Florida Could Have Another Medical Pot Distributor

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — An administrative ruling has paved the way for at least one more medical marijuana distributing organization in Florida.

Division of Administrative Hearings Judge John Van Landingham ruled on Tuesday that Plants of Ruskin and Tornello Landscape/3 Boys Farm are equally qualified to receive licenses, but if the state's Department of Health would approve only one, then it should go to Tornello/3 Boys.

Department of Health spokesman Brad Dalton said they are reviewing the order and in the process of determining their next steps.

There are currently seven distributing organizations.

This was the last of the administrative challenges since the five original licenses were decided in December of 2015.

Two additional were awarded last year due to either settlements or an administrative ruling.
