Florida only allows medical cannabis delivery by Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs) licensed under FL §381.986. Recreational delivery is illegal — Amendment 3 failed in November 2024. Tampa cannot regulate MMTC delivery routes.
Florida Statute §381.986 authorizes Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs) to deliver cannabis directly to qualified patients with a state Medical Marijuana Use Registry ID. Delivery is limited to vertically integrated, state-licensed operators (Trulieve, Curaleaf, etc.). Local governments cannot prohibit MMTC delivery, though they may regulate hours of brick-and-mortar dispensary operations. Recreational adult-use cannabis remains illegal in Florida; constitutional Amendment 3 received 55.9% support in November 2024 but failed to clear the 60% threshold. Unlicensed delivery (including hemp-derived THC products beyond DOACS rules) can be charged as trafficking or unlicensed sale. Tampa Police enforce state cannabis law in city limits.
Unlicensed delivery is a felony under FL §893.13. Possession of non-medical cannabis without a registry card can be a misdemeanor or felony depending on amount.
