Cannabis laws in Daytona Beach follow Florida’s state law. For travelers, the jurisdiction’s law is the controlling standard—cities usually don’t define cannabis legality.
Recreational cannabis is illegal. Medical cannabis is legal for qualifying patients with a state-issued card. Possession without authorization carries legal risk, and cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law.

- Medical: Legal (with card)
- Possession: Legal only with medical card

Practical guidance
Avoid cross-border transport of cannabis products. Do not assume informal tolerance equals legality.
