Florida Nursing Home Prohibits Patient From Using Medical Marijuana
ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. -A senior citizen was approved for medical marijuana but the facility she lives in is refusing to allow her to use it.
The controversy could affect residents of long-term care facilities throughout Florida.
“You should see the condition she’s in. It’s horrible,” said Bert Greene, describing his mother Charlotte Simpson. “She’s got uncontrollably shaking, excruciating pain.”
Simpson is confined to a wheelchair and suffers Parkinson’s Disease, arthritis and other ailments.
“She’s tried everything that there is to try,” Greene said.
Simpson resides at Zephyrhills Health and Rehab Center, which is operated by Adventist Health System…the same company that owns Florida Hospital.
Greene said after medical marijuana became legal in Florida, a doctor prescribed it for his mother and she applied for a compassionate use permit.
“When she was finally approved, and the medicine was delivered, they gave it to me and told me I had to take it home with me,” Greene said.
