House Joint Resolution 353 and its Senate companion Senate Joint Resolution 1028 amend state law so that certain qualified patients will possess an affirmative defense against charges of possessing and growing marijuana. Full text of the measures can be read here and here.

This is the first time that legislation seeking to protect medical marijuana patients has been simultaneously introduced in both chambers of the Florida legislature.  Visit - http://capwiz.com/norml2/issues/alert/?alertid=60668501 - for more on this Action Item.


Court established defense

Despite the fact that a medical necessity defense has been established by Florida case law, patients remain at risk of being arrested and jailed because legislators have yet to enact a medical marijuana law.

Status of Medical Marijuana (Cannabis) in Florida.

  Info on Florida and Medical Cannabis 

While a medical necessity defense has been established by Florida case law, Florida does NOT have a MEDICAL MARIJUANA (cannabis) LAW. Yet.

Florida - Action, Medical Marijuana Patients ChangeTheLaw.org | The first thing to understand is that when the PEOPLE (you and me), want to legalize medical marijuana in Florida, is that Tallahassee (those currently in charge) have enacted several rules that must be followed exactly. The current Florida State government system makes it difficult for the common folks like you and me to directly change our Florida State Constitution. However; legalized medical marijuana laws have now been changed and adopted in several states. Since 1996, thirteen states have now made marijuana legal by prescription: California, Alaska, Montana, Michigan, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. If they could do it in those states surely we Floridians can make our great state of Florida number fourteen. visit - http://www.changethelaw.org/

ACTION; Get involved in the movement for safe and legal access to medical cannabis today. Our power comes from our collective action. Whether it's calling Congress, attending rallies, organizing a local activity or chapter, signing an online petition, or supporting federal defendants, take action today!   There are a number of medical cannabis (marijuana) bills in play in states across the US.   Here we network on Ways and Means anyone can help with the effort to make each a medical marijuana state. We need to get the word out and people contacting reps and officials and get this legislation into law. Also, lets not forget efforts at the Federal level.

Florida - Action, Medical Marijuana Patients NETWORK and Spread The Word, both On-Line and Off (!)   ON-LINE, You can tell everybody in cyber-space by e-mailing a link to this website to them and/or (OFF-LINE> printing off the info and handing out where possible / necessary. Also phone call and read off and/or visit and hand deliver the info. You can take literature with you and approach businesses, organizations and even people on the street while you're out and about. Wear your pot-leaf shirt and register voters, as feasible. Gather signatures for any related petitions that are happening at the time as well.

This is a chain e-mail you can't refuse. Unlike most, this will actually help you - and a whole buncha others - just by passing it on. Cannabis consumer or not - from the folks just trying to take care of themselves or a loved one to those who simply see the expensive, immoral waste of making war on the sick and dying - everyone is affected by this issue.

To accomplish this you need to first click on the following links and send a message to all the reps and media you can on the issue. Then get everybody else to do the same. And follow up.

To do this you need to tell everybody you know. And can confide in. Then/or anonymously tell everybody you don't know - or can't confide in. Yet.

Tell everybody else by Letters-to-the-Editor, displaying signage at street corners and over-passes (wear trenchcoat, fedora and sunglasses if afraid of exposure), and/or anonymously leaving literature and posting on-line at places where people are likely to find it. Coffeeshops are good places to leave printed material and you can go to the websites of the local newspapers to post items as well. More ideas and supporting tools via the links below.

Florida - Action, Medical Marijuana Patients Push to Legalize Medicinal Marijuana in Florida By Rich Jones, News Director @ March 31, 2009 | There's a push by students at Florida State University to legalize marijuana. Students are gathering petitions for a constitutional amendment. They'll need almost 700,000 to get it on the ballot next year. Kim Russell is one of the organizers and says it could help her father with Parkinson's disease avoid surgery. "It's a pain reducer. It's a neuro-protector, meaning it protects the brain. It has anti-oxidant properties. There's many medicinal purposes for it". Thirteen other states have already taken some steps to legalize medical uses of marijuana. Nine others, including Florida, could vote on the measure in 2010. visit - http://wokv.com/localnews/2009/03/push-to-legalize-medicinal-mar.html

The failure to develop such a drug is one reason why so many people have considered alternative remedies to treat their pain, including the use of medical marijuana.

