IndustryDevelopments | International & State Florida The state Supreme Court on May 27 left Florida's medical marijuana licensing system intact, deciding that a constitutional challenge to vertical integration and license caps isn't likely to succeed on its merits and handing a defeat to small businesses hoping to break into the market. The 6-1 decision means that state regulators of Florida's $1 billion medical marijuana industry won't be required to develop a new licensing structure that includes stand-alone licenses and opportunities for smaller companies and entrepreneurs. The current industry is dominated by a small group of vertically integrated multistate operators. Idaho Only days after the Idaho Legislature shot down an anti-marijuana legalization measure, Gov. Brad Little signed a measure that foes say will make it extremely difficult to get initiatives and referendums to voters via the ballot. The governor told legislators he sided with people in the state who believe urban voters have too much say in the initiative process. It is unclear how the law will impact a medical marijuana initiative that backers are trying to get on the Idaho ballot in November 2022. The new law is expected to be challenged in state and federal courts.
