Orchid Grower Loses Yearslong Medical Marijuana Fight
Louis Del Favero Orchids Inc. had asked the appeals court to nix eight licenses, arguing, among other things, that the settlement was unfair and contrary to public policy because it "contravenes the legislative intent" of a 2017 law aimed at implementing a constitutional amendment that broadly legalizes medical marijuana in Florida.
