Join us in July as Dave Trekker will walk us through “Marijuana in Florida.”
Marijuana and its sister cannabinoid hemp are sweeping across the country like a tidal wave. Already medical pot is being sold in dozens of dispensaries in Florida, six in Lee County, and legislative and court battles will determine how wide the distribution will be. Florida med pot regulations are among the most liberal in the country.
Then there are hemp extracts containing CBD, non-psychedelic, reputed to cure almost everything and already widely available in stores throughout Collier County. Tallahassee is playing catch-up on regulations.
And weed for recreational use is not far behind. Florida is the third largest market, with sales projected in the billions – a huge business waiting to happen. Approval in 2020 is likely, a certainty by 2022.
Are there medical benefits? Political implications? Safety issues? Money to be made?
It’s one of the most fascinating and potentially important issues of our time.
