Last year, Florida legalized Charlotte's Web, a low-THC oil made from cannabis for some medical uses. The state is still deciding which nurseries will be awarded a license to grow and distribute the drug. Two nurseries in Jacksonville have applied.
Here in our area, the City Council is taking a slow and deliberate approach to regulating its growing, processing and dispensing in Jacksonville.
We discuss the issue with Jacksonville City Councilman Scott Wilson; Lisa King of the city’s Planning Commission; and Holly Mosely, mother of a child with epilepsy and an advocate for Charlotte’s Web’s medical use.
WJCT-TV's "Hometown" debuts a new look and a new host, Daniel N. Austin, this week. Austin and producers Stephen Jones and Shannon LeDuke join us with more.
