State to double number of medical marijuana licenses - Jacksonville Business Journal

Feb 6, 2023

The Florida Department of Health in December set up the process to apply for new licenses, with applications accepted in “batching cycles.” Also, a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow recreational use of marijuana has intensified excitement about the licensing process. The proposed amendment, backed by Trulieve, the state’s largest medical-marijuana operator, could go on the 2024 ballot.

But the DeSantis’ administration left the application process in limbo after the governor took office in 2019. “If you can make it in Florida until rec hits, then you will have a significant advantage in what will be one of the largest cannabis economies not just in the U.S. but in the world,” Green, who is based in Miami, told the News Service.

Good for the state. What I do not understand is why making people rich is more important than all the people we still throw in jail, because they don't have a med license. It's recreational in Washington DC. A street dealer loses everything, if caught, while the store only wins.
