Florida voters approved medical marijuana legislation by a landslide in November of last year, but since then, state lawmakers have done their best to restrict Floridians from actually smoking – by setting up a system that allows vaporizing cannabis but bans combustion. But as you probably know, there are plenty of vaporizers that use the same cannabis bud that we traditionally associate with smoking. For one Florida dispensary, that’s enough of a loophole to start selling whole-plant medicine over the counter as if the regulations were never set.
According to the Tallahassee Democrat, Trulieve, one of Florida’s seven medical marijuana providers (which operates three storefronts in Tallahassee, Tampa and Clearwater) has recently started selling canisters of cannabis flower.
“We are very clear with our patients that smoking is currently illegal, under current Florida law, however vaporizing is specifically allowed,” Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers said.
