Chronic pain is now only covered if it results from a “qualifying medical condition.” Previously, the language had been “debilitating medical condition,” which could have been a back door to allowing access to medical marijuana for people with medical conditions not covered by the constitutional amendment.

Noneuphoric forms of marijuana can now be used in public. Public use of full-strength medical marijuana remains a misdemeanor.

Pregnant patients can now get noneuphoric, low-THC marijuana. Previously, they were banned from using marijuana at all.

The exam would-be caregivers are required to take is now for informational purposes only. One can fail the exam and still become a caregiver.

The number of medical marijuana growing licenses will increase by ten before July of next year. (There are currently seven licensed growers.) Then, four new licenses will be available for every 100,000 patients.

Several requirements to be a grower, such as having a nursery with 400,000 plants, have been removed. Now, one need only be in business in Florida for five years.
