In 2014, a Florida law was passed legalizing the use of a low THC, non-euphoric marijuana oil called cannabidiol, or CBD, to qualified patients with cancer, muscle spasms and intractable seizures. In March 2016, the passage of House Bill 307 on the medical use of marijuana expanded the state’s low-THC medical marijuana law by allowing products manufactured from cannabis strains with higher levels of THC to be available to patients with terminally ill conditions.
Florida’s medical marijuana constitutional amendment went into effect on Jan. 3. Though the amendment is now effective, much still needs to be accomplished in Tallahassee before patients can feel comfortable to legally acquire their medicine and before businesses can contemplate participating in the cannabis industry.
