popular with condo residents for exactly this reason, so mention it at your evaluation. Our guide to Florida medical marijuana laws in 2026 covers the full set of rules.
Seasonal Residents in Hollywood and Hallandale
East Broward fills up every winter. If you spend part of the year here and part elsewhere, you may still qualify as a seasonal resident under Florida law, as long as you meet the state's definition and can prove your Florida address with approved documents. Your home state's medical card won't work at Florida dispensaries. Read our guide for snowbirds and seasonal residents before you book.
What to Bring to Your Appointment
- Florida driver's license or state ID with your current address. This is required. Seasonal residents need approved proof of a Florida address.
- Medical records related to your condition, if you have them.
- A list of current medications, including doses. A photo of your pill bottles works.
- Notes on what you've tried and how it went.
- Your questions, written down.
Missing records? Don't cancel. The physician can often establish your condition during the evaluation. Our new patient guide puts the full process on one page.
After You're Approved
Once your certification is in the registry, you'll complete your state ID card application online and pay the $77.75 state fee to the Florida Department of Health. The approval email that follows typically lets you buy from a licensed treatment center while your physical card is in the mail.
There are licensed treatment centers throughout East Broward, and many deliver. Your certification works at any licensed location in Florida, so pick whichever is easiest. Our guide to your first dispensary visit in Broward County covers what to bring and what to ask.
