Florida preempts local dispensary zoning under FL §381.986(11). Orange County must either ban all Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers or allow them wherever pharmacies are permitted. Orange County allows MMTCs in commercial zones on par with pharmacies with 500-foot separation from schools.
Cities within the county (Orlando, Winter Park) have made individual ban or allow decisions. Unincorporated Orange County allows MMTCs. Vertically integrated MMTC model: only state-licensed operators (Trulieve, Curaleaf, Surterra, etc.) may operate dispensaries. No smokable flower ban since 2019 legislation. Recreational dispensaries do not exist; Amendment 3 failed November 2024.
