“To be clear, I tested positive for cannabis, a drug I do not abuse and a drug I have a legal prescription for in the state of Florida. … I have been prescribed cannabis for a mental health condition by my physician whom has managed my medical for 30 years. … I have no choice but to accept this suspension and move on.”