The medical community has recognized the benefits of medical marijuana for many years. In fact, major pharmaceutical companies actually sold THC (acting ingredient in marijuana) in their drug products for decades until the federal government enacted legislation prohibiting the sale of marijuana back in 1937. visit - http://guides.gottrouble.com/_The_Treatment_of_Pain_and_Medical_Marijuana_Florida-r1188339-Florida.html

Florida - Action, Medical Marijuana Patients Florida's Marijuana Boom: House-Grown, and Potent By Carmen Gentile / Miami Thursday, Jul. 30, 2009 | California may be the center of the marijuana trade and the controversies over its legalization. But Florida has surpassed it in one important category: the Sunshine State is now the country's leader in indoor marijuana cultivation. It is a potent distinction because most of the marijuana grown this way is cultured hydroponically — that is, mostly without soil and with a carefully calibrated cocktail of chemicals and lighting — to create some of the highest level of highs on the market. In 2006, Florida law enforcement here discovered 480 homes growing marijuana indoors. Last year, 1,022 grow houses were busted. "This isn't your grandma's marijuana," quipped a Miami-Dade narcotics officer at one bust as he tossed garbage bags stuffed with confiscated marijuana into an unmarked police truck. Levels of THC — the agent in marijuana that produces feelings of euphoria, and in some users mild hallucinations and paranoia — have risen dramatically because of indoor techniques. Thirty years ago, most marijuana contained about 7% THC. Today, indoor growers boast THC levels of 25% or higher thanks to the additional care that indoor plants receive.

Florida - Legal Resources, Medical Marijuana Patients Florida Marijuana Charge? Free Legal Defense Case Evaluation on Florida Marijuana Possession Charges | Florida marijuana possession laws are among the toughest in the county, and the penalties the most severe. With many states passing medical marijuana laws, there is a nationwide trended to decriminalize possession of pot. Unfortunately Florida has not caught up to this trend to lay off the harmless pot smokers. Simple possession of marijuana is still a seriously prosecuted misdemeanor criminal offense. If you were convicted of possession of marijuana it is possible to be sentenced to jail time, even for small amounts. Thought there is not a big risk of jail time likely for small amounts of pot, a joint or a blunt, any risk of jail time is enough to make most people very nervous. It is at a time like this that you need a defense attorney you can trust, to help you figure out what you are facing, and what you can do about it. Our lawyers know how the Florida criminal courts treat marijuana offenses and can help you get the best possible results in court. Whether you were caught with a small personal amount or busted with plants or a large amount, we can help. visit - http://www.myfloridadefenselawyer.com/MarijuanaPossessionFL.html For a Free Criminal Defense Consultation, call Musca Law at (877) 394-6959

Florida - Legal, Medical Marijuana Patients WeBeHigh.com - Worldwide Marijuana travel Guide with information about Marijuana prices all over the world ! Check out WBH's stoners' guide to the world! | Fort Lauderdale, State: Florida (FL); Country: United States (US), Time Zone: UTC/GMT -4 hours, Dialing codes: + 1 (USA) Area codes: 754 / 954. Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal 5=virtually legal]: 4 Legislation: Possession of 20 grams or less of marijuana is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Possession of greater than 20 grams of marijuana is a felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.

Law Enforcement: City of Fort Lauderdale police are usually too busy chasing murderers to worry about average consumer level potheads, but don't smoke in too public of a place or a crowded area. Stay away from the main strip along Ft. Lauderdale beach. Smaller municipal local city cops may be bored and looking for some stoned kids to mess with, such as in the areas of Hollywood , Tamarac, Cooper City, Weston, and especially Pembroke Pines (fuckers!). But most of the county is patrolled by the Broward Sheriffs Office, which is an underpaid, under funded, lazy and corrupt work force. I wouldn’t worry too much about them, but stay out of slummy and ghetto areas where they like to pull white people over and search their car (i.e. Systrunk). Use your head and you should be alright.

Where to buy marijuana in Fort Lauderdale, FL: Some of the clubs and bars such as the elbow room on the beach will have some locals hanging out looking to deal to some out-of-towners, but those guys will most likely rip you off with some South American crap. Downtown, Las Olas, and Riverfront are good areas to be social and meet some fellow stoners that will hook you up. Most in the Biz people are stoners so ask restaurant and bar employees where to hook up. Also, if you are willing to venture 2 or 3 miles, Dania Beach and Hollywood are infamous for breeding super stoners that can smoke you to the ground, probably because there isn't shit else to do in there towns but sit back and toke up.

