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.
