Full Breakdown
" The ordinance was adopted by Ord. No. 15-06 in November 2014 and amended by Ord. No. 18-05 in November 2017, after Florida voters approved medical marijuana, confirming the city chose to keep public consumption banned even for state-authorized medical users. The prohibition covers every form of the substance, meaning smoking, vaping, edibles and tinctures are all captured, and applies across the full range of public property: buildings, rights-of-way, and any other public space, not just streets or sidewalks. Because the ban incorporates the land development code's and Florida Statutes' definitions of marijuana, cannabis and Low-THC cannabis rather than writing its own, enforcement tracks whatever those state and local definitions currently cover, including hemp-derived products that meet the statutory THC threshold for regulated cannabis.
Violations & Fines
Section 13-16 does not carry its own penalty clause and sits within Chapter 13's general offenses, so violations are punished as provided by Code section 1-13's general penalty provision covering city code violations without a stated fine, typically enforced through a municipal citation issued by police in the field.
