Students and University Employees

Students and professionals from across the state come to Gainesville’s universities. The University of Florida and Santa Fe College educate thousands of young adults every year. If you study or work at one of these institutions, read their drug rules carefully.

We recommend doing your research and contacting your school before using or owning marijuana on campus. According to Santa Fe College’s student conduct code, taking an unprescribed drug counts as misconduct. While the University of Florida forbids federally illegal substances for staff, the rules get unclear when it comes to students.

Coming From Out of State?

Anyone without an official Florida residency should remember:

• You may not own or use marijuana for medical or recreational purposes. If you have a patient card from your home state, Florida will not recognize it as valid. The only way to legally obtain cannabis medicine is with a Florida medical card.
• If you consider Florida your home during certain parts of the year, you must have your primary residence in the state. Otherwise, you do not count as a state resident eligible for medical marijuana.
