Clearing the Air- Florida Condensed Cannabis 
For those of you in the dark about Florida’s Medical Marijuana Program, I will be lighting up the dim corners of Florida: The Nation’s Fastest-Growing Medical Marijuana Market, according to The Miami New Times on May 2, 2019.
CANNABIS PRIMER

Americans for Safe Access.org
Luckily for me, Florida passed constitutional Amendment 2 in November 2016 which allows Multiple Sclerosis, along with many other chronic and debilitating qualifying conditions as eligible for compassionate care, meaning diagnosed patients would be allowed by Florida to receive a medical marijuana recommendation from a qualified Florida physician and products from a licensed Florida dispensary; these dispensaries must strictly adhere to Florida’s seed-to-shelf vertical integration business model.
I am a legal Florida medical marijuana patient since January 2017, as well as a traveling medical cannabis writer, patient educator and vocal advocate. Since then, my quality of life has increased dramatically, both mentally and physically. Even my doctors and specialists are amazed at my progress!
As such, I am representative of the face of medical marijuana in Florida, one of 311,266 qualified active patients with ID cards as of February 7, 2020. Did I mention that we only have 2,607 of those “Florida qualified physicians” for ALL of us?
STATE OF FLORIDA
If Florida plans to increase its medical marijuana program through new legislative policies and marijuana dispensary standardized procedures, how exactly do we attempt to accomplish this?
In May 2019, Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Nikki Fried announced that a newly-created and appointed Medical Marijuana Advisory Committee of 18 doctors, lawyers, patients, industry leaders, and advocates will be implemented in order to “advance and modernize policies” to move Florida into the future of medical marijuana
Florida plans to help close the existing gaps and get patients and the state across the existing, prohibitive Drug War bridges, with  Florida’s appointment of a 2019 inaugural group:
18 Member Medical Marijuana Advisory who will collaborate with the Florida Department of Agriculture to help improve the state’s medical marijuana regulations and policies through membership by the following individuals and is part of the Cannabis Division at the Department of Agriculture:
[ 1. Kim Rivers; 2.Barry Gordon, MD; 3. David Kotler; 4. Dr. Michelle Weiner; 5. Zachary Kobrin; 6. Dan Russell; 7. Dr. David B. Corn; 8. Cameron Vance, Ph.D.; 9. Sally Kent Peebles; 10. Jacel Delgadillo; 11. Eric Stevens; 12. Mike Smuts; 13. Ron Watson; 14. Antoinette Duncan; 15. Peter Barsoom; 16. Paul Messer; 17. Karen Seeb Goldstein; 18. Elaine Geller ]
Florida’s Cannabis >Medical Marijuana Division in the Department of Agriculture. The Committee will convene telephonically and in-person bimonthly to develop ways and methods to expand patient access and affordability, increase innovation and technology within the cannabis industry, and to make recommendations to the Legislature and the Department of Health’s Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU)
Who will organize and oversee this committee, you ask?
Florida Director of Cannabis: Meet Florida’s New Director of Cannabis Holly Bell via her resumé and listen to her May 2019 “Mother of Marijuana” interview.
Who will this committee make recommendations to other than the Florida State Legislature? Who else is listening intently?
Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use, or OMMU,  provides Weekly Updates every Friday. This Office is part of Florida’s Department of Health.
Who will appoint, amend, manage and provide oversight to this Advisory Committee, the Director of Cannabis, and to the Office of Medical Marijuana Use? 
Florida Department of Agriculture: Meet Florida’s Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services: Nicole “Nikki” Fried.
For interested parties currently residing outside the state of Florida, a comprehensive overview:
Who’s Who in Florida Government published by Spectrum News Staff and updated on Feb. 28, 2019 gives valuable background on the State of Florida in its Latest from Tallahassee, the state Capitol.
PHYSICIANS
On the Medical Marijuana/ Cannabis state lead:
Florida Department of Health and its Office of Medical Marijuana Use. In addition, the DOH works directly in conjunction with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services in Florida’s volatile cannabis arena. 
What specific curriculum and medical material is taught in their Florida CME training and certification journey?
What medical marijuana delivery routes and associated products are accessible by Florida patients? 
The medical cannabis training these specialized CME physicians receive from the state is readily accessible for the public, including all Florida state medical cannabis certification physician qualifications and official answers:
OMMU PHYSICIANS Certification Course
OMMU PHYSICIANS Certification Course Textbook
OMMU PHYSICIANS FAQ
CANNAHEALTH PHYSICIANS CERTIFICATION 
Upon successful completion of the Florida physican CME training, a physician proceeds to immediately update this new medical specialization information with the Florida Division of Medical Quality Assurance
Patients in need of Florida’s rapidly advancing legal cannabis medication can then search the state’s CME physician database, call for information, and ultimately schedule an initial cannabis patient qualification appointment at a particular practice, or MMTC of their choice. 
