Gov. Rick Scott signs medical marijuana bill

Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill Friday to expand Florida’s “Right To Try” compassionate use registry to allow terminally ill patients to use medical marijuana.

The bill, which was one of the most hotly-debated pieces of legislation during this year’s regular session in Tallahassee, overwhelmingly won the approval of state lawmakers earlier this month.

The bill, HB 307, would create new regulations for medical marijuana use in the Sunshine State. Floridians who have less than a year to live would be able to use certain non-smokable forms of medical marijuana.
