Come November, Florida voters will have a chance to legalize medical marijuana with Amendment 2.
But lawmakers have already legalized a strain of medical marijuana known as Charlotte's Web.
Now state health officials are trying to figure out how to grow and distribute the specially engineered low-THC strain.
Charlotte's Web has shown to be very effective in treating a rare form of epilepsy that causes life-threatening seizures.
There will be only five dispensaries in the state that will be licensed to sale Charlotte's Web.
But just who will get the licenses to run them is what a standing-room only hearing in Tallahassee Monday was all about.
For instance, Heather Zabinofsky calls herself a "master grower" with 800 acres of land, and the skills she says it will take to farm clean, safe medical marijuana. But Zabinofsky doesn't have a 30-year-old business, which is the minimum qualification for a dispensary. Experts say that minimum qualification is made very clear in the law.
"I have actually tested, and I can get the CBDs high, extremely high, bearing in mind the THC levels as being between point three to point eight. I can do that. I know how to do that. I also know when to harvest," said Zabinofsky.
The state health department plans to release a Charlotte's Web distribution plan in the coming weeks.
Critics say they're thinking about suing the state for not allowing small farmers to apply for medical marijuana dispensary licenses.