During this required update timeframe, physicians often pause briefly to deliberate the choice: what are the implications of being an integral part of Florida’s burgeoning therapeutic cannabis medicine practice?
Membership in the widespread MMTC FL state system offers the most clinical practice hours, and a physician begins seeing possible medical marijuana patients immediately. 
Physicians can easily update their designated specialized certification at www.FLHealthSource.gov. Physicians can directly email questions to [email protected].
DISPENSARIES 
Dispensaries serve as The Crusaders who are literally growing medical marijuana in the state, while figuratively growing the state’s fledgling program simply through their participation.
What exactly has transpired concerning Florida state regulations as they directly pertain to local dispensaries, their employees, and dispensary ancillary agents? It all hinges solely on a vertical integration business model, which includes licensed cannabis businesses in Florida.
These state-licensed cannabis companies are called “dispensaries.” The Florida Department of Health regulates medical marijuana in Florida and is the agency that issues all required licenses. Visit the Florida Department of Health for further information.
Florida Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Info List
Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in Florida
These licensed dispensaries must be complete seed-to-sale companies who also provide healthcare to qualified medical cannabis patients by dispensing a patient’s desired product, in the desired delivery route.
These vital, end-line dispensary employees help fit desired cannabis medication products into a patient’s individual money framework.
That is, these licensed companies eventually dispense a patient’s doctor-issued recommendation by first planting and cultivating medical cannabis before processing and packaging it.
Simultaneously, Florida dispensaries must strive to train efficient, knowledgeable store employees, called “Wellness Coordinators” or “budtenders.”
These necessary individuals present the finished state-certified cannabis product on the dispensary’s shelves in an appealing manner. These end-line employees smartly and safely sell, or “dispense,” the cannabis product to the patient and consumer per the physician’s recommendation in the Registry.  
All of our state MMTC FL licensed clinics and dispensaries incorporate the lofty goals of both patient and product availability (access) and affordability (cost).
The Medics, or cannabis physicians, prescribe the patient’s recommendation for medical cannabis products that can be purchased by the patient (1) in various delivery routes (oral, inhalation, tinctures, oils, topicals, smokable), and (2) in various strains depending on the particular dispensary business.
The patient can fill their physician-recommended medical marijuana order at any, or all, of the Florida dispensaries listed below, using any desired personal combination of delivery routes and cannabis products. 
Patients are not limited to specific product choices or strains when given their medical marijuana order by the physician. Patients cannot be required to purchase from a specific dispensary.
Although their personal CME physician can make recommendations on product choices or dispensaries that would be best for the patients qualifying condition and associated symptoms, patients are not required to purchase specific cannabis products. 
Both the medical marijuana dispensary and cannabis products purchased are at the sole discretion of the individual patient.
Licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers that are authorized to dispense medical marijuana products in a form for smoking or other delivery route to qualified patients include these fourteen companies called dispensaries:
Trulieve
Curaleaf
Liberty Health Sciences
VidaCann
MüV ( formerlyAltMed)
GrowHealthy
Rise Dispensaries (GTI)
One Plant (formerly 3 Boys)
Surterra Wellness (Parallel)
Fluent (formerly Knox Medical)
Harvest
MedMen
The Botanist
Columbia Care Florida
What’s the actual story behind Florida’s current vertical integration model, recently ruled “unconstitutional”?
There are fourteen current licensed participants as noted above, which begs the question of how can Florida’s vertical integration model requirement for state licensure be so problematic? Let’s highlight the Florida Medical Marijuana timeline between 2016 and 2019, leading up to the future case hearing and ultimate decision, and attempt to decipher what all this fuss is about.  
Way back in the beginning in 2016, Florida had only six dispensing businesses licensed by the state’s Department of Health to grow, process, and distribute marijuana rather than the currently existing fourteen dispensary businesses.
Trulieve was the first dispensary to be issued a license by the state as noted in this July 20, 2016 article: Florida’s First Medical Marijuana Dispensary Ready To Hit Market. Trulieve is my favorite dispensary, hanfs down. They have a wide variety of quality cannabis at fair prices, knowledgeable employees, mellow environment, and treat patients in a respectful and professional manner.
On April 15, 2019, Florida released updated Information on How to Get Medical Marijuana Treatment Center License, or MMTC license, in the state to open a clinic or dispensary. 
In addition, ModernCanna Labs MMTC Application Process offers step-by-step one pagers, along with several vital guides for use in Florida:
What does it mean to be a vertically-integrated Florida dispensary of medical cannabis products?
How can a Florida dispensary license be obtained?

