88 Percent Of Florida Voters Support Marijuana For Medical Purposes

According to the Quinnipiac University poll, 88 percent of Florida voters now would allow use of marijuana for medical purposes — broad support that cuts across age, gender and political lines. That is up from 82 percent support that Quinnipiac 
reported in November. here

Charlotte's Web Is A Sham

Politicians who sympathize with Amendment 2 should consider getting on their voters' level and leveling with us with at least half the passion that Rutherford and Bean put into advocating for the failed status quo. Amendment 2 will fail if its advocates continue to relinquish control of the narrative to those political lifers poised to benefit from things staying as they are, the phony Reagan-conservative wannabes who have stolen liberties for decades, under the cover of flag pins and security emergencies. here

Florida Republicans Crackerjack Idea

The geniuses running the Republican campaign effort in Florida have now decided that stirring opposition to medical marijuana will help Gov. Rick Scott win. The question is why the Republican brain trust thinks it’s a crackerjack idea to attack a popular social cause while Scott is fighting tooth-and-nail to save his job. The governor will be in deep trouble if thousands and thousands of marijuana advocates show up to vote in November. They’re not exactly his core constituency, so why get them riled?

Gambling Mogul Adds Name to Anti-Amendment 2 Rogue’s Gallery

With a single contribution of $2.5 million, 
Las Vegas gambling magnate Sheldon Adelson 
has added his name to the list of questionable characters standing behind Drug Free Florida, an organization dedicated to denying patients with debilitating diseases access to the medical marijuana they need to ease their suffering. At Drug Free Florida Adelson joins former Reagan drug policy aide Carlton Turner, who once claimed marijuana use led to homosexuality, tobacco lobbyist Sarah Bascom, and 
Mel Sembler, whose controversial STRAIGHT Inc. drug rehab program folded in 1993 due to accusations of widespread cruelty and abuse. here

Darryl Rouson Is Worried About Amendment 2

Rouson’s Democratic Party has largely been supportive of the amendment on the November ballot and he says he has immense respect for the influential Orlando attorney who is spearheading the effort. “But, I am worried about the amendment,”
Rouson bluntly told about 300 community leaders at a Sarasota Tiger Bay meeting last week. here

Ybor City Drug Crime

 Last February Matthew Heller was returning to his truck after having attended a Juicy J concert in Ybor City, “When he jumps in his truck, it was torn apart inside, wires had been yanked out, the paneling had some scratches on it…” One might think that maybe it was a burglar who had been inside his truck, but nope. It was TPD, and Mr. Heller knows that because they did leave a note saying exactly what they did. Here
Soon we can avoid all this and TPD can fight real crime.

Dear Mr. Rubio

Thank you very much for your e-mail
"Thank you for contacting me regarding marijuana usage.  I understand this is an important issue to you and I appreciate hearing your thoughts.  
Up front, let me say we disagree.
The use of illegal drugs has a profound impact on many people in our country, especially children.  Drugs contribute to violent crime and enrich international crime organizations.  More than that, they destroy lives and undermine our society.  The federal government has an important role to play in combatting drug trafficking and the criminal organizations that benefit from it. 
H.R. 499 the "Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2013", was introduced by Congressman Jared Polis of Colorado. This legislation seeks to remove marijuana from the list of Schedule I controlled substances.  H.R. 499 has been referred to the House Subcommittee on Conservation, Energy, and Forestry.  There is no companion legislation for H.R. 2306 in the Senate. I cannot support blanket legalization for marijuana and I would like to see more scientific research and data before changing the laws on medicinal marijuana.  
It is an honor and a privilege to serve you as your United States Senator.  I appreciate you offering your opinion on this issue.  If I can ever be of any assistance to you in the future, please do not hesitate to contact me."
Sincerely, Marco Rubio, Uited States Senator

First of all Mr. Rubio, drugs do not contribute to violent crime, drug laws do.
and second instead of enriching international crime organizations
we could be enriching our states coffer. This is going to pass, with or without your support. So you better get used to it.

The Florida Doctrine of Medical Necessity

Right now there is a provision in Florida law that allows the use of medical marijuana 
for certain patients. 
The Florida Doctrine of Medical Necessity 
is not well known but it is being used by people here in state who say medicinal marijuana is their last hope. The use of medical marijuana has been legal in Florida for medical use for more than two decades. more>
