Florida Bill to Allow Medical Marijuana Home Cultivation

Florida Sen. Carlos Smith (D) introduced a new bill for the 2026 session that would legalize home cultivation of marijuana for registered medical cannabis patients in the state.

This latest measure would permit qualified patients who are at least 21 years old to cultivate up to six flowering plants for personal, therapeutic use, according to Marijuana Moment. Those patients could also buy seeds and clones from licensed dispensaries.

“A qualified patient who cultivates cannabis shall ensure that the plants are secured in a manner to prevent access by unauthorized persons,” the bill text says. “The sale of patient-cultivated cannabis plants and products and cultivation of cannabis by patients beyond the limits specified in this section is subject to the penalties outlined” under existing law.

If enacted into law, the bill would become law on July 1, 2026.
