{{Out-of-date|section|date=March 2023}}
In 2018, Redner made headlines again when he sued the [[Florida Department of Health]] for the right to grow his own marijuana. Redner is in remission from [[lung cancer]], and his doctor recommended [[hemp juice]] as part of his treatment. Florida passed medical marijuana via a [[Florida Amendment 2 (2016)|constitutional amendment]] in 2016, but juicing is not one the methods approved by that law, so Redner sued to be able to grow and juice his own. On April 17, 2018, the judge in the case lifted a stay which will allow Redner to begin growing marijuana while the case proceeds, a decision the Department of Health said it plans to appeal.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://floridapolitics.com/archives/261479-judge-lifts-stay-in-joe-redner-home-grow-m|title = Judge lifts stay in Joe Redner 'home grow' marijuana case|date = 17 April 2018}}</ref> Upon appeal, Redner lost the case in April, 2019. The Florida 1st District Court of Appeal found "that ‘use’ does not mean ‘grow’ or ‘process,’ as Mr. Redner argues,” the court said.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://health.wusf.usf.edu/health-news-florida/2019-05-29/court-again-rejects-joe-redners-pot-arguments|title = Court Again Rejects Joe Redner's Pot Arguments|date = 19 May 2019}}</ref>
