Smoking medical marijuana is now legal in Florida

It's been a long time in the making. In 2016, Floridians overwhelmingly voted in favor of a constitutional amendment to allow medical marijuana. However, in 2017 then-Gov. Rick Scott signed a law that banned marijuana smoking in all forms. That ban was overturned on Monday when Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation to repeal it. Shortly after DeSantis took office in January, he called on the Florida legislature to send a bill to his desk that would legalize medical marijuana by March 15.

"I have always been in favor of medical cannabis and believed that was what voters intended in 2016," Brandes told CNN.Patients will now have more optionsThe newly enacted law allows patients to receive 2.5 ounces of whole flower cannabis every 35 days. Patients younger than 18 can smoke medical marijuana if they have a terminal condition and get a second opinion from a pediatrician.
