Does Florida have legal cannabis? Yes! Medical Cannabis is legal in Florida. In November 2016, the Florida Medical Marijuana Legalization Initiative (known as Amendment 2) legalized medical marijuana treatment in Florida.
On June 16, 2014, Florida became the 22nd state to legalize (at least partial) access to medical marijuana when Governor Rick Scott signed the Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act of 2014. Patients suffering from cancer, epilepsy, chronic seizures, or muscle spasms could use low-THC cannabis products recommended by a licensed doctor. Doctors and patients had to register on the Compassionate Use Registry, an online database maintained by the Florida Department of Health. The governor also signed Senate Bill 1700 to protect the privacy of doctors recommending low-THC marijuana and their patients.
On October 6th, 2022, the Florida Department of Health released an emergency order in response to Hurricane Ian that temporarily reinstated telehealth appointments for qualified marijuana cardholders.
This emergency order is currently in effect for select counties through November 30th, 2022.
