Cannabis Status: Medical Only (applications opening soon)
Currently, Florida restricts cannabis usage to medical purposes only, but the landscape may soon change dramatically. A recent Florida State Supreme Court decision has cleared the way for a pivotal amendment—Amendment 3—to be presented to voters on the November ballot. This decision allows Floridians to voice their opinion on whether to extend cannabis legality to include adult recreational use.
If Amendment 3 secures at least 60% of the vote, it will drastically alter the cannabis environment within the state. This initiative would grant adults aged 21 and older the right to purchase and possess up to 3 ounces of cannabis and 5 grams of concentrates for personal use, exclusively from existing medical dispensaries. Beyond just expanding operations at these centers, Amendment 3 would also open legislative doors to potentially allow new players in the burgeoning adult-use market, enhancing competition and diversity within the industry.
Set to take effect six months after approval, this measure marks a critical shift in Florida’s cannabis policy, positioning the state at the forefront of a new era in cannabis regulation and offering a model that could influence broader national trends in cannabis legalization.

In November, voters in the state will have the opportunity to vote to legalize adult-use cannabis in the state and open Florida up to new cannabis opportunities.
