How A Medical Marijuana Prescription Works In Clearwater, FL

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.

Polmed Primary Care & Walk-In Clinic Can Help

If you have a qualifying condition, the medical team here at our offices can work on your evaluation to determine whether you make a good candidate for prescription marijuana. After the recommendation, the staff can assist further by helping you with the process of filling out all the paperwork to get your Florida medical card for marijuana.

Some of the many benefits of using prescription marijuana include the following:

  • Reduce joint pain and inflammation
  • Relieve chronic and acute pain
  • Reduce anxiety
  • Alleviate skin irritations and itching
  • Helps with sleep and relaxation
  • Reduces nausea

  • Cancer

We Love Our Customers!

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.


The team at the front office is amazing I appreciate how nice Sarah has been with helping me with my appointments. The whole team does a great job and really care. Cassie Thomas


Great staff, smooth process. Booked through Zocdoc, staff called and confirmed appointment. Visit was friendly and informative. I was looking for a Primary, this office pretty much summed my decision. Thank you Polmed!


I felt very comfortable and welcomed. Doc was very knowledgeable.looking forward to having this team guide me back to health!


I wouldn’t change doctors for anything, Dr. Kaszuba is the best! I overlook the small stuff that is irrelevant ! He goes above & beyond !Not only is he a polite gentleman, but he has nailed every condition I’ve had, proving certain specialists incorrect! He’s old school knows the body in its entirety not just generally! I hope he gets rest, though! Also, his staff are awesome they love him! It’s all a breath of fresh air especially during these times. Thank you, all!


Very professional, i highly recommend


I have been a patient of Dr Kaszuba, Ben Landry, and "Ci Ci" for 15 years. I am a retired 33-year clinican myself. I credit Dr. Kaszuba for saving my life, as he recognized my symptoms at a very early stage, intervened, and took action immediately. His staff maintains a high standard of ethics in their areas of expertise especially Sarah. And have been very considerate of my health status, relaying information and communications.I travel 2 hours one- way for my appointments because of the high quality of care.
