Pursuant to the law passed earlier this year which implemented Amendment Two (medical marijuana), Florida was required to issue additional licenses for medical marijuana treatment centers (the entities that grow, distribute and sell medical marijuana) to bring the number of licenses up to ten by October 3, 2017.

Florida has missed this deadline due to Hurricane Irma (which caused extensive damage and power outages in South Florida and the Keys) and because of litigation filed recently which alleged that the law was unconstitutional as to the license reserved for a black farmer.
