Summary
Home cultivation of cannabis is illegal in Coral Springs under Florida state law. Florida Statute §893.13 criminalizes the cultivation, manufacture, and delivery of cannabis. The 2024 recreational legalization ballot measure (Amendment 3) received 56% voter approval but failed to reach the required 60% supermajority, so recreational use and home growing remain prohibited statewide.
(f) The department may revoke the registration of a qualified patient or caregiver who cultivates marijuana or who acquires, possesses, or delivers marijuana from any person or entity other than a medical marijuana treatment center. (g) The department shall revoke the registration of a qualified patient, and the patient’s associated caregiver, upon notification that the patient no longer meets the criteria of a qualified patient. (h) The department may adopt rules pursuant to ss. 120.536 (1) and 120.54 to implement this subsection. (6) CAREGIVERS.
Full Breakdown
Under Florida Statute §893.13 and §893.135, the cultivation of any amount of cannabis is a third-degree felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Possession of 25 or more plants is treated as evidence of intent to sell or distribute, elevating the charge to a second-degree felony with penalties of up to 15 years imprisonment. Medical marijuana patients registered with the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU) under FL §381.986 may purchase cannabis from licensed dispensaries but are explicitly prohibited from growing their own plants at home. Senate Bill 546, proposed in 2025, would have allowed registered patients to cultivate up to 2 plants per residence, but it did not pass. Coral Springs follows state law without additional local provisions for home cultivation. The Coral Springs Police Department enforces drug laws in coordination with the Broward Sheriff's Office.
Violations & Fines
Cultivation of any amount: third-degree felony, up to 5 years imprisonment, $5,000 fine (FL §893.13). Cultivation of 25+ plants: second-degree felony, up to 15 years imprisonment, $10,000 fine. Trafficking thresholds (300+ plants or 25+ lbs) carry mandatory minimum sentences of 3-15 years under FL §893.135.
