MEDICAL CANNABIS RULES TO BE DISCUSSED The Florida Department of Health will hold a meeting Aug. 1 to continue discussing regulations for carrying out a new law allowing a type of medical marijuana. The departments work is being closely watched by growers, lawyers and lobbyists because of potential business opportunities. The new law makes legal in Florida certain strains of marijuana that are low in euphoria-inducing tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, and high in cannabadiol, or CBD. Supporters say the substances can eliminate or dramatically reduce life-threatening seizures in children with severe epilepsy. The law also allows patients who suffer from severe muscle spasms or cancer to be put on a compassionate use registry for the low-THC product as long as their doctors approve. The Aug. 1 meeting is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. at the Betty Easley Conference Center in Tallahassee.
