Florida Licensed Dispensaries: The 49 MMTCs on the OMMU License List

Florida Licensed Dispensaries at a Glance

Florida licenses one kind of business to grow and sell its medical cannabis, and it is not called a dispensary. The Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU), a division of the Florida Department of Health, licenses and regulates every Medical Marijuana Treatment Center (MMTC) under section 381.986, Florida Statutes. OMMU states the consequence for patients on its license page: "Medical marijuana may only be purchased from licensed MMTCs."

There is no separate dispensary license underneath that. The MMTC is the license, and OMMU describes MMTCs as "vertically integrated," meaning the same licensee cultivates, processes and dispenses. OMMU grants that authority in stages rather than all at once: "Each MMTC must receive authorization at three stages, (1) cultivation authorization, (2) processing authorization, and (3) dispensing authorization, prior to dispensing low-THC cannabis or medical marijuana." Holding an MMTC license and holding dispensing authorization are therefore two different things.

The OMMU MMTC license list carries 49 licensees as of October 15, 2026. 25 hold Dispensing Authorization and 24 hold Initial Licensure only. 25 plus 24 is 49. Only the 25 holding Dispensing Authorization may sell to patients. The list grew from 27 to 49 when the Department of Health licensed 22 new MMTCs on September 11, 2026. None of those 22 can sell yet.

Which Florida MMTCs can dispense today?

All 25 licensees holding Dispensing Authorization, in the order OMMU lists them, each with the license number OMMU publishes for it. The third column is how many approved dispensing locations that licensee reported in OMMU's most recent weekly update, which is a different document with a different date.

Each linked website is the one OMMU lists for that licensee on its license list. The license number remains the authoritative identifier, and the website is a convenience. Miracle Leaf® is not affiliated with any licensee here and receives nothing for these links.

OMMU renders the Sunnyside licensee name with a trailing asterisk and does not say why on either document.

The 25 licensees reported 782 approved dispensing locations statewide for the week of October 2 to 8, 2026. Trulieve reported 170. The five largest, Trulieve, MÜV, Curaleaf, Ayr Cannabis Dispensary and Surterra Wellness, reported 444 between them, approximately 57 percent of the state total. Fino Cannabis and Wildflower Cannabis reported one location each, and Bloom Dispensary and Revolution Florida reported none. 23 of the 25 operated at least one approved location. Dispensing Authorization permits a licensee to sell. It does not indicate that a storefront operates near a given patient.

Which licensees cannot dispense yet?

24 of the 49 licensees hold Initial Licensure. Initial Licensure is the license without the dispensing authorization that follows it. 22 of the 24 were licensed on September 11, 2026 and carry MMTC-2026 license numbers. The Department of Health received their applications in April 2023. The other two hold earlier licenses. Where a licensee trades under a different name, OMMU's trade name comes first and the company name follows in parentheses.

None of the 24 carries a dispensing-location count in OMMU's weekly update. All 24 are listed there as not applicable, with zero milligrams of THC and zero ounces dispensed for the week of October 2 to 8, 2026. A patient cannot buy from any of them, and none operates a storefront to visit. Each holds a current license, which does not at present permit dispensing. Before any of them can sell, OMMU must grant cultivation, processing and dispensing authorization in turn.

25 licensees may dispense and 24 may not, for a total of 49.

What does vertically integrated mean for patients?

OMMU's own word for an MMTC is "vertically integrated." One licensee cultivates, processes and dispenses under a single license instead of buying finished product from someone else. That structure is why the state grants authority in three separate steps. A license number alone does not indicate whether a licensee may currently dispense.

OMMU's 49 licensees fall into three groups.

• 23 hold Dispensing Authorization and reported at least one open dispensing location in the week of October 2 to 8, 2026. These are the brands a patient can actually buy from.
• 2 hold Dispensing Authorization and reported zero locations that week: Bloom Dispensary and Revolution Florida. Cleared to sell, with nowhere yet to do it.
• 24 hold Initial Licensure and cannot dispense at all, including the 22 licensed on September 11, 2026.

23 plus 2 plus 24 is 49. A licensee in the middle group holds full dispensing authorization but operates no approved location.

Why are brands listed instead of storefronts?

The storefront count changes every week. The license list changes only when the Department of Health takes a licensing action.

OMMU publishes an update every week, and each one names the dispensing locations the department approved during the previous week. The October 2, 2026 update named one: Curaleaf Florida, LLC in Wellington. The October 9 update named none. The statewide total stood at 782 approved dispensing locations for the week of October 2 to 8, 2026, and a published list of 782 addresses would go out of date as soon as OMMU approved the next one.

Authorization attaches to the licensee, not to the building. A brand's Dispensing Authorization does not change when it opens a store or closes one. The brand and its license number are therefore the stable identifiers; an address is not.

For the location nearest you, use the state's own tool. The MMTC dispensing location search sits on the same page as the license list, so a patient can confirm that a brand is licensed and find its closest store without leaving the OMMU site.

Do you need a card before you can buy in Florida?

Yes. You need an active Florida medical marijuana card before any dispensary can sell to you. No dispensary can make an exception, because the rule sits on its license rather than on staff discretion.

Book your Florida evaluation and a Miracle Leaf® physician can enter you into the state registry at that visit. See pricing for what it costs.

Three steps, in this order:

1. See a qualified physician. They evaluate you for a qualifying condition and enter you into the Medical Marijuana Use Registry.
2. Apply for your state ID card. The Florida Department of Health issues it.
3. Buy from a licensed MMTC. Staff check your registry entry and your card at the counter, every time.

A caregiver buying for a patient goes through the same check.

You may not have to wait for the plastic card to arrive. OMMU reports 5 business days to process a complete application and 5 more for card printing, and says: "Once an application is approved, patients instantly receive an approval email which can be used to fill an order at an approved MMTC while the physical card is printed and mailed."

942,370 Florida patients held an active card as of the October 9, 2026 update.

Step by step: the Florida medical marijuana card page covers the application, Florida card renewal covers the renewal cycle, and Florida qualifying conditions covers who is eligible. The card requirement, the physician qualifications and the dispensary's duty to verify are all set by section 381.986, Florida Statutes.

How does this relate to Miracle Leaf® Florida clinics?

Miracle Leaf® is a Florida medical marijuana certification clinic, not a Medical Marijuana Treatment Center, and holds none of the 49 licenses above. The two roles are separate businesses under section 381.986 and they run in sequence. A Miracle Leaf® physician evaluates a prospective patient for a qualifying condition and enters them into the Medical Marijuana Use Registry. The patient applies for the state ID card. The patient then buys from an MMTC.

The clinic half of that sequence is where Miracle Leaf operates, across 31 Florida locations. The clinic directory lists every one with its address and phone number, and the Florida program details hub covers how the state program works end to end.

No Miracle Leaf clinic stocks, sells or dispenses any cannabis product, and none can hand a patient anything an MMTC sells. Call (833) LEGAL-MJ to ask about an evaluation, and see pricing for what a certification visit costs.

This page is informational and is not legal or medical advice. Florida's license list changes when the Department of Health takes a licensing action, such as the 22 licenses that took effect on September 11, 2026. The dispensing-location footprint changes far more often than that. Check the OMMU MMTC license list for the current licensees and authorization statuses, and the OMMU weekly update for current location counts, before relying on any row above. OMMU is the only authority that can confirm a Florida MMTC license. Purchasing requires an active Medical Marijuana Use Registry Identification Card issued by the Florida Department of Health.
