A caregiver must:
Be 21 years of age or older and a Florida resident. Agree in writing to help with the qualified patient’s use of medical marijuana. Be registered in the Medical Marijuana Use Registry as a caregiver for only one qualified patient, unless otherwise permitted. Successfully complete a caregiver certification course developed and administered by Florida Department of Health, which must be renewed every two years.
To review the state’s Caregiver Certification Course Study Guide, visit Florida’s Office of Medical Marijuana Use.
Note: Florida’s Caregiver Certification Course is built into the Medical Marijuana Use Registry and is free of charge. Caregivers are not required to take any other course or examination to be registered as a caregiver.
