Bill > S0776

This bill allows qualified medical marijuana patients who are at least 21 years old to cultivate up to six flowering cannabis plants at their residence for personal, non-commercial use. Patients would be permitted to purchase medical marijuana seeds and clones from licensed medical marijuana treatment centers, but must take precautions to secure the plants and prevent unauthorized access. The bill specifies that personal consumption of home-cultivated cannabis is subject to existing medical marijuana use limitations, and any cultivation or sale beyond the specified limits would be subject to penalties under Florida's controlled substance laws. The legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and amends existing local regulation of vegetable gardens statutes by adding provisions specifically related to home marijuana cultivation for qualified patients. The bill aims to provide medical marijuana patients with a legal pathway to grow a limited number of cannabis plants for their personal medical use while maintaining restrictions to prevent misuse.
