Florida Weed Report: Q3 2025

James Bean, Man on the Scene here!
This month, we’re hearing from my guy “Joe Bro.” He’s a bro, you know … bro. Straight talk, no fluff. These are the unfiltered takes from folks with their boots on the ground, telling it how it is.

So let’s hear from Joe, bro.

Market Snapshot

Brooooo, the medical program is so whack, it’s like vertical integration on steroids, man. Trulieve basically owns everything—they’re like the Walmart of weed but more corporate, if that’s even possible? Everyone’s still waiting for recreational to pass, but the legislature keeps killing it like they’re afraid of fun or something. Black market’s thriving harder than mold in August humidity, which is saying something, dude. Prices at the dispos are insane—like $60 eighths for mids, I can’t even …

Terp Lanes Trending

• Fruity tropical vibes: Makes sense, bro, we’re literally tropical, mango and citrus terps forever.
• Straight Gas: Florida Man energy requires Florida Gas, the stinkier the better.
• Cake everything: Wedding Cake crosses are like mosquitoes here, unavoidable.

Price Bands (Observational)

• Value: Ground flower $25/7g—It’s like shake, but they call it ground. It’s a total ripoff, but people buy it.
• Mid: $35–$45/eighth—This is where most stuff lands, still overpriced for what you get, honestly.
• Top-shelf: $50–65/eighth—Bro, at these prices, I could fly to Colorado and back.

City Taste Map

• Miami: They want that Instagram weed—pretty nugs, exotic names, rapper endorsements.
• Tampa: Blue-collar stoners wanting bang for buck, they’re buying bulk everything.
• Orlando: Theme park employees need that heavy indica to forget their day; knockout strains rule.

Forward Look

1. Rec votes are probably coming again in 2026. Maybe this time, boomers will chill and let us live.
2. More multi-state operators are coming to monopolize. Cookies and Jungle Boys are just the beginning, dude.
3. Home growing is still illegal, which is bogus, but watch the guerrilla grows in the Everglades expand. Nature finds a way, bro.
