  1. Seems the Florida Department of Health targeted and tried to entrap Dr Dorn. And they BLEW IT, BIG TIME! Their investigators, apparently not only lied, but “grossly exceeded their authority and violated state and federal law along the way”! So now, he's suing! :yay: I wish Dr Dorn all the luck in the world with his case!

    TALLAHASSEE — A medical-marijuana doctor cleared of wrongdoing after an undercover probe is seeking unspecified damages from the Florida Department of Health and two investigators who posed as patients.

    A lawsuit filed this week is the latest twist in a years-long legal battle between physician Joseph Dorn and state health officials, who sought to strip him of his medical license, permanently ban him from ordering medical marijuana and impose a $10,000 fine.

    Dorn’s lawsuit stems from a 2019 complaint alleging that the physician violated state law by failing to conduct physical examinations of “Patient O.G.” and “Patient B.D.,” two undercover agents who work for the state health department.

    Dr. Joseph Dorn of Tallahassee filed a lawsuit against the Florida Department of Health and two investigators who posed as patients in an undercover probe. Dorn was cleared of all wrongdoing.
    The Florida Board of Medicine in December unanimously decided that Dorn — who has practiced in Florida for more than three decades — didn’t do anything wrong when he ordered medical marijuana for the agents who told the doctor they had medical conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder. An administrative law judge also twice cleared Dorn of wrongdoing.

    “Despite substantial testimony in the proceedings before the Florida Board of Medicine, no evidence whatsoever was found which would support a finding of probable cause for an action to revoke Dr. Dom's medical license,” said the eight-page lawsuit filed Tuesday in Leon County circuit court.(snipped)

    I was pleasantly surprised when the headline referred to Dr Dorn as a "Pot Doctor" and not a "Pot Doc"! I would have said "Cannabis Specialist", but I'll take the progress!

    (And before you ask, yes, I am the "Storm" in the comments. SOMEBODY has to educate the "Yahooligans" about cannabis! ;))
