2018 County budget process.

Item 8

Update on Medical Marijuana. This is a brief presentation and update on Medical
Marijuana, as well as seeking direction from the Board of County Commissioners on
four (4) possible options. St. Johns County currently has a moratorium in place on
Dispensaries until March 31, 2018. This Moratorium does not affect the ability of a
licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Center to locate and establish a cultivation
facility (cannabis farm), to process Medical Marijuana for consumption in St. Johns
County, or to provide at-home delivery to qualified patients residing in St. Johns
County. Although there is current state litigation and pending bills, upon review
none of the proposed changes or the proposed litigation regarding whether smoking
constitutes a Medical Use will impact the current limitations and pre-emptions
allowed to the County regarding zoning, permitting, and development standards.
Due to the way Section 381.986 is worded, Local Governments have a choice of
either banning Dispensing Facilities from the area of jurisdiction or allow them in the
same manner as Pharmacies. None of the currently filed bills as of the date of this
Agenda item affect the current pre-emption or ability to regulate Dispensaries as
provided in June of 2017.
