Home cultivation of cannabis is prohibited in Florida. Only state-licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers may cultivate. Recreational cannabis remains illegal after Amendment 3 failed in November 2024.
Florida Statute §381.986 governs medical marijuana under the Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act. Only licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs) may legally cultivate cannabis. Patients with qualifying conditions and a state ID card may purchase from MMTCs but cannot grow their own. Amendment 3 (recreational cannabis) failed in November 2024 with 55.9% support, falling short of the 60% supermajority required. Home cultivation by patients or recreational users remains a felony under FL §893.13. Palm Beach County has no local cultivation authorization.
Cultivation of any amount: third-degree felony, up to 5 years prison and $5,000 fine. Cultivation of 25+ plants: second-degree felony, up to 15 years and $10,000.
