TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida legislators are back on a path to passing a bill for enacting the state's constitutional amendment expanding the use of medical marijuana.
Gov. Rick Scott added medical marijuana to the agenda for the special legislative session that began Wednesday after lawmakers reached a compromise on key elements. The House's Health & Human Services Committee passed it on Wednesday night. The Senate's Health Policy Committee will meet Thursday morning, with both chambers likely to review it later in the day.

"Both sides made significant concessions and were able to come together," said Rep. Ray Rodrigues, who sponsored the House's bill. "Neither one of us got everything we wanted, but we both got something we could live with."
