Holly Moseley of Gulf Breeze has been lobbying for more than year to make "Charlotte's Web" a strain of medical marijuana with low THC that could help ease her daughter, RayAnn's epileptic seizures, available in Florida.
Looks like she will have to wait at least until December, according to this story from the Tampa Bay Times.
As nursery owners, government officials, a Colorado pot grower and Moseley hammered out a proposed rule for growing the strain legalized by lawmakers last year, it's becoming clearer the best-case scenario is that Charlotte's Web will be available in Florida in December. More likely, it'll take much longer, thanks to rulemaking and appeals processes that could push back the earliest steps of choosing nurseries by another year. On Thursday, after months of planning and two full days of debating, the panel agreed to replace a lottery system, scrapped by a judge in November, with a scorecard to pick five nurseries to grow, process and distribute types of pot authorized by the Legislature last year. "Once we started talking about timelines … it all kind of hit me," she said. "I'm just feeling nervous for RayAnn, who I pray can hang on that long."Read the story here.
