Most people remember that Sterling Crockett moved to Florida to obtain a marijuana grow license after the facility in Pennsylvania was up and running. However, Florida has some unique laws and regulations that make obtaining a marijuana grow license difficult and cumbersome.
In Florida, a medical marijuana grower can only have 6 flowering or 12 vegetative plants in accordance with state laws, and one may be arrested if anyone is found to possess even a single plant over this limit. So one might ask how can anyone can grow enough marijuana to make a grow license profitable.
One way a grower can legally plant more marijuana is by forming a non-profit cannabis collective which enable one to grow more cannabis under the collective’s umbrella of medical patients. In return, the grower simply pays a monetary donation every month to the collective which allows them to offer affordable services to low-income clients. This “work around” is legal in Florida since the plant limit for collectives is per member rather than per grower. Hence, an approved collective grower may own vegetative plants for each collective member and this allows the grower to have more plants. This may sound strange, but that is the way Florida marijuana laws are written.
If you think the regulation above is strange, then you may find this next regulation is even stranger. Under Florida law, applicants must have been in business for at least 30 years and grow a minimum of 400,000 plants at the time they apply for their Florida marijuana grow license. So you probably are saying that obtaining a license to grow marijuana in Florida is impossible, right. Well, marijuana entrepreneurs’ found a “work around” for this law too.
If one looks at those who qualified for a Florida marijuana grow license, you see only those who were operating an existing nursery were able to qualify. Thus, an entrepreneur coming into Florida with the intent of growing marijuana first needed to partner with or buy into an existing nursery. This law makes it difficult to determine who owns what, and that is one reason we see a business application for Sativeo in Florida, but no grow license registered under the Sativeo name. In other words, one must be very good at “slight-of-hand” to navigate the many strange laws from state to state. Also, these laws change often, and what might be illegal today could very well be legal tomorrow.
So Sativeo could in fact be bigger than we know, but finding the documentation to prove it might be next to impossible.
