Routes of Administration

Florida's medical marijuana program dispenses products by route of administration, each with its own rolling supply limits. Your physician certifies which routes are appropriate for your condition, and you can only purchase products in certified routes.

Available Product Categories

Smokable Flower

Whole cannabis flower for smoking. Legalized in 2019 after a court battle, flower requires separate physician certification. Limited to 2.5 oz per 35-day period.

No THC Potency Cap

Florida does not impose a percentage-based THC potency cap. Products are available at their natural or manufactured potency levels. The state regulates through milligram tracking, not product strength.

Product Quality and Testing

All medical marijuana products in Florida must be tested by a certified laboratory under §381.988. Testing covers potency (THC/CBD content), contaminants (pesticides, heavy metals, microbial), and residual solvents. Products must display test results and tracking information on their packaging.
