Medical Marijuana
Nearly two years after Florida lawmakers legalized it, low-THC medical marijuana could be available in the state as soon as next week.
The Florida Department of Health has granted a Tallahassee company called Trulieve the authority to process and dispense the drug.
Five other Florida companies have a license to sell cannabis for medical use.
Meanwhile, activists in Florida push for a constitutional amendment legalizing the drug for a wider array of medical treatments.
