Surterra Wellness Petitions Department of Health for Edibles Implementation

Posted on October 2, 2017

Surterra Wellness has filed a petition to initiate rulemaking to force the Department of Health to start the process that will provide access to edible marijuana products in Florida.
Florida statutes require the Department of Health to determine by rule any shapes, forms and ingredients allowed and prohibited for edible marijuana products and no licensee is able to begin processing or dispensing edibles until after the effective date of that rule. This means that no Florida patient will have access to legal marijuana edibles until the Department of Health makes these rules, and they have yet to initiate that on their own. This petition is intended to jump start that process.
“Many patients have been seeking edible products because it is the best format for them to find relief,” said Wesley Reynolds, President of Surterra Florida. “Surterra Wellness has and will continue to fight for access to medical cannabis, and this is just a continuation of that cause. The more available options for people, the more likely they will be able to use a cannabis product instead of highly addictive and easily abused opiates.”
Surterra Wellness currently offers a wide range of product options and edibles, when authorized by the Health Department, will be an additional line. Surterra currently offers statewide delivery and can be reached at (850) 391-5455 or by visiting their website.