Check out the Dania Beach pier area (although it’s also a secret late night gay hang out, watch out where you bend over) and the Hollywood OceanWalk area, OceansEleven beach bar, BU's, etc. Watch out for pesky French Canadians complaining about the quality of american herb (if you don't like it, go back to Montreal). Hollywood Beach is a colony of Quebec. Stoners tend to hang out in front of Haagen Dazs on the beach there, just look for surfer beach bum types, don't be too direct or they'll think you're cops! Marijuana Prices in Fort Lauderdale, Florida: Regs: Crypie 1.5 g = $10 1 g = $25 1/8 oz. = $15-20 1.5 g = $25 1/4 oz. = $25-30 1/8 oz. = $50-60 (depending on quality) 1 oz. = $60-90 1/4 oz. = $100 1 oz. = $300-400

Fort Lauderdale, Florida marijuana Brands: Figuring that Port Everglades is the largest cruise ship port in the world and goes all over the Carribean and South America, you can imagine that we have quite the selection. Most popular is Columbia and Mexican regs, compressed, and you'll be pickin some seeds, but usually decent, compared to what the rest of the country is smoking. Fort Lauderdale also has various homegrown hydro from local producers. Common strains are Hash Plant, Blueberry, Haze, and some krypie hybrids. If your lucky, you'll run into some awesome purple stuff from time to time.

City tale: Fort Lauderdale has been called Fort Liquordale for good reason, it is as much a drinking town as it is a smoking town, but watch out for pesky US-1 D.U.I. check points. Fort Lauderdale is also a fishing town and supposed to be the billfishing capital of the world with its annual competitions and boat shows and expos, so if you like stoned fishing or boating this is the place to be. Fort Lauderdales has also been called the Venice of America because of its many connecting canals and intracoastal waterways, it is almost as easy to get around by boat is it is by car. Best time to go is in the Winter, because the summer is rainy season and well know for its hurricanes and fiercy thunderstorms. There seems to be a annual weed drought around the end of September to middle October, although local suppliers can fill that gap that smugglers tend to open up, but stock up in late August just in case! visit - http://www.webehigh.com/city/detail.php?CITYID=2062

Places that have decriminalized non-medical cannabis in the United States Places that have decriminalized non-medical cannabis in the United States - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | Multiple places have decriminalized non-medical cannabis in the United States; however, cannabis is illegal under federal law. Gonzales v. Raich (2005) held in a 6-3 decision that the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution allowed the federal government to ban the use of cannabis, including medical use even if local laws allow it. Most places that have decriminalized cannabis have civil fines, drug education, or drug treatment in place of incarceration and/or criminal charges for possession of small amounts of cannabis, or have made various cannabis offenses the lowest priority for law enforcement.

Florida - Forums, Medical Marijuana Patients MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN FLORIDA | Download petition online here: Link This petition is sponsored by People United For Medical Marijuana. A recommendation from a licensed Florida medical physician will be required. Medical doctors being restricted from recommending any remedy to patients that’s been proven safe and effective should outrage everyone. Such a restriction should only be allowed in the case of extreme danger to citizens or society. This certainly is not the case with marijuana.

In all of recorded history there has never been a single death from the ingredients in marijuana. In 1988, after reviewing all evidence brought forth in a lawsuit against the government's prohibition of medical marijuana, the DEA's own administrative law judge (Judge Francis Young) wrote: "The evidence in this record clearly shows that marijuana has been accepted as capable of relieving the distress of great numbers of very ill people, and doing so with safety under medical supervision. It would be unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious for the Drug Enforcement Administration to continue to stand between those sufferers and the benefits of this substance in light of the evidence". visit - http://forums.ocala.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/8651007465/m/5271080419/r/4161001419

Currently there is a statewide petition drive to get the medical marijuana issue on the ballot to change the laws in Florida. As part of this three stage extravaganza, some of South Florida's top bands, spoken word artists and community activists will join together for patients’ and physicians’ right to use medical cannabis.

