Agritek Holdings, Inc. Announces Florida Governor Rick Scott Signs
Medical Marijuana Bill
Company States the So-Called "Charlotte's Web" Law Will Benefit
an Estimated 125,000 Children in Florida Who Suffer From Severe
Epilepsy
LOS ANGELES,
CA--(Marketwired - June 17, 2014) - Agritek
Holdings, Inc.
(OTCQB: AGTK) (http://www.Agritekholdings.com), a
fully reporting company on the OTCQB and leader in Compassionate
Care Technology and indoor/outdoor agricultural solutions for the
medicinal marijuana industry, today announced Governor Rick Scott
signed a bill on Monday that legalizes the use of a non-euphoric
strain of marijuana to treat conditions such as epilepsy, Lou
Gehrig's disease and cancer. The Senate Bill 1030 which approves
the medication, and SB 1700, which protects the identities of the
patients who use it, will now start the process and clear the way
for the first qualifying patients to enter the program once
established by the state.
"As a father and grandfather, you never want to see kids
suffer," Scott said in a statement. "The approval of Charlotte's
Web will ensure that children in Florida who suffer from seizures
and other debilitating illnesses will have the medication needed to
improve their quality of life."
The Charlotte's Web bill legalizes strains of marijuana that are
high in cannabidiol, or CBD, but low in tetrahydrocannabinol (THC),
the compound that produces a high. An estimated 125,000 children in
Florida suffer from severe epilepsy and their families lobbied hard
to persuade reluctant legislators to open the door to limited use.
It also could be used by adults. Authorized patients will be
allowed access to the drug through oil or vapor form, but it may
not be smoked. Florida physicians who have been authorized to order
this strain of medical marijuana can start writing prescriptions
Jan. 1, 2015.
If 60 percent of Florida voters on November 2, 2014, approve
Amendment 2, it would allow doctors to prescribe other forms of
marijuana, including the kind that is smoked, to treat an even
wider range of conditions.
"We at Agritek Holdings have already taken preliminary steps in
the hope of becoming an active participant and partner to the great
state of Florida as the newly passed medical cannabis legislation
begins to go into effect. Our Agricultural nursery and land
previously showcased on a CBS news special report highlighting the
medical marijuana industry in Florida is an ideal location with
unlimited non-federal water sources, infrastructure and electricity
that could act as an intermediate testing ground for licensed
candidates. Our resources and experience with the specialized
strain now approved in Florida through our Colorado operations
is second to none. We have also begun negotiations to manage and
operate a large GMP facility which would act as an ideal indoor
testing and agricultural facility meeting all the quality standards
necessary to separate and control the harvest to ensure security,
control and consistency of medicine separating the specialized
strain from other agricultural crops using pesticides. With our
home base in Florida, and qualifying property for a proposed
licensee, we intend on being a recognized source of leadership and
guidance for this ground breaking legislation" stated B. Michael
Friedman, CEO of Agritek Holdings Inc.
