Rick Scott signs "Charlotte's Web" medical mj bill

[RainDog]

In an expected move, Gov. Rick Scott Monday signed legislation legalizing a non-euphoric strain of marijuana widely-known as Charlotte’s Web.

“The approval of Charlotte’s Web will ensure that children in Florida who suffer from seizures and other debilitating illnesses will have the medication needed to improve their quality of life,” Scott said in a news release.

The strain is low in THC, the ingredient that gives traditional marijuana users the “high” feeling associated with the drug. The strain is high in cannbidiol, which has been used to treat things like childhood epilepsy.

The forceful support of a group of conservative lawmakers was seen as both a nod to the changing perception of medical marijuana, and an attempt to stop a proposed constitutional amendment to legalize all medical marijuana.

Ahnuld decriminalized mj to try to stop the legalization Proposition in CA in 2010 before he left the gov's office.

So, the problem, for Republicans, is that Americans might choose a medicine that also elevates their mood while dealing with illness.

LOL.

This is the sort of ridiculousness you get after more than a half-century of drug warrior lies.

Vote for amendment 2, Florida!
