Florida bans home cultivation of cannabis for any purpose. Even registered medical marijuana patients cannot grow plants at home under FL §381.986. Cultivation is a felony under FL §893.13 with sentence enhancements for proximity to schools. Miami-Dade cannot legalize home grows.
Florida law allows medical marijuana use only through products purchased from state-licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers. FL §381.986 does not authorize patient cultivation, and FL §893.13(1)(a) treats cultivation of any amount as a third-degree felony, escalating to second-degree felony for 25 plants or more under FL §893.135. Cultivation within 1,000 feet of a school, park, or public housing carries enhanced penalties. Recreational cultivation is also prohibited following Amendment 3's November 2024 defeat. Miami-Dade is fully preempted from authorizing home grows by both criminal statute and §381.986. Even hemp grown for personal CBD requires a FDACS hemp permit.
Growing one cannabis plant is a third-degree felony punishable by up to 5 years prison; 25 or more plants is a second-degree felony with 15-year maximum.
