Submitted by Kevin Derby on June 16, 2014 - 1:46pm
Gov. Rick Scott announced on Monday he had signed a bill giving a green light to Charlottes Web, a low-grade cannabis treatment for ill children.

The approval of Charlottes 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. I am proud to stand today with families who deserve the ability to provide their children with the best treatment available.
