Please note that pursuant to section 381 986(8) of the Florida <br />Statutes, the state has preempted "[a]ll matters regarding the regulation of the cultivation and processing <br />of medical cannabis or low -THC cannabis by dispensing organizations . . ." Thus, I recommend <br />excepting cultivation for such limited purposes. Please find attached draft language for an ordinance <br />concerning Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers As section 381.986, Florida Statutes, addresses low - <br />THC and medical cannabis, I recommend that any potential regulations concerning such uses be <br />addressed under a separate discussion item. <br />F Wllorne-ODOun-A9etno to Stan holing - Medreal Maryuunu Treatment Centet.doc <br />Attachment 2 <br />18 <br />
