(CNN) — Medical marijuana is now legal in the state of Florida.

Voters initially approved it in 2016, but Governor Rick Scott signed a law that bans smoking all marijuana the following year.

When Governor Ron DeSantis took office in January, he asked the legislature to give him a new bill legalizing medical marijuana once again. He signed that bill into law Monday.

Patients in Florida who are prescribed marijuana can now receive 2.5 ounces of whole flower cannabis every 35 days.

People under 18 must have a terminal condition and a second opinion.

Some lawmakers believe recreational marijuana will follow and be made legal in the state within the next several years.
