Cannabis Expungement in Florida
This state does not currently offer a cannabis-specific expungement or record-clearing program.
At a Glance
Overview
Florida has a medical cannabis program but has not legalized recreational use and does not have a cannabis-specific expungement program. The state's general expungement statute (F.S. 943.0585) allows record expungement only when charges were dropped, dismissed, or when the individual received a withhold of adjudication — and only for a single offense. Individuals with cannabis convictions that resulted in adjudication of guilt generally cannot expunge their records. A 2024 recreational legalization ballot measure failed to reach the required 60% threshold, and with it any potential expungement provisions.
Application Process
Florida does not have a cannabis-specific expungement program. General expungement is limited to cases where charges were dropped or the individual received a withhold of adjudication.
