Florida Passes Draconian Marijuana Bill

HB 173 is now the law in Florida. This means that if you have 25 or more marijuana plants, you will be charged with a felony, because supposedly you are selling or intending to sell your crop. Apparently, while most of the country has been liberalizing their marijuana laws, Florida has chosen a retrograde path to the 1950s.........here

This "War on Pot" is nothing but a cash cow for the judiciary and law enforcement, and a ploy which appeals to the reactionary right wing fundamentalist voters.

Even in the face of little known research by the American Thoracic Society which shows non-detrimental, sometimes even positive, health effects from its use, these laws are pursued. It's just another stab at vulnerable, average America.
