Only medical marijuana dispensaries are allowed. Under Fla. Stat. §381.986(11), Sunrise may ban dispensaries or apply pharmacy-equivalent location rules, but may not cap their number if allowed. No recreational sales exist in Florida.
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 the City of Sunrise either ban dispensing facilities entirely or allow them under location criteria no stricter than those for pharmacies licensed under Chapter 465. A city that allows dispensaries may not limit how many open. Sunrise controls siting through its Land Development Code zoning districts. 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 city code enforcement. Selling to non-patients is prohibited.
