Standout South Florida Physician Dr. Rudolph Moise Endorses Amendment 2
Doctor Rudolph Moise, DO., MBA., JD., a longtime leader in the South Florida
medical community, is expressing his support for Amendment 2 and the medical use
of marijuana.
Dr. Moise is an advocate for helping patients in desperate
need of alleviating pain, nausea, seizures and other symptoms associated with
cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, AIDS, and multiple sclerosis among other
ailments. He is speaking out about the benefits of medical marijuana in order to
encourage voters to approve this needed amendment. He is also eager to see
other Florida physicians lend their support to this effort because he believes
it would help them provide the best care possible for their patients.
“Americans are suffering with pain every day and
medical marijuana is a safe, measured and regulated way for severely ill
patients to be more comfortable and improve their quality of life,” said Dr.
Moise. “What voters don’t know is that communities with medical marijuana
availability have actually seen decreases in crime, in deaths from prescription
painkillers, and even reductions in teenage use.”
“The majority of
Americans, more than 160 Million in 23 states plus the District of Columbia,
have the legal right to choose medical marijuana when recommended by their
physician for debilitating conditions. However, in Florida the elderly and
residents who seek to relieve their suffering with cannabis are considered
criminals. This is just wrong and inhumane,”
said Dr. Moise.
said Dr. Moise.
"Having a
physician of Dr. Moise's stature come out in favor of Amendment 2 confirms what
we have been saying all along: There is strong support at the highest levels of
the medical profession for what we are trying to accomplish," said Ben Pollara,
Campaign Manager at United for Care. "Dr. Moise understands Amendment 2 is the
right thing to do for both the doctors and their patients because it puts
medical choices in their hands, not in the hands of politicians."
Dr.
Rudolph Moise is the President and CEO of Comprehensive Health Center, LLC a
large primary health care practice with centers in Dade, Broward and Central
Florida. He practices family medicine and pain management. He is also the CEO of
Physician Access Urgent Care Group (PAUC), a Managed Service Organization (MSO),
which manages 40 medical practices in South and Central Florida. Dr. Moise has
received multiple awards from several organizations around the country. In 2005
the South Florida Business Journal named him one of the five finalists for the
“Best Physician of Year” award. He is a member of multiple boards, including The
Dade County Medical Association, United Way of Miami Dade County, Jackson
Memorial Foundation, and North Shore Hospital. He recently retired from the Air
Force Reserve after 21 years of honorable service as a Colonel and Flight
Surgeon.

Why Rick Scott was the most unpopular governor in the country
This is who we're up against -- Rick Scott, a man who...
- Turned down $2.4 billion in federal money for high speed rail
- Refused to expand Medicaid, leaving one million people without the health care they need
- Cut K-12 education by $1.3 billion -- and slashed the number of Bright Futures scholarships in half
- Heartlessly returned a rescue dog!
- Sent five men out to call equal pay for women "dangerous"
- Doesn't support raising the minimum wage
- Won't take responsibility for his government's fight against marriage equality
- Vetoed funding for 30 rape crisis centers
- Actively tried to make it harder for people to vote
- Plundered the Everglades and Florida's natural resources to benefit his biggest donors
- Hid his travel, communication, and schedule from the public to conduct shady deals
- Jacked up your utility rates and property insurance
- Re-installed barriers to restoration of rights
- Is adamantly anti-choice and wants to overturn Roe v. Wade
- Wants to take us back to the days when insurance companies could deny you coverage just for being sick
- Has a blind trust run by a close family friend that he checks in on regularly
- Created only 4 percent of the jobs he promised -- and most of those are for the wealthy and his powerful businesses associates
- Vote Florida and help Charlie out.

Florida Cops Rake in Cash Busting Marijuana
The most visible opponents of medical marijuana beyond the Drug Free Florida ads are the Florida Sheriffs Association, a law enforcement group run by Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, who uses Reefer Madness-esque rhetoric to claim marijuana will ruin society. "I see the guy that's up all night with a baby that's screaming, so he smokes him a blunt and a half and he thinks that'll help and ends up bouncing the baby off the walls," Judd said at an anti-pot press conference earlier this summer.
Though recent evidence suggests that marijuana liberalization actually reduces violent crime, law enforcement has its own motives. In an investigation published last month in The Nation magazine, I noted that marijuana busts have become a huge revenue source for police, which influences their political opposition to drug reform. In Minnesota and other states, police lobbyists have privately told legislators that relaxing marijuana laws could cost them financially. here
A blunt and a half, bouncing babies off walls, Mr. Judd? You are a funny guy.

No On 2: Right Wing Propaganda
AD CLAIM
“It’s not about
compassion; it just legalizes pot smoking.”
----------
VERDICT: FALSE
----------
VERDICT: FALSE
Amendment 2
explicitly states: “Nothing in this section authorizes the use of medical
marijuana by anyone other than a qualifying patient.” Moreover it
states: "Nothing in this section shall affect laws relating to non-medical use,
possession, production or sale of marijuana.”
----------
----------
AD CLAIM
“…Not just for serious diseases…”
“…Not just for serious diseases…”
----------
VERDICT: FALSE
In a ruling
handed down on January 27th, 2014, the Florida Supreme Court affirmed that the
scope of Amendment 2 was unequivocal: only patients with debilitating diseases
and conditions would be allowed to have access to medical marijuana under
Amendment 2, including those suffering from cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis
and Lou Gehrig’s disease among others.
----------

AD CLAIM
“How do they know it’s safe? They don’t.”
“How do they know it’s safe? They don’t.”
----------
VERDICT: FALSE
In 1988 Drug
Enforcement Agency Administrative Law Judge Francis Young said, “marijuana in
its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to
man. By any measure of rational analysis marijuana can be safely used within the
supervised routine of medical care.” There isn’t a single instance of an
overdose death caused by marijuana. Marijuana is safer than many medicines
commonly found in our cabinets like Advil and Tylenol, which cause 12,000 deaths
per year in the United States.

AD CLAIM
“Kids can legally get it without their parents’ permission.” “No parental control.”
“Kids can legally get it without their parents’ permission.” “No parental control.”
----------
VERDICT: FALSE
As Politifact
stated in its May 20, 2014 fact check on this topic, Florida minors would not be
able to get a recommendation for medical marijuana from a physician because,
“currently, a parent or guardian must provide consent for medical treatment for
a minor, except in emergencies or other unusual circumstances, such as when the
Department of Children and Family Services must get involved.”

Looking for Rick Scott today?
You won't find him where a judge ordered
him to be: In Tallahassee, giving a deposition on the secret email accounts he
illegally used to conduct state business. Instead, Scott is holding a
massive fundraiser in Miami. I was going to suggest you send him an email
to his private address -- gov.rls@gmail.com
to try and reach him. But alas,
you'll just get an error message.
DINO Bob Buckhorn No Fan Of Amendment 2
Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn believes the legalization of medical marijuana is a “slippery slope,” and is no fan of Amendment 2 here
“There are alternatives for people who are in that type of pain, It’s hard for me to explain
why I would legitimize what is a drug.”
Mayor Bob, I think the alternatives are called drugs. You need to take your head out of your right wing ass and listen to the experts.
