126 which shall be maintained in the patient’s medical record. The
127 patient, or the patient’s parent or legal guardian if the
128 patient is a minor, must sign the informed consent acknowledging
129 that the qualified physician has sufficiently explained its

153 use registry may be used for research purposes.
154
155 For a patient not diagnosed with a terminal condition, if the
156 patient is younger than 18 years of age and the certifying
157 physician intends to certify the patient’s medical use of
158 marijuana by way of smoking, the certifying physician must
159 determine that smoking is the most effective means of
160 administering medical marijuana for the patient and a second
161 physician must concur with that determination. The second
162 physician must be a pediatrician. Such determination and
163 concurrence must be documented in the patient’s medical record.
164 (8) MEDICAL MARIJUANA TREATMENT CENTERS.—

168 not contract for services directly related to the cultivation,
169 processing, and dispensing of marijuana or marijuana delivery
170 devices, except that a medical marijuana treatment center
171 licensed pursuant to subparagraph (a)1. may contract with a
172 single entity for the cultivation, processing, transporting, and
173 dispensing of marijuana and marijuana delivery devices. A
174 licensed medical marijuana treatment center must, at all times,
175 maintain compliance with the criteria demonstrated and
176 representations made in the initial application and the criteria
177 established in this subsection. Upon request, the department may
178 grant a medical marijuana treatment center a variance from the
179 representations made in the initial application. Consideration
180 of such a request shall be based upon the individual facts and
181 circumstances surrounding the request. A variance may not be
182 granted unless the requesting medical marijuana treatment center
183 can demonstrate to the department that it has a proposed
184 alternative to the specific representation made in its
185 application which fulfills the same or a similar purpose as the
186 specific representation in a way that the department can
187 reasonably determine will not be a lower standard than the
188 specific representation in the application. A variance may not
189 be granted from the requirements in subparagraph 2. and
190 subparagraphs (b)1. and 2.
191 1. A licensed medical marijuana treatment center may
192 transfer ownership to an individual or entity who meets the
193 requirements of this section. A publicly traded corporation or
194 publicly traded company that meets the requirements of this
195 section is not precluded from ownership of a medical marijuana
196 treatment center. To accommodate a change in ownership:
197 a. The licensed medical marijuana treatment center shall
198 notify the department in writing at least 60 days before the

205 department shall examine the application and, within 30 days
206 after receipt, notify the applicant in writing of any apparent
207 errors or omissions and request any additional information
208 required.
209 d. Requested information omitted from an application for
210 licensure must be filed with the department within 21 days after
211 the department’s request for omitted information or the

214
215 Within 30 days after the receipt of a complete application, the
216 department shall approve or deny the application.
217 2. A medical marijuana treatment center, and any individual
218 or entity who directly or indirectly owns, controls, or holds
219 with power to vote 5 percent or more of the voting shares of a
220 medical marijuana treatment center, may not acquire direct or
221 indirect ownership or control of any voting shares or other form
222 of ownership of any other medical marijuana treatment center.
223 3. A medical marijuana treatment center may not enter into
224 any form of profit-sharing arrangement with the property owner

236 center:
237 a. May use pesticides determined by the department, after
238 consultation with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer
239 Services, to be safely applied to plants intended for human
240 consumption, but may not use pesticides designated as

242 b. Must grow marijuana within an enclosed structure and in
243 a room separate from any other plant.
244 c. Must inspect seeds and growing plants for plant pests

249 remove and destroy infested or infected plants, in accordance
250 with chapter 581 and any rules adopted thereunder.
251 7. Each medical marijuana treatment center must produce and
252 make available for purchase at least one low-THC cannabis
253 product.
254 8. A medical marijuana treatment center that produces
255 edibles must hold a permit to operate as a food establishment
256 pursuant to chapter 500, the Florida Food Safety Act, and must
257 comply with all the requirements for food establishments
258 pursuant to chapter 500 and any rules adopted thereunder.
259 Edibles may not contain more than 200 milligrams of
260 tetrahydrocannabinol, and a single serving portion of an edible

