Home cannabis cultivation illegal in Florida including Plant City. Medical marijuana patients must purchase from licensed MMTCs. Recreational use and home grow remain prohibited statewide.
Florida prohibits home cultivation of cannabis under all circumstances. The 2016 medical marijuana constitutional amendment (Amendment 2) and implementing FL Statute 381.986 require registered patients to obtain products only from licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs, commonly called dispensaries). Recreational cannabis remains illegal; Amendment 3 for adult-use recreational cannabis failed at the November 2024 ballot (achieving roughly 56% but not the 60% supermajority required). Plant City has no separate home-grow ordinance because it is preempted by state law. Cultivation of any amount is a felony under FL 893.13.
Cultivation under 25 plants: 3rd-degree felony, up to 5 years prison and $5,000 fine. 25+ plants: 2nd-degree felony, up to 15 years. Federal charges also possible.
