Santa Rosa Beach is home to Kaya Life’s original cannabis physician office, the first of its kind in the Florida Panhandle. The office is at 870 Mack Bayou Road, Suite B, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida 32459. It certifies patients for the state medical marijuana program and does not sell cannabis. Dr. Stephanie Johnson founded the practice and remains its lead clinician.

Patients begin with a physician evaluation, then registration in the state’s Medical Marijuana Use Registry. The clinic reviews qualifying conditions such as epilepsy, Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, PTSD, and cancer. Eligibility requires Florida residency of at least 30 days, and seasonal residents qualify with a Florida address. The team handles certifications, renewals, and transfers from other physicians.

Kaya Life opened here in 2016 and has since added offices in Panama City, Pensacola, Marianna, and Mississippi. The Santa Rosa Beach office runs 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday and closes on weekends.

Mack Bayou Road sits just north of US-98, near Sandestin and the 30A beach towns. Patients come from Santa Rosa Beach, Miramar Beach, Freeport, and DeFuniak Springs. A phone call or the website sets up an appointment.

Who is Kaya Life Santa Rosa Beach for?

Florida residents and seasonal residents seeking a physician’s certification for the state medical marijuana program, or renewing an existing one.

Can seasonal residents qualify?

Yes. Seasonal residents with a Florida address who spend at least 30 days a year in the state may qualify, though approval can take a few extra days.

Does Kaya Life provide the cannabis itself?

No. Kaya Life is a physician practice; once certified, patients buy cannabis at a state-licensed dispensary.
