Your County Commission at work...... The amendment hasn't even passed with the voters yet, and they are mulling over heading any new law off at the pass here in Escambia County.

This is medical marijuana...not recreational. A year to work things out? How about starting to work NOW? Jerks.

You guys over there in Escambia need to vote them all out. I figured this would be coming from the panhandle counties.

Funny thing though Orlando a month or so ago adopted decriminalization but also recently voted to place a moratorium on legal medical.

If you read the arrests daily the majority are for marijuana, some days harder stuff. So the county sees the money they may lose on senseless arrests.

Now Markle can get his stuff:

Trulieve, one of the six Florida medical cannabis licensees, has announced that they are the first dispensary in the State of Florida to receive a formal Authorization to Process and Authorization to Dispense from the Florida Department of Health on Wednesday.

“We are happy to announce that we have passed all inspections — from growing and processing to dispensing — and are the very first medical cannabis provider in the state to receive these formal authorizations. And we are most excited to get this much anticipated medicine to the patients of Florida,” said Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers. “The Department of Health staff and leadership have been consummate professionals throughout this entire process. They have been accessible and knowledgeable all along the way, and we simply could not ask for better public servants.”

The dispensary also announced its intention to begin sales at its Tallahassee facility within the coming days. It will be the first dispensary to open its doors in the state and will begin statewide delivery almost immediately.

The formal Authorization to Dispense dated July 20th, 2016 states:

[George Hackney, Inc. d/b/a Trulieve] is authorized to begin dispensing low-THC cannabis and medical cannabis at its dispensing facility located at 800 Capital Cir SE, Tallahassee, FL 32301.

Trulieve will have the much anticipated Low-THC Cannabis available — for statewide delivery — immediately and will have high-THC Medical Cannabis (also known as “Right to Try”) products available in early August.

Patients who wish obtain an order for the Low-THC Cannabis or higher THC Medical Cannabis products may do so by contacting their physician who can issue an order for these products in accordance with Florida law.

For more details on how patients may avail themselves of either types of medical cannabis, please visit www.Trulieve.com


Will open next week.

They want to watch Tallahassee to see the abuse. In my opinion a college town bad place to open first one.
