INCC will not grow pot in Florida.

"the bill requires that only those growers who have been in business continuously for 30 years and have inventories of 400,000 or more plants would qualify to compete for the five regional permits. That means only 21 of the hundreds of nurseries in Florida meet those strict requirements, according to the Florida Department of Agriculture.
Growers must work closely with the University of Florida’s agriculture school, obtain a $5 million bond, have the ability to sustain operations for at least two years, conduct employee background checks, prove they can run a secure operation and be able to distribute the product. The dispensing operation must hire a medical doctor to supervise the sale to patients and all employees must be screened."

“It would not be an inexpensive proposition,’’ Bolusky said. “Clearly the Legislature didn’t want everybody jumping in. They want to be able to monitor, regulate and enforce those business operations.”
