Florida law prohibits home cultivation of cannabis even for medical patients. F.S. §381.986 limits medical cannabis to purchases from licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs). Recreational marijuana remains illegal statewide despite the November 2024 Amendment 3 falling short of the 60% supermajority required.
Florida is one of the strictest states for home cultivation. F.S. §381.986 (medical marijuana statute) does not permit home grow — patients must purchase from MMTCs like Trulieve, Curaleaf, or MUV at their licensed dispensaries. Kissimmee has several licensed dispensaries operating under state license. Recreational possession is illegal under F.S. §893.13 — possession of less than 20 grams is a first-degree misdemeanor (up to 1 year jail / $1,000 fine), over 20 grams is third-degree felony. The November 2024 Amendment 3 to legalize recreational marijuana received 56% support but failed to reach the required 60% supermajority. As of mid-2025, Florida remains medical-only.
Possession <20g: first-degree misdemeanor, up to 1 year/$1,000. Possession >20g: third-degree felony, up to 5 years/$5,000. Cultivation: third-degree felony (any amount) under F.S. §893.13(1)(a)2.
