"In order to prove the charge possession of THC, the State is required to prove that the THC came from synthetic sources and was not derived from plant sources," an assistant state attorney in the county told The National Desk.
"No labs in the State of Florida perform such tests, so we remanded it to county court as Possession of Cannabis."
