Full Breakdown
Florida permits medical marijuana under Amendment 2 (2016) and Fla. Stat. §381.986, but it authorizes no home cultivation, even for qualified patients. Patients and caregivers obtain product only from a licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Center; growing marijuana violates §893.13 and is a criminal offense. Recreational cannabis is not legal in Florida: the 2024 adult-use Amendment 3 received about 56 percent, short of the 60 percent needed to pass. No City of Sunrise or Broward County ordinance can override state law, so any home grow in Sunrise is illegal.
Violations & Fines
Cultivating marijuana is a criminal offense under Fla. Stat. §893.13, prosecuted by weight and plant count, and can bring felony charges, prison, and fines. A patient's registry status may also be revoked.
