Florida Governor asks legislature to drop former governors ban on medical marijuana

Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Thursday that he has asked the Legislature to change Florida law to allow smoking medical marijuana. If lawmakers don’t comply by mid March, he’ll drop the state’s appeal of a court decision that says banning it violates a constitutional amendment. Against a backdrop of lush green in Winter Park — the hometown of attorney and medical marijuana champion John Morgan — he added that he plans to drop appeals in several other cases regarding limited licensing and vertical integration, which requires medical marijuana companies to grow, manufacture, sell and market their own product.