Know the Current Laws and Regulations in Florida courtesy of the Marijuana Policy Project
Dispensary Permits: Open a Dispensary in Florida
Dispensary Permits – Florida Medical Marijuana Licenses
Foley LLP – Medical Marijuana Licensure, June 22, 2017 Update
Whether or not these common goals of access and affordability are always achievable for MMTC physician clinics and their dispensary counterparts remains undecided; but cannabis is quite the budding industry here in Florida. 
PATIENTS 
Now that we know who these state medical marijuana physicians are, let’s examine the patients being treated.
What exactly are the qualifications to become a Florida medical marijuana patient? On the popular MarijuanaDoctors.com, all qualifying conditions in Florida are noted.
Dedicated availability through the official OMMU patient/physician site, and the Florida MMTC maintains an accurate, updated list of eligible qualifying conditions at all times. 
Listed for quick reference, patients in Florida diagnosed with one of the following Top 10 qualifying “debilitating medical conditions” have legal protection under Amendment 2, overwhelmingly passed in 2016:
AIDS (Positive Status)
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Cancer
Crohn’s Disease
Epilepsy
Glaucoma
HIV (Positive Status)
Multiple sclerosis (MS)
Parkinson’s disease
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
–Terminal Condition that is diagnosed by a physician other than the qualified physician issuing the physician certification
–Chronic Pain (Nonmalignant) caused by a qualifying medical condition or that originates from a qualifying medical condition and persists beyond the usual course of that qualifying medical condition
–Medical conditions of the same kind or class as or comparable to those above.
Florida’s medical marijuana program has evolved leaps and bounds beyond the confines of the state’s original, yet restrictive, 2016 “Compassionate Use” law.
While the words seem to be clear enough on paper in the 2016 Florida State Law, the interpretation and implementation of this law is the inseparable key to the proverbial Pandora’s lock. Indeed, the lock on the state’s cannabis safe is nearly unbreakable. Why? Because this invaluable safe contains Florida’s medical marijuana legal framework.  
Concerning the current state program’s legal details, Marijuana Doctors correctly advises that Florida’s cannabis patients must be at least 18 years of age and a Florida Resident, or a seasonal resident with a valid Florida driver’s license or Florida identification card. 
Patients must obtain legitimate medical records or documentation from a primary care physician describing their diagnosis, and subsequently bring these records to a marijuana evaluation appointment with a CME licensed physician. Seen different doctors for a qualifying condition? No problem! Here’s how to easily request your medical records.
The qualifying patient must be diagnosed through a full in-person physical examination and assessment of medical history before receiving a recommendation by your selected certified physician for having one of the debilitating medical condition diagnoses listed above.
All patients must be entered into the Florida Medical Marijuana Use Registry by the physician who evaluated them.
Patients (and Caregivers) must also apply for their Registry Identification Card (Medical Marijuana Card) only if they need to purchase or carry a patient’s medical marijuana products on their person.
Need help? A designated caregiver can be added to your patient profile after proper documentation is submitted to the state. But an OMMU Registry ID card is not required in order to simply accompany a patient to purchase cannabis products inside a physical dispensary location
In such a case,the patient’s caregiver or other accompanying adult needs only to have a valid Florida identification card or driver’s license to temporarily relinquish to dispensary staff for the duration of the patient’s visit. Patients and caregivers can submit an application online or by mail.
Once the application has been approved, a temporary Identification Card will be emailed to the patient immediately. Qualified Florida patients will then be mailed a physical Identification card required by law to be kept on their person at all times.
Patients can then fill their order at a licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Center of Florida dispensary location using their ID card as required identification for purchase of various cannabis products.
Patients have to be re-certified every 30 weeks in order to receive a new medical marijuana recommendation. To maintain a valid Medical Marijuana Registry Identification Card, Patients & Caregivers must renew their Identification Card annually. 
Renewals must be submitted at least forty-five (45) days prior to the present card expiration date; a complete renewal application, $75 and required documentation must be submitted to the state.
The Florida Department of Health, Office of Medical Marijuana Use can be accessed manually at 1-800-808-9580, online at Florida Department of Health’s Office Of Medical Marijuana Use, or email at [email protected].
On November 21, 2017, Jerry Ianelli brought the breaking story that a Miami Nursery Sues to Demand Florida Allow More Medical Pot Farms
Wednesday, January 2, 2019, caused quite a commotion when it was officially announced that Florida Medical Marijuana System Is Now In Court
On January 10, 2019, Eric Sandy reported on the Latest Court Ruling in Florida Reiterates Unconstitutionality of Medical Marijuana Law.
RESOURCES
Even with recent dual drives for Florida adult recreational use and the impending court decision on the constitutionality of our Florida vertical integration cannabis program model, Medical Marijuana remains in the foreground and legal users now have representation, lobbyists and passionate advocates infiltrated throughout local, state and national government.  