As a testament to the diversity of supporters for this cause, there will be a broad variety of musical styles including jazz, rock, reggae, folk, vocal harmonies, hip-hop, funk, experimental, tribal rhythms, traditional Peruvian, flamenco, world beat fusion, psychedelic grooves and various interactive jams. Johnny Dread, Sweetbone, The Southwood Project, Gypsy Cat, Kuyayky, E.L.E., UOM, Hoosha, Bodhi, The Int’l Language, The Tribe, Raging Geisha, Sun Dry Cilo, Andrew Bayuk and the Undeniables, Victoria, The Barkless Dawgs, Orrin Bolton, Steve Minotti, Omine, Frank Nitts, Mr Grim Reapa and more will be showcasing original music. Alonso, Rebecca “Butterfly” Vaughns, Jonathan Rose, Nikki Rodriguez and other spoken word artists will be presenting innovative spoken word poetry with musical accompaniment. In addition, Stacy Oh, Elviza and other dancers will be performing a variety of dance and movement pieces to energetic, rhythmic percussion and ambient tones. Coconut Grove Jugglers Exchange will be juggling various items and entertaining the crowds with a festival vibe. Gabriel Orenstein will be showcasing a special marijuana activist video that will be projected during the show. Plus Anibal Fernandez, Linx and other creative artists will be rendering a live painting demonstration to visually complement the music.

Irvin Rosenfeld and Elvy Musikka, legal medical marijuana patients and Directors for Patients Out Of Time, will be describing their experiences with obtaining medical marijuana through the federal government. The 13th Annual Medical Marijuana Benefit Concert will also feature a selection of community speakers who will present information about the issues including Norm Kent - National NORML Board of Directors, Sara Yousuf - criminal defense attorney, South Miami City Commissioner Walter Harris, Jeanne Baker - Florida State Board Member of the American Civil Liberties Union, Jayne King from the Florida Green Party, Michael Minardi P.A., Jeffrey Kennedy - unsanctioned medical marijuana patient awaiting trial, Shawn Heller from the Florida Justice Institute, Eric Stevens from the Committee for Sensible Marijuana Policy, Angel Hernandez from Americans for Safe Access, Robert Platshorn - author and convicted smuggler from the Black Tuna Gang, representatives of PUFMM, NORML of South Florida and other concerned citizens.

The event will work to raise funds and awareness for PUFMM, NORML of South Florida and Patients Out Of Time’s medical marijuana campaign and the protection of patients’ rights. Previously, a person's right to use medical necessity as a defense to marijuana charges has been upheld by several appeals courts in Florida. Marijuana has proven therapeutically useful in treating numerous medical conditions including muscle spasticity, arthritis, and the nausea related to AIDS and cancer chemotherapy. Recently, the City of South Miami passed a resolution to support medical marijuana on a statewide and national level - this is the first city in Florida to endorse the issue. About 700,000 Florida registered voters need to sign the petition in order for the issue to get on the ballot. Currently there are 15 states that have laws allowing marijuana to be used as medicine.

Florida, News - Medical marijuana legislation fails to advance in Tallahassee Medical marijuana legislation fails to advance in Tallahassee - Last Update: April 25, 2012 | The 2012 Florida legislative session has adjourned, and for the second year in a row, a constitutional amendment to allow medical marijuana in Florida was introduced, but never voted on. Rep. Jeff Clemens (D – Lake Worth), who introduced medical marijuana legislation last session, again introduced a bill in the House. Progress was made this session when Sen. Larcenia J. Bullard (D – Miami) introduced a companion bill in the Senate. This marked the first time that medical marijuana bills were filed in both the House and the Senate. Had the proposal, HJR 353/SJR 1028, passed through both the House and the Senate in Florida, it would have gone to the ballot and before the people of Florida. The ballot question would have needed 60% support in order to become law.

