Back in 2014, the Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act was ordered by Florida legislators. With this law, certain doctors can recommend mild treatment using clinical cannabis to some patients – namely those living with terminal sickness or chronic pain. If you are interested in learning more about having a medical marijuana prescription in Clearwater, Polmed Primary Care & Walk-In Clinic is here to help.
Authorized Doctors Only
It is important to note that not all doctors in Florida are qualified to endorse the use of marijuana treatment for their qualified patients. There are fundamental educational requirements in place, and the specialist must have an unrestricted license to practice medicine in the state. They will also have to attend an instructional course and pass state exams to become an endorsing specialist.

I’ve been going to CC, a Nurse Practitioner, Denise, and Sarah, at Dr. Kaszuba’s office for a long time now. I just want to say how I love this office. I found out about the office when I took an elderly patient here for her visit. They were so welcoming, I decided to switch to them for my doctor even though I live in Pinellas Park. I’ve always received the best care here.
