If Amendment 2 passes, the FL Dept of Health is charged with creating qualifying patient registration, qualifying physician registration, qualifying patient caregiver registration, procedures for the registration of Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers. There will be five regional Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers located around the state - Southeast, Southwest, Central, Northeast, and Northwest. To qualify for a MMTC the entity must be a Florida nursery business operating for a minimum of 30 years. They must post a $5 million bond and a $150,000 application fee. The five centers will only be allowed to grow low-THC Cannabis (<0.8%) with CBD <10% .

There are no provisions for "caregivers as growers". Caregivers can only assist in the delivery and administration of the low-THC Cannabis.
The Amendment 2 is written very narrowly to include the production use of ONLY lowTHC Cannabis by 5 long time large Florida based nurseries. Sorry to all of my fellow Floridians if you believe this is a door opening to allow personal medical grows. I'm voting YES on 2 but only to benefit those sick folks who may benefit from this restricted setup.
