He said he will vote yes on Amendment 2.

Of course he will. He's a John Morgan toady.

Sure, if you can get them off the couch. “Sir, please carefully set down that bag of munchies, and walk slowly to the voting drive van we’ve brought for you. There’s this BIG “D” lever inside that little metal booth we want you to pull down on real hard. We’ll remind you again what to do right after you walk in so you don’t forget. When you’re done we have a nice big bag of ring-dings waiting for you when you get back home.”

Shortly before adjourning the 2014 legislative session, Florida lawmakers passed a bill that will exempt a limited group of very sick people from criminal laws for using marijuana that is low in THC and high in CBD if certain requirements are met. Gov. Rick Scott signed the bill on June 16, 2014. Unfortunately, the law leaves many patients behind and may not help even those it’s meant to. A summary of the new law is available here.

The bill allows patients with cancer and conditions that result in chronic seizures or severe muscle spasms to use cannabis that contains 0.8% THC or lower and 10% CBD or higher. Patients can administer the medicine via pills, oils, or vaporization. Smoking is prohibited. The bill also requires the state to register five dispensing businesses, spread out across the state, to grow and dispense the medical marijuana. Unfortunately, the bill places heavy burdens on physicians who wish to recommend marijuana to their patients, arguably forcing them to violate federal laws in order to do so.
