A Florida lawsuit challenging a federal prohibition on medical marijuana patients buying and possessing guns might have received support this week.

Justices sided with Leafly Holdings, an online site that challenged the Florida Department of Health's attempt to block medical marijuana operators from using third parties to process and dispense patient orders.

Attorney General Ashley Moody’s office says a proposed constitutional amendment “misleads” voters in a way to benefit the state’s largest medical marijuana operator.

A state appeals court upheld the firing of the former officer - who is approved to use medical marijuana to treat PTSD - pointing to a federal law and a job requirement that he be able to use guns.

The state issued licenses to Suwannee County's Terry Donnell Gwinn and Bascom-based Shedrick McGriff. They come nearly a decade after lawmakers laid out a blueprint for the industry and years of legal delays.

Physicians will still have to conduct in-person exams before approving patients for medical marijuana. But it will allow physicians to use telehealth for renew approvals.

Gov. Ron DeSantis is slated to review a bill that would give Black farmers an entry into Florida’s flourishing medical-marijuana industry.

The lawsuit filed is the latest twist in a legal battle between Dr. Joseph Dorn and state health officials, who sought to strip him of his medical license.
