Pasco County permits state-licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs) in C-2 commercial zones with pharmacy-equivalent standards per FL §381.986(11). Local zoning cannot ban MMTCs if pharmacies are allowed.
Under Florida Statute §381.986(11), Medical Marijuana Treatment Center dispensaries must be regulated the same as licensed pharmacies — counties and cities can either permit MMTCs where pharmacies are allowed, or ban them entirely countywide, but cannot impose stricter standards than those applied to pharmacies. Pasco County permits MMTCs in C-2 General Commercial and similar districts where pharmacies operate, under LDC §400. Several MMTCs operate in Pasco including locations in Wesley Chapel, New Port Richey, Land O' Lakes, and Trinity (Trulieve, Curaleaf, Fluent, Liberty Health Sciences, and others). State-mandated buffers do not exceed those applied to pharmacies; Pasco does not impose additional school/church buffers beyond state law. All MMTCs are vertically integrated under state license — dispensary operation requires a Florida Department of Health OMMU license. Patient verification via state registry is mandatory before sale.
Unlicensed dispensary operation: felony under FL §893.13 and MMTC license forfeiture. Sales to non-registered patients: OMMU license revocation. Zoning violations for siting outside permitted zones: $250-$1,000/day under Code Ch. 2.
