Florida health officials (republicans) try to stop smokable marijuana

[Lunabell]

The Florida Department of Health on Monday ordered a medical-marijuana operator to stop selling a “whole flower” product sold for use in vaporizers but which can easily be smoked, saying the product is not permitted.


Quincy-based Trulieve started selling “Entourage,” a whole flower product meant to be used in the Volcano vaporizer, last week.

The department's cease-and-desist letter to Trulieve came after The News Service of Florida reported Wednesday about the sales of the whole flower product, which can easily be smoked in pipes, bongs, or joints —- all off-limits to patients under Florida's current medical-marijuana laws.

“Licensed dispensing organizations have a responsibility to ensure their product is not one that can easily be transitioned into a smokable form. Therefore, whole flower products are not permitted,” state Office of Compassionate Use Director Christian Bax wrote to Trulieve on Monday.

1. So does this mean

that you can vape in any location where smoking is not allowed in Florida?

2. That is unclear.

What it means is that you are unable to buy bud form of medical marijuana unless it is in a prepackaged form that can only be vaped, not smoked. And I am sorry, but vaping is disgusting and you don't receive the full effects of the pot. They are making it more difficult for the consumer and usurping the will of the people.
