Only medical marijuana dispensaries are allowed. Under Fla. Stat. §381.986(11), Bay County and its cities may ban dispensaries or apply pharmacy-equivalent location rules, but may not cap their number if allowed. No recreational sales exist.
Florida licenses Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs) through the Department of Health, and dispensaries sell only to registered patients and caregivers. State law preempts most cannabis regulation, but §381.986(11) lets a county or municipality either ban dispensing facilities entirely or allow them under location criteria no stricter than those for pharmacies licensed under Chapter 465. A locality that allows dispensaries may not limit how many open. Bay County controls siting in unincorporated areas, while Panama City, Panama City Beach, and Lynn Haven govern within their limits. Recreational sales are not permitted anywhere in Florida.
A dispensary operating without state MMTC licensing, or in a jurisdiction that banned dispensing facilities, faces Department of Health enforcement, license action, and local code enforcement. Selling to non-patients is prohibited.
