How Much Cannabis Can You Buy in Sunny Isles with a Florida Medical Card?

For patients living in Sunny Isles Beach, medical cannabis purchase limits are set by Florida law and Florida Department of Health rules, not by the city itself. In other words, a qualified patient shopping at a licensed Florida Medical Marijuana Treatment Center (MMTC) in or near Sunny Isles follows the same statewide limits as a patient in Miami, Fort Myers, or Jacksonville.

Florida tracks medical marijuana purchases through the Medical Marijuana Use Registry (MMUR). When a patient buys products, those amounts are logged against the patient’s physician certification, and the system enforces rolling time-window limits.

Smokable flower (the 35-day limit):

Florida limits smokable marijuana to no more than one 35-day supply within any 35-day period, and a 35-day supply may not exceed 2.5 ounces, unless an exception is approved.

Smokable flower possession cap (the “at any given time” rule):

Separately from purchase timing, Florida also limits what a patient may possess at once: a qualified patient generally may not possess more than a 70-day supply, or (for smokable marijuana) the greater of 4 ounces or an approved exception amount.

Non-smokable products (the 70-day THC cap):

For routes like inhalation (vape), oral capsules, tinctures, edibles, topical creams, etc., Florida uses a 70-day supply framework with an aggregate cap of 24,500 mg THC across non-smokable routes (unless an exception applies).
The Department’s dosing rule also sets route-specific daily limits (for example, inhalation and oral products have different daily maximums), which is why two patients may see different “remaining amount” screens depending on which product types they use.

Can a patient ever get more than the standard limits?

Yes. Florida allows a qualified physician to request an exception through the MMUR for certain caps (including the smokable 35-day limit and THC dose limits), and the Department reviews and approves or denies those requests.

How to obtain a Florida medical marijuana card (Sunny Isles steps)

A Sunny Isles resident follows the same statewide process:

See a qualified Florida marijuana physician who evaluates the patient and, if appropriate, enters the patient into the MMUR and issues a certification (including routes and amounts).
Apply for the Registry ID Card through the state system (online is common), providing required documentation such as proof of residency and paying the $75 state fee.
Wait for approval, then use the card (and a photo ID) at any licensed Florida MMTC.

With the card active, the patient’s purchases are automatically tracked—helping them stay compliant while shopping confidently.
