As noted in my prior post, when the Florida Legislature finally passed laws to implement Amendment 2 (medical marijuana) it did not include smoking as a permissible use for medical marijuana.

And, as expected, litigation has been filed to allow medical marijuana to be smoked. The Florida law does permit vaping of medical marijuana.  Florida legislators have defended their position by noting that Amendment 2 did not specifically identify smoking of medical marijuana and instead made clear that smoking medical marijuana was not permitted in public spaces.
