Quick answer
Marijuana in Florida: medical-only. Florida has a robust medical cannabis program (approved 2016, sales since 2017), but a 2024 ballot measure to legalize adult use fell short of the required 60% supermajority. Adult-use marijuana remains illegal. Employers may still enforce drug-free workplace policies and test employees.
