Pot Rule in Limbo
November 17th, 2014 by Mike Vasilinda
It’s back to square one for regulators trying to set up a plan to grow and distribute low THC marijuana in Florida. An administrative judge late Friday threw out plans to select vendors by a lottery system, saying the best should get the license, not the luckiest. Jeff Sharky, founder of the Medical Marijuana Business Association of Florida says the decision will benefit patients in the long run.
“On one hand , I think the Department selected the lottery because it would make this as expedient, a,s quick as possible. The judge, obviously looking at all the facts, and listening to all the testimony, came back and said that’s not the best way to make sure patients get a quality controlled drug” says Sharky.
The Department says it is reviewing its options, which do include an appeal of the order.
