Dispensaries in Florida

Florida Dispensaries by City

Every Florida city and town with at least one licensed dispensary is listed here, largest first. Orlando leads, followed by Tampa and Jacksonville, and the market is spread wide: 44 of the 166 places on this list have exactly one store. The names follow each store's mailing address, so stores in unincorporated areas such as Brandon, Lutz or Kendall appear under those names. Click a linked city to see its stores.

Florida Dispensaries by Company

Florida does not license independent dispensaries. Every store belongs to an MMTC, a vertically integrated company that must grow, process, transport and sell its own marijuana under section 381.986 of the Florida Statutes, so the company you pick decides the menu and the prices. Our directory lists 23 companies, under the names their stores use.

Trulieve's 170 stores are 22% of the state total, in 125 of the 166 cities and towns on our list. MÜV, Curaleaf and Ayr come next, and the four biggest companies run 401 of the 784 stores. The OMMU's weekly update for October 23, 2026 counted 784 approved dispensing locations; our directory leaves out one that map data reports as permanently closed.

Florida Dispensaries by Region

Stores in our directory sit in 45 of Florida's 67 counties. The 22 without one are mostly small rural counties in North Florida, along with Sumter County, home to much of The Villages. Regional counts are based on each store's county.

Tampa Bay and the Nature Coast (150 stores)

The largest cluster in the state. Hillsborough County has 53 stores: Tampa has 36, 8 of them Trulieve, and Brandon has 10, each from a different company. Pinellas County has 54, led by St. Petersburg (18), Clearwater (13) and Largo (8). Pasco County has 23, from Port Richey to Wesley Chapel, and Hernando and Citrus counties have 11 and 9. MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa is federal property, where a Florida card does not apply.

Orlando and Central Florida (115 stores)

Orlando has 43 stores from 20 companies, more than any other city. Orange County has 51 in all, Seminole County 16, Lake County 15 and Polk County 21, led by Lakeland (9).

How Florida Licenses Dispensaries: The Office of Medical Marijuana Use

Florida's medical program rests on Article X, Section 29 of the state constitution and section 381.986 of the Florida Statutes. The Office of Medical Marijuana Use runs the Medical Marijuana Use Registry, issues patient and caregiver ID cards and licenses the treatment centers.

• One license, the whole supply chain: The OMMU describes MMTCs as vertically integrated and the only businesses allowed to cultivate, process and dispense low-THC cannabis and medical marijuana. Each new dispensing location needs department approval.
• The only legal source: MMTCs are the sole source from which a patient may legally obtain marijuana. Buying elsewhere is a crime under chapter 893 and can cost you your registration.
• Registry check: Before each sale the store must confirm your active registration and valid ID card, and that the amount and form match your physician's certification.
• Hours: An MMTC may not dispense from its stores between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m., but may deliver around the clock.
• Local rules: A county or city may ban dispensing facilities. If it does not, it may not cap their number or zone them more strictly than pharmacies, and a store may not sit within 500 feet of a school unless the local government approves the site at a public hearing.

To check a store or doctor, use the OMMU's MMTC list and qualified physician list. A smoke shop selling hemp products is not a treatment center and cannot fill a registry order.

Who Can Buy at a Florida Dispensary

Only qualified patients and their registered caregivers. The statute defines a qualified patient as a Florida resident whom a qualified physician has added to the registry and who holds a patient ID card. There is no adult-use market, so an adult without a card cannot buy anything at these stores.

• No reciprocity: The OMMU's FAQ says Florida does not offer reciprocity. Stores dispense only to qualified Florida patients and caregivers, so an out-of-state medical card will not work.
• Residents: Adults prove residency with a valid Florida driver license or ID card.
• Seasonal residents: Under section 381.986(5)(b), a seasonal resident lives in Florida at least 31 consecutive days each calendar year, keeps a temporary residence here, returns home at least once a year, and is registered to vote or pays income tax in another state. Instead of a Florida license, they give two proofs of a Florida address, such as a deed or lease, a recent utility bill, or bank or government mail no more than 2 months old.
• Minors: A patient under 18 needs a second physician to concur and may not buy; the store dispenses only to the caregiver.
• Caregivers: Must be 21 or older and a Florida resident, complete a state course and pass a background screening unless a close relative. A caregiver usually serves one patient and may not be paid beyond expenses.

