I agree with that! And unlike Alcohol, MJ doesnt make one throw sh.it at their wife or husband, act completely stupid, fall down, drive and wreck, pass out, forget, and all the other dumb stuff that comes with consuming too much alcohol... Which happens 40% of the time.. TOO MUCH !
Edit: Never saw MJ over there until I became an adult and even then it was only in Amsterdam. Fun childhood, German schools are a trip, or were. None of us kids drank alcohol we preferred sailing and soccer.
I was under the impression that was supposed to be voted on.
Too many ignorant people still want it to remain illegal. It should already b legal at the federal level.

The Florida Right to Medical Marijuana Initiative, also known as Amendment 2, is on the November 8, 2016, ballot in Florida as an initiated constitutional amendment.
A "yes" vote supports legalizing medical marijuana for individuals with debilitating medical conditions as determined by a licensed state physician.
A vote "no" vote opposes the legalization of medical marijuana, keeping the state's current marijuana prohibition in place.
Amendment 2 was also designed to require the Department of Health to regulate marijuana production and distribution centers and issue identification cards for patients and caregivers.[1]
For a referred amendment to win in Florida, it must win a supermajority vote of 60 percent of those voting on the question, according to Section 5 of Article XI. This change was made via Amendment 3 in 2006.
Background
Defeat of Amendment 2
See also: Florida Right to Medical Marijuana Initiative, Amendment 2 (2014)
United for Care successfully placed a similar initiative on the November 4, 2014, ballot in Florida, but the measure was defeated on Election Day. Although a 57.62 percent majority voted in favor of the amendment, Florida's state constitution requires a 60 percent supermajority vote for an amendment to pass. Thus, the measure failed by 2.38 percent.
Following Amendment 2's defeat, John Morgan, the central proponent of and largest donor to the defeated measure, started planning a re-run for 2016. United for Care, which supported the defeated Amendment 2 of 2014, is supporting the 2016 medical marijuana initiative. The group's director, Ben Pollara, said the new initiative contains explicit language clarifying areas that opponents of Amendment 2 were concerned about.[2][3][4][5]
Differences between 2014 and 2016 measures
Although the 2014 measure and the 2016 measure were both designed to legalize medical marijuana, there are some differences between the two proposals. The 2016 measure clarifies requirements for parental consent for the use of medical marijuana by minors and also further defines what is meant by "debilitating" illnesses that would qualify for marijuana as a treatment option. The 2016 measure also addresses concerns regarding caregivers by making it clear that doctors would not be immune from malpractice claims for negligent prescribing of marijuana and by limiting how many patients a caregiver can treat with marijuana<SNIP>

Gov. Scott approves medical marijuana for terminally ill patients.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill Friday, March 25, that will allow terminally ill patients to access medical cannabis to ease their suffering, as reported by the Sun Sentinel.
The bill (HB 307) adds medical cannabis to the state’s “Right to Try Act,” which allows terminally ill patients to access experimental drugs that aren’t approved for general use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Additionally, HB 307 includes measures seeking to address administrative and legal blocks to a 2014 medical cannabis law that was supposed to grant children with severe forms of epilepsy access to low-THC cannabis oil. Cannabis oil has been shown to help reduce seizure frequency in epilepsy patients that don’t respond to traditional forms of treatment.
Florida is also gearing up to vote on a broader medical marijuana law this November. The proposed constitutional amendment, Amendment 2, would legalize medical marijuana for individuals with debilitating medical conditions. The measure would also require the state health department to regulate marijuana production and distribution centers, and issue medical marijuana identifications cards to patients and caregivers.
A similar amendment on the Nov. 2014 ballot narrowly missed the 60 percent supermajority vote needed to pass in Florida.
Medical marijuana is currently legal for qualified patients in 23 states and the District of Columbia. A number more are seeking to legalize medical cannabis in 2016.
This
With 19 more locations supposedly to open over the next year........i'd say you are good to go.
Strict but understanding restrictions......for DR and patients.
Let's hope so.
This dispensary is the first to provide non-euphoric marijuana under the Charlotte's Web law.
Yes that is correct.Sad that it has taken 2 years for a place to be able to get up and running as Scott signed the 1030 bill back in june i believe of 2014.
No time to relax Ron.......High THC products becomes available in 1 more day.:wink It's the end of the world!!!
For those that would like to obtain it though they will need a script from not 1 but 2 doctors.
Ever seen the medical marijuana clinics in CA? You know, the ones with the roll skating joint on the Newport Beach Boardwalk.
