This bill amends section 381.986 of the Florida Statutes to expand the list of qualifying medical conditions for the medical use of marijuana. Specifically, it adds a new condition: an addiction to or dependence on an opioid drug. This inclusion aims to provide patients struggling with opioid addiction access to medical marijuana as a potential treatment option.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, allowing time for implementation and awareness among healthcare providers and patients regarding the new qualifying condition.