How to Get a Florida Medical Marijuana Card

The OMMU's patient page lists four steps:

1. See a qualified physician. The doctor needs an active Florida MD or DO license and a 2-hour course and exam on the law. The first certification requires an in-person exam; renewals may be done by telehealth.
2. Get entered in the registry. The physician enters your certification, including the amounts and forms allowed. The statute's qualifying conditions are cancer, epilepsy, glaucoma, HIV, AIDS, PTSD, ALS, Crohn's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, conditions of the same kind or class, a terminal condition diagnosed by a second physician, and chronic nonmalignant pain.
3. Apply for your ID card. The application costs $75, plus $2.75 when paying online.
4. Fill your order at an MMTC. On October 23, 2026 the OMMU reported 5 business days to process a complete application and 5 more to print the card. Your approval email lets you fill an order while the card is in the mail.

Cards must be renewed every year, starting 45 days before expiry. Your physician must see you at least once every 30 weeks before a new certification, and a pregnant patient may be certified only for low-THC cannabis. The OMMU counted 943,271 patients with an active ID card on October 23, 2026.

Florida Medical Marijuana Purchase and Possession Limits

• 70-day supply: A store may not dispense more than a 70-day supply in any 70-day period. The OMMU sets the daily dose amounts behind it.
• Smokable flower: No more than one 35-day supply in any 35-day period, capped at 2.5 ounces unless the OMMU approves an exception.
• Possession: No more than a 70-day supply, or 4 ounces of smokable marijuana, unless an exception is approved, all in original packaging.
• Edibles: No more than 200 mg of THC per edible and 10 mg per serving.
• Accessories: MMTCs sell only marijuana and the delivery devices in your certification, not pipes or papers made with tobacco or hemp. Smoking devices may be bought elsewhere.
• Carry your card: Refusing to show it to police while carrying marijuana is a second-degree misdemeanor unless the registry confirms you are authorized.

For penalties and the rest of the law, see our guide to Florida marijuana laws.

Delivery, Taxes and Prices

MMTCs may deliver to patients and caregivers, and the OMMU tells patients with no store in their city to arrange delivery. Areas and fees vary by company. Under section 212.08(2)(l), medical marijuana and delivery devices are exempt from Florida sales and use tax. Each MMTC must post on its website the price of a 30-day, 50-day and 70-day supply at a standard dose, so compare those numbers rather than shelf tags.

Growing Marijuana at Home in Florida

Not allowed, for patients or anyone else. Under section 381.986(12)(d), a patient or caregiver who cultivates marijuana violates section 893.13, and the OMMU may revoke their registration. Only licensed MMTCs may grow.

Where You Can and Cannot Use Medical Marijuana in Florida

• Not in public: Medical use does not include use on public transportation or in a public place, except non-smokable low-THC cannabis. Using other marijuana in plain view of the public is a first-degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to 1 year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
• Not in a vehicle or boat: Use in a school bus, vehicle, aircraft or motorboat is excluded, with the same low-THC exception.
• Not at school, work or in prison: Use on preschool, primary or secondary school grounds and in correctional institutions is excluded. Workplace use needs your employer's permission, smoking in an enclosed indoor workplace is never allowed, and employers need not accommodate medical use.
• Private property: The law does not stop a property owner from restricting smoking or vaping marijuana on their private property.
• Driving: Under section 316.193, it is DUI to drive under the influence of a controlled substance to the extent your normal faculties are impaired. There is no THC blood limit, and the medical program is no defense.
• Without a card: 20 grams or less of cannabis is a first-degree misdemeanor. More, or concentrate outside the program, can be a third-degree felony with up to 5 years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
• Federal land: In April 2026 the federal government moved marijuana held under a state medical license to Schedule III, but the National Park Service still bans it in national parks even with a state card. See our federal marijuana law guide and every state's cannabis laws.

Is Recreational Marijuana Legal in Florida?

No. In November 2024, Amendment 3, "Adult Personal Use of Marijuana," won 5,950,589 votes, or 55.9%, according to official Division of Elections results, but the Florida Constitution requires 60% to pass an amendment, so it failed.

No adult-use measure is on the November 2026 ballot. As of October 28, 2026, the Division of Elections' initiative database lists three legislative amendments for 2026, none about marijuana, and three "Adult Personal Use of Marijuana" petitions for 2028, from Smart & Safe Florida, Floridians for Marijuana and Let Florida Vote IV. It shows the Smart & Safe Florida petition's Supreme Court review as "Dismissed" on February 4, 2026, with 6 valid signatures of the 880,062 needed. Until voters approve a measure, Florida remains medical only.
