FL Nursery Files Lawsuit Against State For Ignoring Marijuana Law

A Miami-Dade nursery is suing Governor Rick Scott's administration.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday, states the Government has been slow to implement the newly approved medical marijuana law. 

Bill’s Nursery, located in Miami-Dade County, is asking a judge to order the Department of Health to hand out new licenses for treatment centers immediately. 

As of now, treatment centers are the only businesses allowed to grow, process and sell medical marijuana.

The state was required to issue 10 new licenses by October, but so far it has only approved six.

This marks the latest legal challenge against the way Florida officials and state legislators have acted since voters approved medical marijuana a year ago.
