A local pharmacist who wants to open two medical marijuana dispensaries in Brevard County plans to give county commissioners a lesson in the pot industry.
Eric Luzar, a resident of Satellite Beach, asked for a spot on Tuesday’s County Commission agenda to discuss medical marijuana dispensary zoning and regulation.
Luzar said he and pharmacists from Fort Lauderdale, Naples and St. Petersburg have formed a business venture to open medical marijuana dispensaries around the state. Locally, he said, they are considering Merritt Island and Palm Bay as possible sites.Initially, Luzar said, the state will have dispensaries tied to approval of legislation this year allowing the use of a special strain of marijuana that is supposed to eliminate or dramatically reduce life-threatening seizures in children with severe epilepsy.
