Ocala has 15 dispensaries licensed by the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU). Florida allows medical sales only, so every store here asks for an active Florida registry ID card from a patient or registered caregiver; nobody can walk in and buy with just a driver's license, and cards from other states are not honored. Its best-known store, Goldflower Cannabis on SW 19th Avenue Road, has about 2,230 Google reviews, more than any single store in Orlando or Tampa.
Ocala serves a wide area. Marion County has 25 licensed stores, 15 in Ocala and 7 in Summerfield, while neighboring Sumter County, home to much of The Villages, has none on our list. That makes the southwest Ocala stores on State Road 200 a natural stop for patients coming up from the south, and the SW College Road strip the busiest part of town, with five stores within a couple of miles.
