Medical Marijuana

What Does Medical Marijuana in Florida Mean for Entrepreneurs?
The answer to that question is hard to answer at this moment. There is less than one month to go before a historic vote is made in Florida to allow patients to use medical marijuana in Florida. One thing entrepreneurs need to know is that even if medical marijuana becomes legal in Florida, it still against Federal Law to cultivate, distribute, or possess marijuana.
Many people have questions about the language of the amendment. If you have not read the Amendment yet, read it here.  I have had several people ask me about what they can do to get into the medical marijuana business if Amendment Two passes on November 4, 2014. There are some things that can be done now to prepare for Amendment Two to pass, but if anyone tells you they can guaranty you to get a license, grow medical marijuana, or sell medical marijuana, my suggestion would be to run. The first thing is to decide the best business organization to for you and to register with the State of Florida. The next thing is to makes sure people are aware that medical marijuana is on the ballot and vote on November 4, 2014.
At the Reissman Law Group, we have organized several businesses with the Secretary of State in anticipation of medical marijuana becoming legal in November. The Florida Department of Health has six months to promulgate the rules regarding medical marijuana. After the rules are promulgated, then we will know exactly what the rules are and what it will take for entrepreneurs to get into the medical marijuana business in Florida.
