The number of registered medical marijuana patients continued to rise in Florida during fiscal year 2023, a state panel said in a new annual report—although the rate of growth slowed slightly from previous years as the system matures and attention turns to an adult-use legalization measure that may go before voters on the November ballot.

Average daily doses, meanwhile, were lower during the most recent fiscal year (FY)—which…

Picture-perfect and beautifully manicured, Huckleberry Hill Farms looks like a demonstration garden at a state fair with one major exception: Huckleberry stands as a quintessential plant exhibit for cannabis, one of Northern California’s most famed and feared agricultural crops. When I arrive at the farm about a month away from harvest in the late summer, the statuesque lavender-hued buds of Huckleberry’s signature Whitethorn Rose catch my eye slightly after the attention-grabbing bright pink and purple petunias that sit at the base of the plant’s 100-gallon planter boxes. Looking towards the beauty of the cannabis garden in flower it’s hard to…

The Florida Chamber of Commerce has released a new poll showing that a marijuana legalization initiative that may appear on the November ballot enjoys majority support from likely voters—but not quite enough to meet the state’s steep threshold for passage. The business-focused organization shared the results of the survey it commissioned on Friday. It found that 57 percent of Floridians back the cannabis proposal, meaning it falls slightly short of the 60 percent that would be required to approve the constitutional amendment. The chamber also said that the poll “finds voters less likely to support the amendment as they find…
