What is the legal quantity of Marijuana that I can carry?
⬥ If you are carrying up to 20 grams of marijuana, and 
you do not have a medical marijuana recommendation, 
you may be in jail for one year and have to pay a fine of 
$1,000. Also, Florida marijuana laws state that if you 
have more than 20 grams of marijuana, you may get 
five years in jail and face a hefty fine of $5,000. 
However, some counties in Florida have decriminalized 
the possession of 20 grams or less of marijuana. This 
decriminalization law was passed in 2016.

Can I buy recreational marijuana with a medical card?
Even if you are in the Medical Marijuana 
Use Registry, the Florida laws state that 
it is still illegal to purchase, own, or use 
recreational marijuana. All medical 
marijuana must be bought from a licensed 
dispensary. The law also prohibits anyone 
in Florida from having marijuana flowers or 
buds; the only exception is if it is in a 
tamper-proof container and you have 
bought it from a dispensary for medicinal 
use only.

What are the laws about marijuana usage?
⬥ There are multiple laws that govern the usage of marijuana in Florida, that need to 
be followed at all times. The law covers where you can consume Marijuana, areas 
which are prohibited, taking the marijuana to other states, and sharing your 
marijuana. When it comes to sharing your medication, the law says that it is illegal 
to share your marijuana with someone else, even if they are registered in the 
Medical Marijuana Use Registry.
If a patient has medication with high levels of THC, the Florida 
Medical Marijuana Card Sarasota prohibit you from taking the medication in 
public or on public transportation. However, the patient is still allowed to carry it in 
public, just not allowed to use it. It is permitted by the law to medicate with low-
THC medicine in public. The rule also states that you cannot medicate at your place 
of employment unless authorized by your employer.

What are the laws about marijuana and traveling?
There are strict laws for carrying and using marijuana during 
travel in Florida. It is prohibited to medicate with high-THC 
while traveling by plane, boat, or any other form of 
transportation. However, you can take a low dose of THC in 
certain situations.
Florida’s Medical Marijuana Laws state that it is illegal for any 
patient to take their medicine out of Florida, even if that state 
has legalized medical marijuana. Your medication should not 
cross state lines. However, these laws are liable to change as 
many states have become more familiar and comfortable with 
medical marijuana. Also, if you are stopped by law 
enforcement and are being asked for an identification card, 
you must provide your Medical Marijuana Use Registry 
card. Therefore, it is advised to carry your card with you at all 
times.
