Florida Agriculture Commissioner Slams New Medical Marijuana Dosage Limits
Fried was a marijuana lobbyist before becoming Florida’s agriculture commissioner
Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried (D) is urging Florida health officials to roll back an emergency rule that creates new restrictions on medical marijuana doses—a big issue for more than 700,000 patients that use medical marijuana.
“The rule change is unnecessary, its implementation poorly notified, and its impacts extremely harmful, with hundreds of thousands of patients in Florida no longer able to access their medicine in the quantities they need for effective treatment as determined by their doctors,” Fried said Thursday at a press conference at the state Capitol.
I’m calling on the FL Dept. of Health to reverse course on the harmful medical cannabis dosage restrictions they just put in place under an “emergency rule.” Cutting patients’ access to legal & lifesaving medicine by 2/3 with less than 3 days notice is unacceptable & cruel. pic.twitter.com/RNEmIJkdcn
