Home cultivation of cannabis is illegal throughout Florida including Orange County. Florida permits only medical cannabis through FL §381.986, with product distributed exclusively through licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers. Recreational cannabis remains illegal. Amendment 3 recreational legalization failed in November 2024.
Cultivation of any amount of cannabis is a third-degree felony under FL §893.13, punishable by up to 5 years prison and $5,000 fine. Cultivation of 25 or more plants triggers trafficking charges with mandatory minimum sentences. Qualified patients with medical marijuana cards may possess but NOT grow cannabis at home. Federal law also prohibits cultivation. Orange County Sheriff aggressively enforces cultivation statutes.
Felony charge, 5 years prison, $5,000 fine, property forfeiture. 25+ plants: mandatory minimum trafficking sentence.
