ParticipantI believe the reclassification is for Medical Marijuana only. Here is an excerpt from our policy:
C. Members are prohibited from using marijuana, including medical marijuana. Possession of a prescription and valid Medical Marijuana card do NOT create an exception to this prohibition.
1. Members who are prescribed FDA approved medication derived from marijuana, including but not limited to Marinol (dronabinol) or Cesamet (nabilone), will notify Human Resources of the prescription in writing, including the expected duration of medication use. Human Resources will maintain the written notification in the member’s personnel file. Members are encouraged to bring the written notification in person.
2. Federal Law and Florida Statutes differentiate between marijuana and hemp; hemp products containing less than 0.3% delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are legal under both Federal and Florida Law. The Sheriff’s Office does not prohibit supplements or over the counter medications derived from hemp, including but not limited to, Cannabidiol (CBD) oil and Cannabigerol (CBG) oil.
a. It is each member’s responsibility to ensure any hemp derived product they are using is from a legitimate source that is compliant with Federal and Florida Law and contains less than 0.3% delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
b. Members using hemp derived supplements or hemp derived over-the-counter medication will notify Human Resources of this information in writing. Members are encouraged to deliver the written notification in person. Human Resources will maintain this notification in the member’s personnel file.Jeannine Harris
