They included the burden of proof for the accused at the last minute to create a no-win situation. Govt. does not represent the people, they CYA and represent big money.
Now that the limits have been dropped for contributions to those running for an office, good luck getting any support for the little guys.
Wake up America! Ethics, rights, freedoms – sold out.

The liberals know if they ever get it passed it will never get repealed. The pot smokers do to. I guess 95% of the people who post in favor of legalization have never owned a business and have never tried to keep a workers compensation policy intact. When people work for you that use illegal drugs they come to work wearing sun shades and every thing else to try and hide it. They cheat any way they can to keep a job in which illegal drugs are a definite hazard. The small businesses of today have enough trouble staying afloat in this terrible economy and all it takes is 1 accident to get them kicked out of some of the contracts they hold. The business owner takes all the financial risks including their credit and their standing in the community and all it takes is 1 person coming to work high and not in their full capacity to create havoc for the small business owner! Now who are the selfish one’s? The business owner providing a job and trying to better himself or the drug user who just wants another high?

Some people need to educate themselves before spewing propaganda, marijuana has many beneficial uses as medicine, it has been demonized by certain industries who do not want to see real medicine available to the American people, these same industries would rather you take a medicine that has side effects that cause people to need more of thier medicine that causes side effects.

Try doing some research on your own before deciding this plant is so evil no one should have it. Israel has used marijuana for over forty years with great success healing many many ailements and diseases.

The American people have been lied to in order for certain companies and agencies to maximize profits and they will say and do anything to keep this plant from being legal. Have you ever wondered why only one side of the arguement is ever published? If not, maybe that is a question you should be asking.

It is not only druggies who want this plant legalized, there are a great number of people who are suffering that what the chance to see if they can have some relief and comfort from this plant. There are educated people who want to prove the benefits of the medicine this plant can provide to sick people. so give it a chance.

This is good news, I’m glad to see logic prevailed and hopefully people with medical needs can at least have something new to try and help. Its great we have finally reached this point , and i hope it continues.

If you’re arrested for possessing something completely legal, the burden is on you to prove it’s legal?

I am proud of the Florida legislature on this one!! They made the right decision here! They voted with wisdom and looked out for all Floridians instead of the ones crying to get high! Some people never grow up!

I think less and less of our elected officials everyday. There is an identical volume of research on THC as CBD. This just makes me certain I won’t be voting for anybody in the next election cycle. If you accept some science, you should be able to accept all of it. Enough of these fools.

“Not all marijuana the same”. I agree, some is better than others.

I remember 1976 my senior year of high school, then democratic presidential candidate Jimmy Carter was talking legalization. It is 2014 and here we are 38 years later.