262 may have a potency variance of no greater than 15 percent.
263 Edibles may not be attractive to children; be manufactured in
264 the shape of humans, cartoons, or animals; be manufactured in a
265 form that bears any reasonable resemblance to products available
266 for consumption as commercially available candy; or contain any
267 color additives. To discourage consumption of edibles by
268 children, the department shall determine by rule any shapes,
269 forms, and ingredients allowed and prohibited for edibles.
270 Medical marijuana treatment centers may not begin processing or
271 dispensing edibles until after the effective date of the rule.
272 The department shall also adopt sanitation rules providing the
273 standards and requirements for the storage, display, or
274 dispensing of edibles.
275 9. Within 12 months after licensure, a medical marijuana
276 treatment center must demonstrate to the department that all of
277 its processing facilities have passed a Food Safety Good
278 Manufacturing Practices, such as Global Food Safety Initiative
279 or equivalent, inspection by a nationally accredited certifying
280 body. A medical marijuana treatment center must immediately stop
281 processing at any facility which fails to pass this inspection
282 until it demonstrates to the department that such facility has
283 met this requirement.
284 10. When processing marijuana, a medical marijuana
285 treatment center must:
286 a. Process the marijuana within an enclosed structure and
287 in a room separate from other plants or products.
288 b. Comply with department rules when processing marijuana
289 with hydrocarbon solvents or other solvents or gases exhibiting
290 potential toxicity to humans. The department shall determine by
291 rule the requirements for medical marijuana treatment centers to
292 use such solvents or gases exhibiting potential toxicity to
293 humans.
294 c. Comply with federal and state laws and regulations and
295 department rules for solid and liquid wastes. The department
296 shall determine by rule procedures for the storage, handling,
297 transportation, management, and disposal of solid and liquid
298 waste generated during marijuana production and processing. The
299 Department of Environmental Protection shall assist the
300 department in developing such rules.
301 d. Test the processed marijuana using a medical marijuana
302 testing laboratory before it is dispensed. Results must be
303 verified and signed by two medical marijuana treatment center
304 employees. Before dispensing, the medical marijuana treatment
305 center must determine that the test results indicate that low
306 THC cannabis meets the definition of low-THC cannabis, the
307 concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol meets the potency
308 requirements of this section, the labeling of the concentration
309 of tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol is accurate, and all
310 marijuana is safe for human consumption and free from
311 contaminants that are unsafe for human consumption. The
312 department shall determine by rule which contaminants must be
313 tested for and the maximum levels of each contaminant which are
314 safe for human consumption. The Department of Agriculture and
315 Consumer Services shall assist the department in developing the
316 testing requirements for contaminants that are unsafe for human
317 consumption in edibles. The department shall also determine by
318 rule the procedures for the treatment of marijuana that fails to
319 meet the testing requirements of this section, s. 381.988, or
320 department rule. The department may select a random sample from
321 edibles available for purchase in a dispensing facility which
322 shall be tested by the department to determine that the edible
323 meets the potency requirements of this section, is safe for
324 human consumption, and the labeling of the tetrahydrocannabinol
325 and cannabidiol concentration is accurate. A medical marijuana
326 treatment center may not require payment from the department for
327 the sample. A medical marijuana treatment center must recall
328 edibles, including all edibles made from the same batch of
329 marijuana, which fail to meet the potency requirements of this
330 section, which are unsafe for human consumption, or for which
331 the labeling of the tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol
332 concentration is inaccurate. The medical marijuana treatment
333 center must retain records of all testing and samples of each
334 homogenous batch of marijuana for at least 9 months. The medical
335 marijuana treatment center must contract with a marijuana
336 testing laboratory to perform audits on the medical marijuana
337 treatment center’s standard operating procedures, testing
338 records, and samples and provide the results to the department
339 to confirm that the marijuana or low-THC cannabis meets the
340 requirements of this section and that the marijuana or low-THC
341 cannabis is safe for human consumption. A medical marijuana
342 treatment center shall reserve two processed samples from each
343 batch and retain such samples for at least 9 months for the
344 purpose of such audits. A medical marijuana treatment center may
345 use a laboratory that has not been certified by the department
346 under s. 381.988 until such time as at least one laboratory
347 holds the required certification, but in no event later than
348 July 1, 2018.

390 center’s department-approved logo and the marijuana universal
391 symbol.
392 13.12. Each edible shall be individually sealed in plain,
393 opaque wrapping marked only with the marijuana universal symbol.
394 Where practical, each edible shall be marked with the marijuana
