Florida Real Estate & Cannabis Regulations

Cannabis Status: Medical Only (applications opening soon)

While major pushes to legalize adult use cannabis in Florida have gained massive popular support amongst the populace, attempts to pass any legislation in the state government has been faced with massive political roadblocks. Most recently, two separate citizen-led initiatives to place cannabis legalization on the 2022 ballot have been struck down by the State Supreme Court. As of this time, recreational cannabis remains illegal in the third largest state in the country.

Florida Update 2/8/23: Limited MMTC licenses will be available with the application window open from April 24th to 28th and up to 22 licenses with an application fee cost of $146,000.

Miami Updates – We expect the medical marijuana ordinance on the agenda for the February meeting. The first step is very important. You must apply for a zone check with the city’s zoning administrator to show the proposed location is properly zoned and outside of any setback restrictions. If found to be in a compliant location, you receive a reservation letter that keeps your right to that spot for 3 months. There is a 1 mile setback between dispensaries, so this keeps anyone else from getting a reservation in a 1 mile radius for that time. This makes finding and sourcing your property extremely important!

Florida currently only allows medical patients with the following medical conditions: Cancer, Epilepsy, Glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, Crohn’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple sclerosis (MS), Medical conditions of the same kind or class as or comparable to those above, Post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD), Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a terminal condition diagnosed by a physician other than the qualified physician issuing the physician certification , chronic nonmalignant pain caused by a qualifying medical condition or that originates from a qualifying medical condition and persists beyond the usual course of that qualifying medical condition.