This is, of course, unfortunate news, but patients and activists in Florida will not be discouraged and will continue to press for compassionate legislation. Please email your representative and senator, and ask them to support medical marijuana legislation in the future. With 81% support for medical marijuana, the Florida Legislature needs to start listening to their constituency. If you are a patient who could benefit from legal access to medical marijuana, or a medical professional who supports changing Florida’s law to allow for medical use of marijuana, please contact state@mpp.org to see how you can help.   Visit - http://www.mpp.org/states/florida/

Suspicionless drug testing enacted in 2011 | The 2011 law signed by Gov. Scott requiring new applicants for temporary welfare assistance funded by the TANF to undergo, and pay for out of pocket, mandatory and suspicionless drug tests continues to face many welcome challenges and bad press. Last October, the ACLU sued to enjoin implementation of the law. The state has appealed that decision, and a hearing is expected in the coming months. In the meantime, early reports indicate that the law, when it was in effect, ended up costing the state more money than it saved, which is ironic considering cost savings was an argument used to justify the need for the law. The only other state that has passed a mandatory and suspicionless drug testing program for public assistance is Michigan. A federal appeals court struck down Michigan’s law in 2002 for being a constitutional violation of an individual’s right to privacy and their Fourth Amendment protection against warrantless searches. Fortunately, this precedent supports the ACLU’s claim that Florida’s new law will not pass constitutional muster. Unfortunately, it requires a legal challenge that will take time and money.   Visit - http://www.mpp.org/states/florida/

Court established defense | Despite the fact that a medical necessity defense has been established by Florida case law, patients remain at risk of being arrested and jailed because legislators have yet to enact a medical marijuana law. To review a 1991 case that outlines Florida's medical necessity defense, click here. Harsh penalties put everyone at risk | Although Florida courts, public opinion, and 16 other states (and D.C.) reflect a trend that recognizes the legitimate use of medical marijuana, Florida patients remain exposed to the state's harsh possession laws. Every single medical marijuana patient in Florida continues to live in fear because Florida's penalties for possessing small amounts of marijuana are among the nation's toughest. Please email your legislators and ask them to introduce legislation to decriminalize possession of up to an ounce of marijuana.

  some HISTORY  

Florida - News, Medical Marijuana Patients A Medical Marijuana Face-Off - Anna Scott - April 6, 2009 | Sarasota Herald Tribune - Marijuana is the only drug Cathy Jordan says helps her fight Lou Gehrig's disease. The 59-year-old mother smokes two joints every night to relieve depression and muscle spasms, and to boost her appetite. "It's keeping me alive," said Jordan in an interview at her home in Parrish. "Anti-depressants made me a zombie and other drugs had bad side effects. The crime is that people like me can't get it legally."

Floridians could vote for the first time next year to allow marijuana for medical use. A petition drive, started last week by an Orlando woman whose father has Parkinson's disease, would make the drug legal for any condition as prescribed by a doctor. The last time such an organized effort to legalize marijuana occurred in Florida was 1997, just one year after California became the first state to legalize medical marijuana. But in Florida the petitioners fell hundreds of thousands of signatures short of getting to a state referendum.

This time the movement faces some of the same roadblocks, such as opposition from law enforcement and a lack of support by the majority of the medical community. But the climate has become more favorable in ways that could shift the balance. A dozen other states have approved medical marijuana since Florida last tried to get it on the ballot, and four state legislatures are currently considering proposals. visit - http://www.mpp.org/states/florida/news/a-medical-marijuana-face-off.html

Florida - News, Medical Marijuana Patients Marijuana Goes Upstate, Florida moves into the number two spot when it comes to grow houses - By Francisco Alvarado - Published on November 07, 2007 | View a slideshow from several busted grow houses around South Florida. On October 18 at 10:22 p.m., Betty was watching television in the living room of her pleasant three-bedroom home in Lehigh Acres, a rural community of 90,000 that's about 12 miles east of Fort Myers. Her four-year-old daughter Nina was sound asleep in her room. Suddenly the 27-year-old single mom heard the unmistakable pop of gunfire. It was close, too close. Peeking through the curtain of her front window, she saw muzzle flashes and human silhouettes moving across the front yard of a house one block from her one-acre lot. She picked up the phone and dialed 911. visit - http://www.miaminewtimes.com/2007-11-08/news/marijuana-goes-upstate/

