Medical marijuana is legal in Florida
Supporters of medical marijuana on Wednesday celebrated the landslide victory of Amendment 2 as long-needed relief for Florida’s sickest patients.
But it will likely be many months before most of the estimated 450,000 people who qualify for the drug will actually have access to it. And the fight over just how the law will actually take shape has yet to begin.
The constitutional amendment, which guarantees the right of patients with certain “debilitating” illness the right to use cannabis, takes effect in January.
But Florida lawmakers must still draft rules for how the law will be implemented and regulated, a process that will begin in March. Patients themselves must have a 90-day relationship with physicians licensed by the state to obtain marijuana.
