Summary

Home cultivation of cannabis remains illegal throughout Florida, including Largo, regardless of medical marijuana cardholder status, because state law restricts production to licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers under Florida Statute 381.986.

(c) The department may suspend or revoke the registration of a qualified patient or caregiver if the qualified patient or caregiver: 1. Provides misleading, incorrect, false, or fraudulent information to the department; 2. Obtains a supply of marijuana in an amount greater than the amount authorized by the physician certification; 3. Falsifies, alters, or otherwise modifies an identification card; 4. Fails to timely notify the department of any changes to his or her qualified patient status; or 5. Violates the requirements of this section or any rule adopted under this section. (d) The department shall immediately suspend the registration of a qualified patient charged with a violation of chapter 893 until final disposition of any alleged offense. Thereafter, the department may extend the suspension, revoke the registration, or reinstate the registration. (e) The department shall immediately suspend the registration of any caregiver charged with a violation of chapter 893 until final disposition of any alleged offense. The department shall revoke a caregiver registration if the caregiver does not meet the requirements of subparagraph (6)(b)6. (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.

Full Breakdown

Section 381.986, Florida Statutes, authorizes only state-licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs) to cultivate, process, and dispense cannabis. Florida law does not permit qualified patients or caregivers to grow cannabis at home, and the 2024 Amendment 3 ballot measure that would have legalized recreational adult use did not include home grow rights and failed to reach the 60% supermajority required. Cultivation, possession of cultivation equipment with intent to grow, or possession of marijuana plants are state criminal offenses under Florida Statute 893.13. Largo Police enforce alongside state and federal authorities, and rental properties used for grows can be seized.

Violations & Fines

Cultivation is a third-degree felony under Florida Statute 893.13(1)(a) punishable by up to 5 years prison and $5,000; trafficking quantities trigger mandatory minimum sentences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a Florida medical marijuana patient grow plants at home?
No. Florida's medical program does not include home cultivation rights. Patients must purchase cannabis only from licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers.
Did Amendment 3 change cannabis laws?
No. The 2024 ballot measure received 56% but needed 60% to pass, so cannabis laws including the home grow prohibition remain unchanged.
