Growing cannabis at home is a felony in Hernando County. Florida allows medical marijuana only through state-licensed dispensaries and permits no home grow, even for registered patients. Cultivating cannabis is manufacturing a controlled substance under Fla. Stat. §893.13, a felony offense.
Florida legalized medical marijuana in 2016, and voters rejected recreational legalization when Amendment 3 fell short of 60 percent in 2024, but neither permits home cultivation. Under Fla. Stat. §893.13(1)(a) a person may not manufacture a controlled substance, and Florida law treats growing cannabis plants as manufacturing. Registered medical marijuana patients in Hernando County buy only from licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers; they cannot grow their own. Cultivating 25 plants or fewer is a third-degree felony, and larger grows escalate to second-degree felony trafficking. No county or city ordinance can authorize a home grow that state law makes a crime.
Growing cannabis exposes the grower to felony prosecution under Fla. Stat. §893.13, ranging from a third-degree felony for a small grow to second-degree felony charges and prison for 25 or more plants.
