Under the legislation, patients will no longer have to wait three months from obtaining a prescription to receiving medication.
The Bill also calls for the formation of a\u00a0Medical Marijuana Research and Education Board which will guide marijuana policy based on research from the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center.<\/span><\/div>\n
