FlorPass charges a transaction fee based on a percentage of sales through the system's e-commerce platform. Alternate Health anticipates strong revenues based on the growing patient base and Liberty's strong brand presence across the state.
"The Florida Department of Health's approval of FlorPass represents a turning point for accountability and compliance in medical cannabis sales throughout the state," adds Dr. Murphy.
