A longtime Jacksonville nursery has received approval for a coveted medical-marijuana license, as state health officials continue carrying out a new law that resolved key issues about the rapidly emerging cannabis industry.

Loop's Nursery & Greenhouses Inc. and the Florida Department of Health have reached a settlement to end a legal dispute about the license, according to documents posted last week on the state Division of Administrative Hearings website. The settlement brings to 12 the number of firms approved to grow, process and dispense medical marijuana.

The Department of Health also gave approvals to Arcadia-based Sun Bulb Company and GST Enterprises, which owns Eustis-based Treadwell Nursery.
