On Tuesday, the Collier County Board of Commissioners decided against the measure by a vote of three to two. “For now, it’s been fairly evident that dispensaries aren’t coming,” William McDaniel said, a commissioner in Collier County representing District 5. “The state has tied our hands,” Penny Taylor said, a commissioner in Collier County representing District 4. “We cannot decide where we’re going to put these dispensaries.” Taylor voted the dispensaries down as she said, it is an issue of local control. “At this point, if the laws not changed no there’s no chance,” Taylor said. McDaniel voted in support of the dispensaries. But he said, putting the choice in the Board of Commissioners hands, actually makes the measure more difficult to implement. “I think the legislature put me in a comprising position,” McDaniel said. “I choose to uphold the constitution of the United States and the state of Florida.” “A little defeated,” Nick Garulay, founder and CEO of My Florida Green, said about the commissioner decision. “A little disappointed.. but life goes on, onward and upward.” Garulay leads a medical marijuana advocacy group. It helps patients obtain certification for medical marijuana. He said, they will keep on fighting. “We’re going to facilitate orders for patients,” Garulay said. “The state does allow delivery for the patient. They can pick it up anywhere, which gives it a little bit of a loop hole.” But commissioners said, it is up to the state. “What is next,” Taylor said, “we’ll stay tuned to the state of Florida.”
