Legality of Medical Marijuana on a State Level Versus Federal Level
Medical marijuana laws in Florida make it illegal for anybody to possess marijuana flower or buds unless they are packed in a tamper-proof container purchased from a dispensary. It is still unlawful to buy, possess, or use recreational marijuana, even if you are on the Medical Marijuana Use Registry.
Future of Medical Marijuana on a Federal Level
Many states have made it legal to consume cannabis for medical or recreational purposes. Cannabis, on the other hand, remains a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act, making it unlawful on the federal level. The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act ("MORE Act") would do away with this, and the commercial implications must be evaluated.
