Brandon has 10 dispensaries licensed by the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU), and eight of them are on a single road, Brandon Boulevard. Buying requires an active Florida Medical Marijuana Use Registry card, or registration as a patient's caregiver; there are no adult-use sales in Florida. Brandon is not a city but an unincorporated community in Hillsborough County, so county rules, not a city council, decide where stores can go.
That makes Brandon one of the simplest dispensary markets in Florida to shop. Brandon Boulevard (State Road 60) runs east from I-75 through the middle of town, and almost every store is on it, each from a different company: ten stores, ten companies, no repeats. A patient can compare Ayr, Curaleaf, Fluent, GrowHealthy, Mint, One Plant, RISE and Surterra without turning off the boulevard, and MÜV and Trulieve are just off it.

Visiting a Dispensary in Brandon: ID, Payment and Hours
You need the registry card and a photo ID; without the card, no Brandon store can sell to you, whatever your age. The store checks the registry for an active card and a current physician certification before filling the order. Payment methods vary by company, and credit cards are uncommon, so check the listing. Florida bars store sales from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Keeping Your Card Active: Renewals and Timing
Two separate clocks decide whether the registry check at the counter goes through:
- The physician's certification. Each certification covers at most three 70-day supply periods, or six 35-day periods for smokable flower. Your physician must re-evaluate you at least once every 30 weeks before issuing a new one, and renewals may be done by telehealth.
- The OMMU ID card. The card is renewed every year for $75. You can submit the renewal up to 45 days before it expires.
If either lapses, the registry check at the counter will fail.
Brandon and Florida Cannabis Laws: Purchase Limits, Public Use and Driving
A store may dispense up to a 70-day supply in 70 days and up to 2.5 ounces of smokable flower in 35 days. Patients may not possess more than a 70-day supply at once. Using medical marijuana in public, in a vehicle or at work without the employer's permission is outside the law's protection. Driving impaired on SR 60 or I-75 is DUI, card or no card. See our Florida marijuana laws guide.
Cannabis Taxes in Brandon
None. Florida exempts medical marijuana and delivery devices from sales and use tax. With ten companies on one road, comparing is easy: each must post its products and the price of a 30, 50 and 70-day supply on its website. See our 2026 cannabis prices by state.
