Arcturus to Acquire Established Florida Greenhouse Zoned for Medical Marijuana

Measures to legalize recreational marijuana are on the November 8^th ballot in five states this year: California, Nevada, Arizona, Maine and Massachusetts. Four other states - Florida, Arkansas, North Dakota and Montana - are considering initiatives to legalize medical marijuana, a move that some say is a first step towards full legalization.
