Home cultivation of cannabis is illegal in Florida. Florida's medical marijuana program (Amendment 2) allows qualifying patients to purchase cannabis products from licensed dispensaries but does not authorize home growing. Tampa enforces state law prohibiting cultivation.
Florida law does not permit home cultivation of marijuana for medical or recreational purposes. Qualified medical marijuana patients must purchase products from licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs). Any cultivation of cannabis plants is a criminal offense under Florida Statutes §893.13. Efforts to legalize home cultivation have not succeeded in the Florida legislature. Possession of cannabis plants is treated as manufacturing under Florida law.
Growing any cannabis plants is a felony under Florida law. Cultivation of 25 or more plants is a second-degree felony punishable by up to 15 years imprisonment and $10,000 fine. Fewer plants may be charged as a third-degree felony. Penalties vary based on quantity.