Most locales throughout Florida have embraced this full-spectrum cannabis economy, along with the accompanying exceptional physician minds introduced to each state region with marijuana expansion, especially considering these vital facts:
Cannabis in Florida: A Year In Review and Forecast for 2020
How Much Cannabis Each State Sold in First Month of Legal Sales
700 Medical Cannabis Studies Sorted By Disease
Marijuana Statistics 2019, Usage, Trends and Data)
And finally, according to Marijuana Momentum, January saw another major marijuana score with Federal Marijuana Reform Getting Another Congressional Hearing.
The current cherry on top of our messy U.S. cannabis sundae? According to this Ocala Star Banner Editorial, the overall message has shifted on medical marijuana. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Using Marijuana to Get High Dates Back Millennia
A repeated warning about cannabis use in the post-hippie era is to be aware that what you’re smoking or ingesting isn’t your grandparents’ cannabis. Humans have worked hard in recent decades to produce strains with powerful doses of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the psychoactive component of the plant. The result is a surprisingly intense high that famously sent New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd into a spiral of paranoia after she ingested a cannabis-laced chocolate edible one fateful evening in Colorado.
A superstrong strain of pot might overpower unwitting baby boomers, but all of this might just be a case of déjà vu. Today’s herb could be somewhat like cannabis that people cultivated about 2,500 years ago in Central Asia, a plant also bearing high levels of THC.  Research published June 12 in Science Advances offers the first evidence that humans around that time not only used cannabis for the high it offers but also selected strains for their THC-packed psychoactive power, burning them in mortuary rituals. The find represents some of the oldest documented use of cannabis for its mind-altering effects. “I am impressed by this new and important discovery,” says Tengwen Long, an assistant professor and environmental archaeologist at the University of Nottingham, Nimbo campus, who was not involved in the study. “It offers us very important data concerning humans’ close interaction with the plant.”
This earliest example of humans burning cannabis in a purposeful way was uncovered as researchers worked on solving the mystery of ancient wooden burners found at a cemetery site in the Pamir mountain range in eastern China. The burners, dating to about 500 years B.C., were charred. Samples of the char revealed compounds that develop when people living in the region burned cannabis.  Furthermore, the estimated levels of THC in these samples were higher than wild cannabis would normally produce, suggesting intentional cultivation of the plant for its psychoactive powers.
Such a discovery adds to growing indications of an association among many cultures of cannabis with the afterworld and death, says Mark Merlin, professor of botany at the University of Hawaii, who was not involved in conducting this study. Cannabis was probably used for “medicinal and spiritual reasons,” he says, “which are not really separated by most traditional societies.”
Although the work shows the earliest chemical evidence of cannabis smoking, says study author Yimin Yang, professor of archaeometry at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the Pamirs are where the practice first gathered steam. Yang’s co-author Robert Spengler, laboratory director at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, agrees. Despite a cluster of archaeological finds from the Pamirs and other ancient cultures in the mountain foothill areas of Asia, Spengler urges researchers to continue the quest for earlier examples of cannabis use elsewhere.
More cases may inevitably turn up, says Barney Warf, professor of geography at the University of Kansas, who was not involved in the work. Warf called the most recent finding a “very reasonable and thorough study [that] makes a useful contribution documenting early psychoactive cannabis use. But I would not be surprised if future efforts uncover even earlier cases.”
Other regions where evidence of ancient cannabis use has emerged include the lands of the ancient Scythians in Siberia and similarly old sites in China, where hints of recreational use have been discovered, says study author Hongen Jiang, professor of archaeobotany at the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Merlin points to the discovery in Japan of seeds that are about 10,000 years old. “This was a key plant in Eurasia,” he says.
A practice involving cannabis and death rites that may have disseminated far and wide along trade routes such as the Silk Road could have met its end with the rise of monotheism, Merlin says. “The spread of the major monotheistic religions pretty much wiped out shamanism, but there are vestiges,” he notes.
This sense of an ancient diversity of human ritualistic use lends context to the attention cannabis receives in contemporary headlines, says Spengler. “It is important to continually illustrate that the human interaction with this plant goes deeper back in time,” he says.
In the meantime, Long sees the findings reported in this study as “unambiguous” in confirming early use of cannabis deliberately as a psychoactive substance. Merlin agrees that all signs point to intentional use of the plant for this purpose, but it’s also possible that ancient people burned it to mask the smell of death and decay associated with mortuary rites, he says.
Still, Merlin doesn’t think that’s really the case, because of the link of cannabis to the burials of shamans, suggesting shamans might continue their practices in the afterlife. Merlin himself has seen a another example of ancient cannabis use, although without confirmation of burning. “It was almost two pounds of cannabis next to a shaman’s head, practically still green,” he says, expressing awe of the find in tombs in Turpan, northwest China. “I observed this 2,500-year-old shaman, and he had mortar that had been caked in cannabis with him. That was a remarkable find.”
