Molinoman, i do not care if people smoke dope. Just do it at home and not near me. I hate the horrible smell it makes me sick.

When over 71% of Florida voters approved amendment 2, they meant what they said. Now our elected “representatives” are trying to over rule the vote of the people. Other prescriptions from other states are OK, just not medical marajuana. How about that?

That makes about as much sense as banning the phone-in/on-line ordering of bottled water?

My mom used this before she passed away with lung cancer it honestly was the only pain relief she got. I never believed in use of this for anything however after watching a loved one suffer and then seeing this was the only relief she got it I am glad they are allowing for certain medical conditions . God put it here for something and his remedies sure seem to work better than the man made ones, just my opinion .

People that live in rural, hard to access areas, don’t have to buy marijuana. It’s just a weed.

This is only common sense because marijuana is scheduled as a narcotic. The same narcotic as opiates and to my knowledge you must go see a doctor for an Rx or refill on that. When they reschedule marijuana this won’t be an issue. Lastly a doctor can write your Rx and refills for up to 6 months at a time before another office visit. This is not really a big deal and was expected. Nod give it a rest.

There are patients for whom medical marijuana is a key aspect of treatment. Given the fact that telemedicine allows medical doctors access to patients in rural and otherwise difficult to access locations, in some of which locations marijuana is legal for both medical and recreational use, it makes no sense to deny those patients access to legitimate treatment options. I can you see no justification for such a rule.

Why so doctors can charge an office visit everytime? Sometimes a phone call or internet visit should be enough to get a prescription called in. If they recognize cannabis as legitimate drug. I needed a pain pill for the first time in my life and couldn’t get them to call it in like I was some dope feind or something so had to be in excruciating pain, wait at the ER for five hours..Some regulations may sound good but follow the money.
