If you live in Florida and you’re wondering, “Is weed legal now?” — the answer is: Yes, but only for medical use. Recreational marijuana is still illegal in 2025, though efforts to legalize it are gaining momentum.
This guide will walk you through the current cannabis laws in Florida, what’s allowed (and what’s not), and how to get your medical marijuana card through OMNI Medical Services.
✅ Medical Marijuana Is Legal in Florida
Since 2017, medical cannabis has been legal in Florida for qualifying patients.
Here’s what’s required:
You must be diagnosed with a qualifying condition
You must visit a qualified medical marijuana physician
You must apply and register with the state via the Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU)
Once approved, you’ll receive a Medical Marijuana Use Registry ID Card

🔬 Who Qualifies?
To qualify, patients must have at least one of the following medical conditions, as defined in Florida Statute 381.986:
Cancer
Epilepsy
Glaucoma
HIV/AIDS
PTSD
ALS
Crohn’s Disease
Parkinson’s Disease
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Terminal condition diagnosed by a physician
Chronic nonmalignant pain
Or any “medical condition of the same kind or class as or comparable to those enumerated”
🚫 What’s Not Legal in 2025
Despite national progress, recreational marijuana remains illegal in Florida.
Here’s what you can’t do legally in 2025:
You can’t smoke weed recreationally (even if you’re over 21)
You can’t grow marijuana at home, even if you’re a medical patient
You can’t buy cannabis without a valid medical marijuana ID
Possession without a medical card may result in a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the amount.

🗳️ What About Recreational Legalization?
Florida came close in 2024 to legalizing recreational marijuana via Amendment 3, but it failed to get the required 60% voter approval. Advocates are now working toward the 2026 election cycle.
So for now — medical use only is the law.
