TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Limits on the amount of THC in medical marijuana would be imposed under a bill approved by its first House committee Tuesday morning.
The bill aims to prevent medical marijuana from being treated as a recreational drug, but opponents argue there’s no justification for the measure.
State Rep. Spencer Roach likens what he’s seeing now in the state’s medical marijuana industry to the practices that preceded the opioid crisis.
“You know, 15 years ago when we look at the opioid crisis, this is what we were seeing, this kind of doctor shopping, drug-seeking behavior,” said Roach.
