Florida Department of Health v. Florigrown, LLC
The Florida Supreme Court quashed the First DCA's decision partially upholding a temporary injunction barring enforcement of statutory provisions governing medical marijuana treatment center licensing. The Court held Florigrown failed to show a substantial likelihood of success on any constitutional claim: the vertical-integration requirement and license caps in section 381.986(8) do not conflict with article X, section 29, and the challenged licensure provisions are part of a general statewide regulatory scheme, not special laws granting privileges to private corporations.
