The Florida Department of Health has recently published basic rules that will enable dispensaries to start selling edible cannabis products to licensed medical marijuana patients In the state of Florida.
As with the smokable flower regulation update we will not see immediate results from this adjustment in the Office of Medical Marijuanas guidelines. These changes typically take effect only after the dispensaries create the products and have the labeling/packaging approved by the state. Each product must be individually approved by the OMMU office. Most dispensaries have been waiting for this so no doubt they are already submitting products for approval. We have seen first hand some of these companies edible kitchens and extraction centers, trust us when we say they are impressive. So undoubtedly they will be rushing to get their products approved for general sale.
Important things patients need to know:
Each patient will be required to contact their physician to have their prescription redone to include edible selection. Please be aware, an entirely new recommendation must be created which takes time when dealing with large volumes of patients.
There may or may not be a charge associated with this upgrade.
A physician may choose to either agree or disagree with this method of treatment.
Limits on edible purchases will be decided by each patients MMJ physician.
As of now (08/27/2020) no dispensary has any available edibles, they are all waiting on submission approval and in different stages of the application process. Stay tuned for updates, for the fastest updates follow us on twitter @medclubpalmbeach
