Florida prohibits all home cultivation of cannabis. Even qualified medical patients under FL §381.986 must purchase from licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers; growing a single plant remains a third-degree felony statewide. Miami cannot authorize home grows.
Florida's medical marijuana program under §381.986 created a closed vertical supply chain through licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs). Patients with qualifying conditions and a Compassionate Use Registry ID may purchase low-THC or full-strength products but cannot grow their own. Recreational cannabis remains illegal as Amendment 3 failed in November 2024. Cultivation of any amount is charged under §893.13 as a third-degree felony, with 25+ plants triggering trafficking enhancements. Miami may not enact a local home-grow allowance because state drug law preempts the field. Anti-discrimination employment protections also remain limited.
Cultivating any quantity of cannabis is a third-degree felony with up to 5 years prison and $5,000 fine; 25+ plants triggers trafficking with mandatory minimums of 3 years prison and $25,000 fine, plus federal exposure.
