A new Florida regulation is sparking controversy after revoking medical marijuana cards from patients convicted of drug-related offenses. According to a recent USA Today report, more than 160 patients have already lost or are in danger of losing access to their prescribed cannabis treatments. The rule, approved under Senate Bill 2514 and signed by Governor Ron DeSantis in July, represents a major policy shift in how the state manages its medical marijuana program. Critics call the move punitive, arguing it effectively denies necessary medication to patients for unrelated criminal offenses. With nearly one million registered users in Florida, advocates warn that the impact of these restrictions could be far-reaching.
