Legalize it! Aren’t u people sick of all these laws that tell u what u can or can’t do? Are u sick and tired of your government spying on you? Let’s let people make their own decisions and take government out of the decision making equation!

I suffer from Hep C and I can not afford the medicine which can cost thousands a month. pot does control my nausea,headaches and the 12 other symptoms I suffer from, then by all means I should legally be able to obtain it.I can get it today for pennies on the dollar compared to the interferon that I cannot afford.I hope that all registered voters will sign and get this passed, so I want have to break the law.Its the right thing to do people…

Awesome response from NW Floridians! If one this is for certain it is the fact that our legislators are so out of touch with the people voting them into office. Let the great state of Florida be the first Southern state to wake up and smell the roses.

Put it on the ballet and let the people vote. If they vote for it, good. If they vote against it, good. The politicians like Pam Bondi don’t care what the people need or won’t. All the politician care about is lobbyists money.

Those clowns in tallahasse do not care what the citizens of this state want, they want to control every aspect of our lives. I am sick and tired of them telling me what i can or cannot put iinto my body. I’m also sick of them getting rich off of other peoples suffering with thier for profit prisons.

My wife woke up ill this morning. At first I was suspicious that she was just malingering but during her interrogation she convinced me that she’s really very ill by exhibiting actual symptoms of being ill. I said that I was really worried, and asked her if she wanted me to call a politician in for a medical consultation. But she’s still not sold on the assertion that politicians are better qualified to practice medicine and insisted on seeing an M.D. Women!

Now I’m going to have to lobby her to at least get a second opinion from a politician. Even if they can’t cure her, they can at least pass a law which would do so. I may have to put my foot down and insist. After all, it’s for her own good.

But seriously, what about the children? What kind of message does it send the children if she lallygags and acts like a layabout all day without consulting a politician? Doesn’t anyone care about the children?

According to some statistics marijuana use actually dropped after it was decriminalized or legalized, and like the other post, cigarettes and alcohol causes alot more troubles than pot.
Deaths last year from alcohol 100,000 +
Deaths from tobacco 443,000 +
Deaths by prescription drugs 28,754 +
Deaths from Marijuana 0

I have no need of or desire for the stuff.

But, I’d rather my physician decide what is medically necessary for me than a bunch of politicians.

@Paul, It is interesting to read that in California the liquor industry and law enforcement lobbied against the legalization ballot initiatives.

The liquor industry did not want competition and LE wanted property forfeitures resulting from pot bust to continue uninterrupted. I would say it is a safe bet that the pharmaceutical industry feels threatened as well. Source article from Marginal Revolution, Guess Who is Lobbying Against Marijuana Legalization, September 23 2010.

Is the tail wagging the dog on this issue? Moreover Google Pam Bondi on Wikipedia?
