Florida’s medical cannabis program, established pursuant to the Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act in 2014 and expanded by Amendment 2 in 2016, allows qualified patients with medical marijuana cards in Deltona to legally purchase and use cannabis for a range of qualifying conditions.
To participate, patients must first receive medical certifications from Florida-licensed physicians, after which they can purchase medical cannabis from licensed dispensaries in Deltona and other parts of Florida. Forms of medical cannabis available to qualified patients include flowers, edibles, tinctures, and topicals.
Minors with qualifying conditions can also access medical cannabis but must appoint adult Floridians as their caregivers.

However, public consumption, transferring to others, and home cultivation of cannabis are illegal. Driving while impaired from the use of marijuana is also prohibited by law.
To obtain a medical cannabis identification card in Deltona, follow these steps:
Consult with an OMMU-approved Physician: A consultation with an OMMU-approved physician is crucial to evaluate your medical history and verify that you have a qualifying condition, such as cancer, epilepsy, Crohn's disease, or chronic nonmalignant pain caused by a qualifying condition, among others. Note that not all Deltona or Florida physicians are authorized to issue medical cannabis certifications, so be sure to locate a qualified healthcare practitioner from the Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU) list of approved physicians
Register with the Florida MMUR (Medical Marijuana Use Registry): Once you have received your medical cannabis certification, the healthcare practitioner will add your data to the MMUR, allowing you to access your profile and apply for a medical marijuana identification card. Upon accessing your profile using the information received from the OMMU by mail, submit the information needed for a medical marijuana card. If you apply by mail, you must submit a completed medical marijuana card application form, proof of Deltona residency, a passport-style photo, and a $75 check or money order made out to the state Department of Health. The mailing address is:
Office of Medical Marijuana Use
PO Box 31313
Tampa, FL 33631-3313
