Home cultivation of cannabis is illegal statewide in Florida including Temple Terrace. Medical marijuana patients must purchase from licensed MMTCs; recreational cannabis remains illegal after Amendment 3 failed in November 2024.
Florida does not permit home cultivation of cannabis under any circumstances. Medical marijuana patients registered under FL §381.986 receive their product only through licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs) like Trulieve, MUV, and Surterra. Recreational cannabis remains illegal; Amendment 3 fell short of the 60% constitutional threshold in the November 2024 election, failing to legalize adult-use. Cultivation of any amount is a third-degree felony under FL §893.13, punishable by up to 5 years in prison and $5,000 fine. 25 or more plants elevates to a second-degree felony with mandatory minimums.
Any cultivation: third-degree felony. 25+ plants: second-degree felony. Near a school: enhanced penalties.
