Let\u2019s dive into this week\u2019s cannanews.<\/p>\n

Florida Judge Slams Gov. DeSantis Over MMJ License Delays<\/h2>\n

Florida\u2019s ever expanding medical cannabis program<\/a> of over 700,000 patients has hit a major roadblock. The states Department of Health (DOH)\u2014under the direction of Governor Ron DeSantis\u2014is refusing to grant additional medical marijuana treatment center (MMTC) licenses. Now, hopeful license seekers are taking to the courts to fight back against the DOH\u2019s inaction.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

For the record, the DOH\u2019s continued withholding of MMTC licenses is completely illegal. The 2017 law<\/a> which created the framework of the states medical cannabis program requires that the DOH grant new licenses to keep up with the increasing number of certified patients. So, whats the hold up?<\/p>\n

According to Gov. DeSantis, the DOH is pausing its MMTC application process until the 2017 law finishes its stint in litigation. Only one problem\u2014the 2017 law has already finished its stint in litigation<\/a> with the state’s Supreme Court\u00a0 <\/span>deciding to uphold its statutes.\u00a0
\n<\/b>
\nWith the courts precedent on their side, various applicants have sued the DOH in hopes of obtaining licenses. One of these lawsuits came from Louis Del Favero Orchids Inc. which took the DOH to Tallahassee appeals court.<\/p>\n

Though the Tallahassee court ultimately sided with the DOH\u2014they did acknowledge the DOH is not acting in good faith. Judge Ross Bilbrey suggested the DOH<\/a> \u201copen the application window\u201d warning that continued inaction will make it \u201cnecessary for a potential licensee to \u2018seek judicial relief to compel compliance with the department\u2019s constitutional duties.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you think of Florida\u2019s ongoing MMTC license legal battles? Let us know in the comments!<\/p>\n

World Anti-Doping Agency To Keep Cannabis on Banned Substance List<\/h2>\n

Last year, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) came under fire<\/a> for their suspension of U.S. sprinter Sha\u2019Carri Richardson following a positive cannabis test. Many argued that cannabis\u2019s place on the banned substances list was unwarranted considering the plant provides no performance enhancing properties. Unfortunately, it looks like criticism did not sway the WADA as the organization is expected to keep cannabis on its banned substance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the WADA revealed that it took some time to reconsider cannabis\u2019 place on the list at the request of \u201ca small number\u201d of countries anti-doping agencies. However\u2014after consulting with an expert panel\u2014the WADA decided to keep the list as is. The WADA noted that<\/a> its cannabis policies were incredibly lenient as is with minimal suspensions for violations.<\/p>\n

U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, voiced his disappointment at the WADA\u2019s decision. Tygart said he does not believe athletes should be penalized for positive cannabis test. Instead, Tygart said the WADA should follow the USADA\u2019s example and only punish athletes if the organization can prove the athlete is using cannabis to gain a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n

The WADA will to make its decision public after its executive committee meeting on September 23rd.<\/p>\n

What do you think of the WADA keeping cannabis on its banned substance list? Do you agree with Travis Tygart\u2019s advice to the organization? Let us know in the comments!<\/p>\n

Remembering Elias Theodoru: MMA Fighter and Medical Cannabis Advocate<\/h2>\n

Veriheal is saddened to report the death of MMA fighter and cannabis advocate Elias Theodoru<\/a>. The Toronto native passed away from cancer on Monday September, 11th at the age of 34.<\/p>\n

Theodoru’s accolades in the ring are only surpassed by his contributions as a cannabis advocate.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Theodoru became the first Canadian athlete to earn a cannabis exemption. Theodoru made history again in 2021 when Colorado granted him a similar medical cannabis exemption\u2014a first in the U.S.<\/p>\n

We wish nothing but the best for Theodoru\u2019s friends and family during this difficult time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
