Lawmakers are moving forward with plans to legalize one specific type of medical marijuana.
Voters will likely have the opportunity to vote on an amendment that would legalize medical marijuana in Florida in November, but Florida's Republican legislature could beat voters to the punch, at least when it comes to Charlotte's Web.
Charlotte's Web is the name given to a low-potency form of medical marijuana that has been shown to cure children who suffer from a life-threatening condition that causes severe and repeated seizures.
The Speaker of the House is now willing to allow that bill to make its way through the process, which means it has a pretty good chance of passing.
However, the bill could face a hurdle in Gov. Rick Scott, who has said he's "concerned" about legalizing medical marijuana in any form. Scott has the ability to veto any bill that's passed by the legislature.
