More older people are using cannabis products regularly, but research suggests their cannabis-related health problems are also on the rise.

Sanctuary Cannabis' failed challenge centered on a new state Department of Health formula that dramatically increased costs for marijuana companies.

The revamped proposal from the Smart & Safe Florida committee seeks to address issues raised by Gov. Ron DeSantis, who led a drive to defeat last year’s constitutional measure.

State regulators didn’t do anything wrong when they rejected Green Thumb Industries' requests to open dispensaries near or adjacent to convenience stores, an administrative law judge ruled.

The health department sent "letters of intent" to the group, but the move sets up what could be lengthy litigation from applicants that missed out on a rare chance to join the state's medical pot industry.

The ballot measure's defeat could strengthen the industry as it struggles to compete with hemp-based products sold at gas stations, CBD shops and online at a fraction of the cost.

The cannabis company's latest $1.5 million contribution to Smart & Safe Florida provided the political committee a total of $152.27 million in cash and $959,000 in in-kind contributions.

The Florida chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics cites an increase in cases of emergency care among children since medical marijuana was approved in the state in 2016.

In the past, Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers has tempered her public criticism of Gov. Ron DeSantis and his administration, which regulates her business. But she called DeSantis' critiques on Amendment 3 “hogwash.”

As the campaign to get recreational marijuana in the state constitution goes into its final days, the cannabis company has funded more than $143 million of Smart & Safe Florida's war chest.
