Florida law at a glance

  • Florida’s medical marijuana program is administered by the Department of Health’s Office of Medical Marijuana Use (section 381.986, Florida Statutes).
  • Hemp cultivation and hemp products are regulated by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (section 581.217).
  • Federal law treats marijuana and hemp differently, which affects banking, taxes, and contracts.
