Recreational cannabis is illegal in Florida, and its medical use was legalized in 2016, first without its smoked form, then including it. Possession of up to 20 grams is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in prison, a fine of up to 1,000 $ and suspension of one's driver's license. Nevertheless, several cities and counties have adopted reforms to apply less severe penalties.
