One of the state’s largest cultivators and distributors of medical marijuana is pushing the Florida Department of Health to set rules that would allow thousands of cannabis patients to eat their medicine.
Surterra Wellness announced Monday that its Florida affiliate has filed a petition with the state to open up the market to edible products, such as chocolates and cookies. A bill passed this summer requires that the Department of Health create rules for what kind of shape, form and ingredients will be legal before any of its cultivators can produce and distribute edibles.

“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,” Surterra said in a Monday press release. “This petition is intended to jump start that process.”
