if it was not for money this would been done with long time ago. big pharma is scared they are gonna lose a dollar and are fighting hard with all the pols they have in pocket. remember, a treatment makes them more cash if it only somewhat works as it has to be used more, pot relieves symptoms better and for longer, the evil big pharma can’t have that, it goes against the money machine that is firmly in place.

Well ann 1of 2 alcohol kills brain cells too. It also hurts your kidneys, as well as your liver. It has no real significant medical benefits and does more harm than good. Pot does have medical benefits and in my opinion is one reason it is being fought tooth and nail by big pharmaceutical corps.
It’s like the old saying no money in a cure it’s all in the treatment

I have to agree with Lance Brown on this. Especially the part about keeping those seasoned pot dealer millionaires out of the Florida market.

Don’t go blaming Conservatives. This one thinks one look at the number of lives lost annually to alcohol in some form or fashion is all it should take. Couple that with obvious medical benefits and the reduction of people being arrested for minor possession charges and have a trifecta of sane reasons to legalize. My only concern is the long line of clowns from California, Oregon, Colorado and Washington state that want to overwhelm the state with their business model to take over sales. Keep them and their ilk out. Set it up in a manor where Native Floridians have preference when it comes to sales and you’re really on to something.

The conservatives are going to keep stalling this issue as long as they can. Wether you like pot or not, the illegality of it is ruling lives. I personally don’t care to smoke, but I do believe it should be legal. It is long over due.

My father had ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) for 3 years His first symptoms were weakness in his hands and losing his balance which led to stumbling and falling. He never lost the ability to swallow or breathe. His one hand, then his legs, were affected first; then his arms. The Rilutek (riluzole) did very little to help him. The medical team did even less. His decline was rapid and devastating. The psychological support from the medical centre was non-existent and if it were not for the sensitive care and attention of his primary physician, he would have died . There has been little if any progress in finding a cure or reliable treatment. So this year his primary physician suggested we started him on Natural Herbal Gardens ALS Herbal mixture which eased his anxiety a bit,We ordered their ALS herbal treatment after reading alot of positive reviews, i am happy to report this ALS herbal treatment reversed my dad condition. His quality of life has greatly improved and every one of his symptoms including difficulty in walking and slurred speech are gone. Their official web site is naturalherbalgardens. c o m He will be 74 soon and can now go about his daily activities

@ mike, I have been told pot is available everywhere so anyone that wants can get it on just about any street corner in town. so this delay stops nothing except for the state to figure out the best way to tax it.

Marijuana is brain damaging, period. That fact will not change just because this is a different year. Calling it Medical is a farce.

No surprise that the medical establishment fights tooth and nail. Scott’s company may not have figured out a Medicare fraud angle yet for legalized pot smoking.
