Florida medical marijuana

Medical Marijuana, Department of Health

The landmark bill, the “Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act of 2014,” legalized medical marijuana use in the state of Florida. This bill allows patients and their caregivers access to their medication without being fingerprinted.

On the other hand, any “owners, managers, and employees of a dispensing organization [who] manufacture, possess, sell, deliver, distribute, dispense, and lawfully dispose of low-THC cannabis” are required to undergo fingerprint-based background checks (FL Health Committee Policy, 2014). To complete these “Level 2” background checks, members of marijuana dispensaries must visit a live scan fingerprint vendor. This is where Biometric Impressions Corp. can help you!

Do you live out of state but are looking for a place in the fast-growing medical marijuana market? Each of our offices is equipped to print fingerprints cards to mail to the FL Office of Medical Marijuana Use. You can also come to our Elmhurst, IL office to avoid the mail altogether and submit fingerprints electronically. Find out more about these services here.

Note: As of July 8th, 2015, the Office of Medical Marijuana Use is not accepting applications for new dispensing organizations in Florida. See their Application Process page for more information, applications, and Frequently Asked Questions.
