See my posts here, herehere, and here regarding the Florida Legislature’s efforts to pass laws to implement Amendment 2 (medical marijuana passed by Florida’s voters in November 2016) which failed in the last legislative session.

Now, Florida’s legislatures head back to Tallahassee for a special session from June 7th to June 9th. Unfortunately, but also no surprise, medical marijuana is not on Gov. Rick Scott’s list of issues for the special session.

However, many members of the legislature appear to be committed, if there is time, to working on medical marijuana during the special session.  Meanwhile, cannabis patients are frustrated by the failure of the Florida legislature to pass comprehensive medical marijuana laws to address the lack of licenses and lack of retail locations.
