GOV. SCOTT GETS MEDICAL-POT BILL

TALLAHASSEE (AP) - Florida's latest medical-marijuana legislation is 
headed to Gov. Rick Scott. The Senate on Monday approved a House 
version of a bill (HB 307) that expands the use of the Right to Try 
Act, allowing the use of medical marijuana of all strengths for 
patients with terminal conditions. The bill, which passed 28-11, also 
adds regulations to the framework of the state's nascent cannabis 
industry covered by the 2014 Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act. Most 
of the debate on the Senate floor dealt with concerns about the 
regulatory and economic structures.
