Gov. Rick Scott Approves Medical Marijuana: Five Places to Pick Up Some Munchies Before You Get Stoned

Well, we did it, Florida: Medical marijuana has been signed into law by Gov. movie villain Rick Scott.

While it's not time to pull the bongs out just yet -- the bill allows only the use of a noneuphoric strain (it won't get you high) to treat certain diseases -- it's a major step forward in our half-conservative state.

Anyway, we just want to make sure you're ready in case full legalization goes into effect. Or just to give you some advice for your ahead-of-the-law habits, in case you're in need.

Rather than be at the mercy of chain delivery pizza or greasy Chinese takeout, we've compiled a list of five dishes to pick up before you get stoned.

This Victoria Park shop looks like a pseudo bohemian's paradise. It's filled with comfy couches and cute string lights -- if weed were legal, you'd totally want to light one up inside. Alas, you cannot. But the shop offers a vegan pothead's dream sammie. The banana kale sandwich combines sunflower-seed butter, bitter kale, sweet banana slices, and a layer of sweet jam, stacked between two pieces of fresh, pillowy wheat bread.
