Florida’s Second Medical Marijuana Dispensary Opens

Florida’s second dispensary has opened. The dispensary, Trulieve, is located in Clearwater.

Both low- and high-THC marijuana products are offered, according to ABC Action News. The qualifying conditions list for medical marijuana is rather short in Florida, but the list could be expanded in 2017.

Kim Rivers, Trulieve CEO said, “As the first licensee to not only receive authorization to dispense but to open our doors, and make the first sale of any kind, it is also exciting to open our second dispensary so quickly. We are also delivering statewide and plan to have several more locations come online this year.”

Medical marijuana supporter, Dr. Kathy L. Anderson, said, “As a physician I feel it is my duty to ensure patients are given all the options available, so I am very pleased that medical cannabis is now an industry recognized course of treatment I can recommend for my appropriate patients.”

Patients must receive a recommendation from their doctor prior to being able to register for the Florida medical marijuana program.
