Medical marijuana treatment centers (MMTCs) allowed only under FL §381.986. FL §381.986(8)(b) preempts local bans but allows 500-ft buffer from schools. Recreational cannabis ILLEGAL statewide.
FL §381.986 allows only state-licensed MMTCs. FL §381.986(8)(b) permits local 500-ft buffer from K-12 schools (matching pharmacy standards). Jacksonville allows MMTCs in commercial zones with pharmacy-equivalent standards. No recreational cannabis dispensaries permitted; FL Amendment 3 (recreational legalization) failed in 2024. Possession of non-medical cannabis remains a criminal offense.
Unlicensed dispensary: felony under FL §893.13. Possession without MMUR card: misdemeanor (≤20g) or felony (>20g).
