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."
