1 Medical Cannabis Ordinances Tuesday, December 20, 2016
2
3 Pre Amendment 2 Law In 2014, the Florida Legislature passed, and Gov. Rick Scott signed, a bill that attempted to exempt a limited class of individuals with certain medical disorders and their legal representatives from criminal penalties for using and possessing low-thc cannabis that was ordered for the patients by their physicians. Then, in 2016, the legislature passed a bill intended to improve the law, which would also allow terminally ill patients to access all forms of medical cannabis. Because the law only applies to a very specific type of marijuana or terminally ill patients, and because the bill depends on physicians violating federal law, Medical Policy Project does not consider Florida a medical marijuana state.
4 History Pre Amendment 2 Law What type of marijuana does the law apply to? The law protects certain patients from penalties for using low-thc cannabis, which is defined as containing 0.8 percent or less of tetrahydrocannabinol and more than 10 percent of cannabidiol. The law also has a second provision for terminally ill patients, defined as those who are expected to die within one year of diagnosis without lifesustaining procedures, who may use any type of medical cannabis. Smoking medical cannabis, which does not include use of a vaporizer, is prohibited for both groups of patients. Who qualifies for this limited program? Patients with cancer or a physical medical condition that chronically produces symptoms of seizures or severe and persistent muscle spasms may qualify for the program if no satisfactory alternative treatment options exist. Patients who are terminally ill must have medical marijuana recommend by two doctors, one of whom must be a specialist, and must have considered all FDA approved treatments and given written, informed consent. A doctor must have been treating the patient for at least three months before registering the patient, which will make access very difficult for anyone moving to Florida, since there is no provision for recognizing out-of-state ID cards.
5 First Dispensary opened in Tallahassee -- July 2016 Trulieve, one of the six Florida medical cannabis licensees, 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.
6 Clearwater opened in August 2016 Truelieve hopes to open 9 more dispensaries in Florida cities over the next year, including Orlando, Bradenton, St. Petersburg, and Miami.
7 Nursery Facilities in Florida
8 The Basics of Amendment 2: Amendment 2 is a voter-initiated constitutional amendment legalizing medical marijuana possession and use. Amendment 2 establishes a caregiver-patient system for medical marijuana distribution. Caregivers must be 21 years of age, agree to assist with a patient s medical marijuana use, and receive a caregiver identification card by the Florida Department of Health (DOH). The measure establishes Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTC) that have the authority to acquire, cultivate, process, transport, and sell all marijuana products. The measure does not cap how many caregivers a patient may have or how many patients a caregiver may have. The measure does not cap or limit how much medical marijuana a patient may possess or purchase, nor does it regulate the number of MMTCs allowed to operate. There is no age limit on possession or use of medical marijuana under Amendment 2. Minors may use it with parental consent. State Regulation: Amendment 2 requires the DOH to conduct rulemaking around Amendment 2 within six (6) months of passage, which is roughly a deadline of May 9, If the DOH fails to do so, any Florida citizen has standing to sue the State of Florida to compel compliance by DOH with Amendment 2. The state s legislative session begins on March 7, The Florida Legislature will likely have to pass an implementing bill for all issues related to Amendment 2 during their 60-day annual session, ending on May 5, 2017.
9 Medical Qualifications: Amendment 2 requires a Debilitating Medical Condition in order for a patient to qualify for medical marijuana, which includes cancer, epilepsy, glaucoma, positive status for HIV/AIDS, post-traumatic stress disorder, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Crohn s disease, Parkinson s disease and multiple sclerosis. The definition also allows for other debilitating medical conditions of the same class as or comparable to those enumerated and for which a physician believes that the medical use of marijuana would likely outweigh the potential health risks for a patient. The word comparable is not defined. This is a large loophole and potential opportunity for abuse of an otherwise highly regulated system. Physicians: Florida physicians may give a written medical marijuana certification to a patient with a qualifying medical condition. Amendment 2 requires the physician to conduct a physical examination of the patient along with a full assessment of the patient s medical history prior to giving the certification. Amendment 2 does not cap how much marijuana a physician may recommend or how many certifications a physician may give a patient at one time. Additionally, HIPAA privacy regulations are triggered as a result of the physician-patient relationship, so the Florida DOH may have difficulties enforcing any limits on the amount and frequency of physician recommended medical marijuana certifications.
10 Local Government Authority: Amendment 2 is silent as to local government regulation of medical marijuana. It does not give an opt-out to local governments who do not wish to have medical marijuana sales within their jurisdictions. Public Health and Safety: Amendment 2 does not allow smoking of marijuana in public. However, the word public is not defined. Additionally, the measure is silent as to other forms of consumption beyond smoking including ingestion of edible marijuana food products, vaping, dabbing or the use of marijuana tinctures and oils. From a law enforcement perspective, the measure does not define a standard for under the influence of marijuana, so the state will have to address this issue, otherwise enforcement of DUI or DUID laws will be legally and practically very difficult. Federal Law: Regardless of the passage of Amendment 2, marijuana remains illegal under federal law.
11 Zoning Examples from Local Governments Some local governments allow the use in commercial or industrial zones with no specific regulations (Tallahassee, Clearwater, Gainesville and Bradenton) Some local governments have issued a temporary moratorium (Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Orlando) A few local governments have banned the use (Pasco County and Plant City) Many local governments have adopted ordinances that require specific regulations concerning the use (Leesburg, Altamonte Springs, Vero Beach, Dania Beach and Naples)
12 City of Ocala Options 1. Proceed with an ordinance ( ) to allow the use as a special exception in certain zoning districts (B-4 and B-5) with specific regulations 2. Adopt a temporary moratorium (Ordinance ) in order to give staff time to investigate the impacts of the proposed use (No later than September 30, 2017)
13 Proposed Definition Medical cannabis retail establishment means a dispensing organization as defined in the section , FS (2016) (the Act ) and which (1) has been approved by the Florida Department of Health to dispense low-thc cannabis (as defined in the Act) or medical cannabis (as defined in the Act) pursuant to the Act and regulations adopted pursuant to the Act, and (2) which is dispensing such low-thc cannabis or medical cannabis to a qualified patient (as defined in the Act).
