We’re just a little more than a week away from the Florida Presidential Primary, which takes place on March 17, with early voting already underway around the First Coast.

So, we took a closer look at where the candidates - and President Donald Trump - stand when it comes to cannabis. And, with the state’s regular legislative session scheduled to wrap up this Friday, we also thought we’d take a closer look at where all the cannabis-related legislation is expected to pan out.

Sally Peebles, a Partner with Vicente Sederberg and a Member of the state’s Medical Marijuana Advisory Committee; and Shelton Hull, who covers the topic for Folio Weekly, helped us explore all this - and more.
