Medical Marijuana Law
The Compassionate Care Act of 2014 was the first piece of legislation to ignite Florida's Medical Marijuana Market. The Act required an applicant to have 400,000 plants and be in the nursery business for 30 continuous years.
Mr. Davis was hired to handle all aspects of the application for his client. Finding the right nursery for the client required creative action and Mr. Davis successfully enrolled a highly qualified nursery. Given the significant financial opportunity provided by the license, it was no surprise that nurseries and trade associations filed multiple Petitions in an effort to influence the rules.
Upon the advice of Mr. Davis, his client filed a petition. Much of Mr.Davis’s knowledge of Florida Marijuana Law began by attending negotiated rule-making sessions and administrative rule-making workshops. At these administrative proceedings Mr. Davis met with lobbyists, multiple nursery owners and various marijuana professionals. Mr. Davis used this knowledge to author an application geared towards the underlining concerns of the Department of Health.
Mr. Davis spent months in Colorado learning the intricacies of the marijuana business. While in Colorado, he met some of the highly regarded leaders in the marijuana industry. Mr. Davis negotiated deals, wrote million dollar contracts, assembled a winning team of various professionals and was responsible for the submission of a 700 page application.
After Amendment 2 passed in Florida, Mr. Davis was hired to represent and oversee Keith St. Germain Nursery's attempt at receiving a license. Mr. Davis met with members of the legislature and put ensured a working team for the Nursery. Mr. Davis was recently quoted in a South Florida Newspaper. Mr. Davis has the unique experience of overseeing the legislative, business and legal side of the marijuana industry and plans to use this knowledge for the benefit of future clients.
