The bill, which lawmakers approved this month, was one of 68 measures that Scott signed into law Friday. The bill expands a 2015 law known as the "Right to Try Act" to include medical marijuana. That law allows terminally ill patients to have access to experimental drugs that have not been approved for general use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.The bill expands a 2015 law known as the "Right to Try Act" to include medical marijuana.

Along with making marijuana available to dying patients, the bill also seeks to address long-running problems in carrying out a 2014 cannabis law that was primarily billed as a way to help children with severe forms of epilepsy. That law was supposed to make available forms of cannabis that do not get users high — but administrative issues and legal challenges have prevented patients from getting access to the substances.
