Florida Makes Emergency Rules on Businesses’ Medical Marijuana Applications
After nearly ten years of waiting, The Florida Department of Health has finally released its guidelines on the application process for businesses to enter the state’s medical marijuana industry.But there’s a catch. The guidelines are temporary emergency rules, not the permanent framework to use going forward.
The Department of Health, which regulates the state’s multibillion-dollar medical marijuana industry, released the two emergency rules on Monday. The rules paint the broad strokes of the application process for companies seeking a medical marijuana treatment center license. The license permits them to cultivate, process, and dispense medical marijuana. Until this point, businesses looking to enter the thriving industry had little luck.
Because of slow litigation and red tape on the part of the state, just 22 companies are currently licensed to operate in Florida’s medical marijuana industry, and only 19 have set up a store. Of course we have one in Lake Worth Beach.
The second newly published rule makes it even more expensive for marijuana businesses to renew their licenses every two years, raising the cost from about $60,000 to more than $1 million.

Well, at least we got rid of Nikki Fried. I guess the many many men sitting in their mother's basements are very disappointed in this new rule.
I can't believe this is important to so many people. Why pretend this is medical marijuana. This is just a ruse to supply the already demoralized population with another excuse not to lead productive lives.
There really are no words I can use to express my disgust with this population.
