Mendocino not so chill as you think since it is so well known for growing
You aren't really going to find a truly sunny part of the north coast so if you are considering mendo for that count that out. It's mistier than a good amount of places on the east coast. In your condition moving from FL I would concentrate on moving to a more relaxed area to grow in, and the bay area /Shasta would be good for that.
Shasta is good if you want some isolation; peace. The cops are pretty relaxed but can vary. Theres not a whole bunch to do in that area except for nature and spiritual pursuits/wholesome living what have you so the idea there is to stay very low key. I know you didn't mention the Bay area in your post but again it would be a place where you would be treated very fairly on a medical level.
