Home cultivation of cannabis is prohibited in Cape Coral. Florida law allows only medical marijuana through licensed dispensaries, and personal cultivation is not authorized under state statute even for medical marijuana patients.
Florida's medical marijuana law (Amendment 2 / Florida Statutes §381.986) does not authorize patients to grow cannabis at home. All medical marijuana must be purchased from state-licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs). Growing marijuana plants at home remains a criminal offense under Florida Statutes §893.13 regardless of whether the grower holds a medical marijuana card. Cape Coral enforces state law and has no local provision permitting home cultivation.
Growing cannabis at home is a felony under Florida law. Cultivation of 25 or fewer plants is a third-degree felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Larger grows face enhanced penalties. Property may be subject to civil asset forfeiture.
