Sanctuary Wellness Medical Marijuana Card Doctors operates as a multi-state telehealth clinic headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, providing medical marijuana evaluations and integrative wellness services since 2018. The practice serves patients across ten states—Florida, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, and Ohio—through secure video consultations with Florida-licensed physicians. This telehealth-first model eliminates geographic barriers for patients seeking cannabis certifications and complementary peptide therapies, allowing individuals to complete evaluations from home while maintaining full regulatory compliance in each jurisdiction.
The clinic's treatment portfolio extends beyond cannabis certifications to include targeted peptide protocols for metabolic and hormonal health. Physicians prescribe Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for weight management in patients with obesity or metabolic syndrome, utilizing these GLP-1 receptor agonists to regulate appetite and improve glycemic control. Sermorelin therapy addresses growth hormone deficiency through a growth hormone-releasing hormone analog that stimulates natural pituitary function, commonly prescribed for patients experiencing age-related decline in lean muscle mass and recovery capacity. NAD+ infusion protocols support cellular energy production and may benefit patients managing chronic fatigue or seeking neuroprotective effects, though the clinic emphasizes that individual responses vary and outcomes depend on comprehensive health assessments.
The medical team consists of Florida-licensed physicians trained in cannabis medicine and functional wellness approaches. During telehealth consultations, providers review patient medical histories, current medications, and qualifying conditions to determine eligibility for medical marijuana cards under each state's specific regulations. For peptide therapy candidates, physicians order baseline laboratory work—including metabolic panels, hormone levels, and kidney function tests—before initiating treatment, then monitor patients through follow-up video appointments to adjust dosing and assess tolerance. This diagnostic rigor ensures peptide prescriptions align with documented deficiencies rather than speculative wellness claims.
Patients beginning the medical marijuana evaluation process complete an online intake form detailing their qualifying condition, whether chronic pain, PTSD, cancer, epilepsy, or another state-approved diagnosis. The video consultation typically lasts 15-30 minutes, during which the physician explains Florida's medical marijuana laws, discusses strain selection based on cannabinoid and terpene profiles, and answers questions about delivery methods and dosing strategies. Approved patients receive their recommendation immediately, which the clinic submits to the state registry for card processing. For peptide therapy patients, the initial consultation involves a more extensive review of symptoms, lifestyle factors, and treatment goals, followed by a customized protocol that may combine multiple peptides depending on the patient's metabolic or hormonal profile.
Sanctuary Wellness differentiates itself through educational transparency in both cannabis and peptide medicine. Physicians routinely explain the endocannabinoid system's role in pain modulation and appetite regulation, and they discuss terpene profiles—such as myrcene for sedation or limonene for mood elevation—to help patients select appropriate cannabis products. In peptide consultations, providers clarify mechanisms of action: how Semaglutide slows gastric emptying to prolong satiety, or how Sermorelin pulses mirror natural growth hormone release patterns. This teaching approach, reflected in patient feedback about feeling informed and empowered, positions the clinic as a resource for individuals seeking to understand their treatment options rather than passively receive prescriptions. The telehealth platform accommodates patients across rural and urban areas of the ten-state service region, with appointment availability extending into evening hours to serve working professionals.