Florida - Action, Medical Marijuana Patients Landmark bill targeting marijuana grow houses becomes law - MyFox Gulf Coast | TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Attorney General Bill McCollum announced Tuesday that the Marijuana Grow House Eradication Act has been signed into law, giving Florida’s prosecutors and law enforcement essential tools to combat for-profit growers of marijuana. The new law, sponsored by Senator Steve Oelrich (R-Gainesville) and Representative Nick Thompson (R-Ft. Myers), passed as House Bill 173 during the 2008 Legislative Session and was signed into law by Governor Charlie Crist Tuesday. The bill was developed because of the increasing number of grow houses operating in the state and violent crime which tend to be associated with these operations. The new law makes it a second-degree felony to grow 25 or more plants, targeting for-profit growers who exploit Florida’s previous threshold of 300 plants. The law will also make it a third-degree felony to own a house for the purpose of cultivating, packaging and distributing marijuana and a first-degree felony to grow 25 or more plants in a home with children present. visit - http://stash.norml.org/florida-bill-targeting-marijuana-grow-houses-becomes-law/

Therefore, I was particularly interested to learn that on July 1, 2008 a new law went into effect in Florida called the Marijuana Grow House Eradication Act. The following is a news article about that Act: TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Attorney General Bill McCollum announced Tuesday that the Marijuana Grow House Eradication Act has been signed into law, giving Florida’s prosecutors and law enforcement essential tools to combat for-profit growers of marijuana. The New Law.

The new law, sponsored by Senator Steve Oelrich (R-Gainesville) and Representative Nick Thompson (R-Ft. Myers), passed as House Bill 173 during the 2008 Legislative Session and was signed into law by Governor Charlie Crist Tuesday. The bill was developed because of the increasing number of grow houses operating in the state and violent crime which tend to be associated with these operations. “Grow houses are not only furthering this dangerous drug trade within our state, they are bringing violent crime into our neighborhoods,” said Attorney General McCollum. “This new law will help protect our families and communities.” visit - http://www.justiceflorida.com/2008/08/articles/drug-laws/floridas-new-marijuana-grow-house-law/

Florida - News, Medical Marijuana Patients Florida Bill Would Create Penalties Targeting Marijuana Grow Houses October 03, 2007 by Micah Colvin | Marijuana grow houses are becoming increasingly common in the suburbs of Florida, and new cultivation techniques are making it 15 times as potent as marijuana available 20 years ago. The Florida State Attorney General Bill McCollum has teamed with state legislators in creating a bill that would stiffen penalties for home marijuana growers. Among other provisions in the Marijuana Grow House Eradication Act are enhanced penalties for having a child present in a grow house and having illegal drugs present in close proximity to children younger than three.

"As Florida's Attorney General, my priority is protecting our children and our communities from the devastation of illegal drugs," said Attorney General McCollum. "This legislation targets those who grow marijuana for profit." Florida is second only to California in the number of grow houses discovered last year. Almost two-thirds of Florida's counties, 41 out of 67, had at least one grow house in their boundaries. One pound of marijuana cultivated with these techniques has a street value equivalent to a pound of cocaine.

Growing 25 or more marijuana plants will earn a new, tougher penalty under the Act. Florida's current definition of trafficking has a minimum of 300 plants, while the federal government considers a for-profit grower a trafficker with only 100 plants. For-profit growers have taken advantage of those limits in the past. Owning a house specifically for the cultivation of marijuana will result in increased penalties as well. The bill also makes a provision for seized grow house equipment, which is currently housed for preservation of evidence, to be destroyed by law enforcement without any civil liberty after photographs or video recording of the evidence is taken.

Florida - History, Petition for Medical Marijuana The Marijuana Situation in Florida (2002) | In 1978, Rep. H. Lee Moffit spearheaded the swift passage of the “Controlled Substances Therapeutic Act,” a legacy of compassion in Florida’s legislative history. With nary a nay in either camber, Florida statutes 486.XX, was enacted under newly elected Governor Bob Graham. Floridians with glaucoma or cancer had legal protection from criminal prosecution. The bill was repealed after five years when legislative funding for a patient qualification review board was requested. The process of collecting the petitions throughout the state has produced two district benefits. Signatures are power. Piles of signed petitions by registered voters, one per page, are tools used to convince candidates that their constituents support candidates who support medical marijuana. The second advantage of collecting the petitions is the opportunity to interact with the public and educate them on the issue.

