Miami’s beachy shores and spring break soul make it the perfect vacation destination. Found on the southeastern coast of Florida, there are so many things to do in this incredible city. Grab your camera and some friends for a photo shoot at the Wynwood Walls - blocks of provocative, ever-changing street art in the city. Miami’s Museum Park features the Perez Art Museum Miami and the Frost Museum of Science for stunning views and a wealth of knowledge. Sun, surf and sand can be found on the famous South Beach. Grab your friends and fill your cooler with your favorite drinks to have a classic beach day. Explore the city’s Cuban culture in Little Havana at the shops, restaurants, bars and culture center. 

Historically, Florida had a very strong anti-marijuana stance, but in 2016 voters approved a medical marijuana program. Florida residents diagnosed with a qualifying medical condition are allowed to legally obtain a medical marijuana card. Qualifying medical conditions include: 

• Cancer

• Epilepsy

• Glaucoma

• HIV/AIDS

• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

• Crohn’s disease

• Parkinson’s disease

• Multiple sclerosis (MS)

• Medical conditions of the same kind or class as or comparable to the others listed.

• A terminal condition diagnosed by a physician other than the qualified physician issuing the physician certification.

• Chronic nonmalignant pain caused by a qualifying medical condition or that originates from a qualifying medical condition and persists beyond the usual course of that qualifying medical condition.

Of course, those without an MMJ Card will be subject to some of the country’s harshest recreational laws. Those possessing 20 grams or less could be charged with a misdemeanor subject to 1-year imprisonment and a $1000 fine. Possession, sale or use of anything greater than 20 grams is a felony punishable from 5 to 30 years in prison.