The third prong of the original plan is to lobby the legislature. FL CAN’s If Not You, Who, If Not Now, When? Project has been created to combine the power of our grass roots support with a dedicated campaign. The campaign was launched March 21st timed to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Shafer Commission Report. If you would like to join the If Not You, Who, If Not Now, When? campaign and would like to collect petitions see the Guide to Collecting Valid Petitions, if you would like to simply sign a copy of the petition then get the petition. visit - http://www.jug-or-not.com/can/florida.htm

Medical Cannabis, History - Letter: Medical Marijuana Informational Guide on Medical Cannabis | If you have ever heard of the song, “Lets Go Get Stoned,” as sung by Ray Charles or Joe Cocker, you know the lyrics were referring to getting high or using cannabis aka marijuana. This mind altering drug goes by other names as well; names such as weed, pot, joint, blunt, hash and mary jane are quite common among users. Cannabis is a plant that contains a chemical called cannabinoids or cannabinolidic acids. Another substance that is found in cannabis is THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, which gives the users that “high” sensation. When speaking of marijuana, the actual substance used in creating the high feeling comes from the leaves and flowering tops of the cannabis plant. Marijuana is considered to be a schedule 1 controlled substance today, because of the THC, which can be highly potent, depending upon the concentration factor of the THC.

Medical Cannabis - Proven : Cannabis is Safe Medicine Proven : Cannabis is Safe Medicine by Ian Williams Goddard | In reaction to medical cannabis access referendums on the ballots in Arizona and California, former presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George Bush signed a letter stating that they "categorically oppose'' access to cannabis for its many proven therapeutic uses such as the prevention of blindness and epileptic seizures. Their chief concern was that legal medical access would send the message that cannabis is safe. The presidents can, however, lay their safety concerns to rest because the scientific literature overwhelmingly confirms that cannabis is both an effective and safe medicine. The Cannabis Safety Profile. The journal PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEWS reports that decades of research prove that, "Compared with legal drugs...marijuana does not pose greater risks." Yet based upon mortality statistics, we can safely conclude that cannabis is one of the safest medical drugs known, for, while prescription drugs, defined as safe by the FDA, kill up to 27,000 and aspirin up to 1,000 Americans per year, cannabis kills 0 per year.

Some authors refer to social topics that require discussion even within the bounds of a narrow handling of medicinal aspects. “Cannabis and Cannabinoids; Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Therapeutic Potential”.

" It appears that Florida has no provision to allow medical marijuana patients access to medicine. I am a liscensed medical marijuana patient from southern Ontario, Canada. My family owns property in FLA and I would like to be able to spend time in Florida while maintaining my prescribed health care and medication regimen. Laws that keep people from their medication endanger the health of visitors to the state (opening up the state to legal liability). The same policy will also discourage some Canadian visitors altogether and likely prove very costly to the fragile Florida economy. I hope that those working to gain legal access to medical marijuana for Florida residents will take into consideration the status of mm patients visiting Florida from other states (with medical marijuana laws) and certainly Canada. Are efforts being made to allow Canadian mm patients visiting Florida and who possess a valid liscense to possess dried marijuana ( issued by Health Canada's MMAD ), the legal right to possess medical marijuana during their FLA stay? I hope that soon I can follow my physician's treatment plan AND have a winter getaway. Hopefully these issues can be resolved prior to the next cold winter.

" I am a Multiple Sclerosis patient, I was prescribed marinol however it is to exspencive to purchase with a disability and little pay. I have applied for assistance with the medication but there is nothing available for multiple sclerosis. I have sever spasms in both legs , along with sever pain. If medical marijuana was available them maybe I could afford to pay for some relief of my symptoms . It is sad that others can not understand what it is like to live a life with a chronic debilatating disease, the pain and spasms alone are not something you would wish on anyone : however I do hope that the people in Tallahassee that make the laws never have someone they love or they themselves have to live a life like I do. I have writtten letters and legislators do not get it , they think we are full of crap. I do wish they could just live in my shoes for one DAY!!!! It would change their minds on legalizing Medical Marijuana."

"The first thing to understand is that when the PEOPLE (you and me), want to legalize medical marijuana in Florida, is that Tallahassee (those currently in charge) have enacted several rules that must be followed exactly. The current Florida State government system makes it difficult for the common folks like you and me to directly change our Florida State Constitution. However; legalized medical marijuana laws have now been changed and adopted in several states. Since 1996, thirteen states have now made marijuana legal by prescription: California, Alaska, Montana, Michigan, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. If they could do it in those states surely we Floridians can make our great state of Florida number fourteen. visit - http://www.changethelaw.org/ "
