Florida residents....Vote YES on Amendment 2 for Medical...

[tigerGUY]

Marijuana. Both my wife and I would benefit as well as anyone else with chronic severe pain. Which only makes my positive urine tests OK...like I have given a shit for over 50 years.

One step at a time for legalization.

 

[other1]

We have medical MJ here in Mass and we are voting on all around legalization tomorrow. The outcome should be rather interesting. Some of the medical MJ isn't anything great but some of it is pretty good. Good luck with your situation in Florida!!!

 

[CUFreeze]

And NO to amend 1!!!

The solar energy bill. Basically big power companies wanting to control solar energy. charge people for using it.

Their advertising is really deceptive though and will trick people into voting yes.

Low information/low intelligence voters...yes. Normally the group that is supported by your tax dollars. It won't pass.

It's only a matter of time before it's legal nationwide.

Medical marijuana is legal in all 50 states. It is fda approved and called marinol or dronabinal. I do research on marijuana. Who smokes real medicine? Anybody smoke their high blood pressure meds, their antidepressants etc. Smoked anything is recreational! There was medical whiskey during prohibition. Go to substance abuse.gov. I know people like to get high and spreading this nonsense. If people want to label it recreational then fine but don't mislead people. As a teacher at a local medical school and doctor I can tell you we do not teach med students how to dose a blunt of loud to cure what ails ya!

 

[dpotter24]

And for Donald J. Trump!

VOTE "PERHAPS" ON PROP 4

It should be left up to the States..,..period. The Constitution gave us State's rights. Greedy, POS and shortsighted politicians took them away.

With the heroin epidemic, all stemming from the over prescription of opiate based narcotics, and marijuana being a far less addictive and equally as effective alternative ..... I don't think it will take long. If Obama wants to be a boss he'd sign a executive order legalizing marijuana nationwide.

There are only two reasons why it is illegal
1) cartel drug money is in the pockets of our politicians
2) alcohol and pharmaceutical lobbyist money is in the pockets of our politicians

My dad is currently on Marinol to counter chemo side effects, and I wish he could take the real thing. First it would be a hell of a lot cheaper. Secondly, from what I have read, there are some differences between how Marinol gets digested and broken down into usable components, versus the much easier pathway via the lungs of inhaled THC. Particularly if he was using a vaporizer and not smoking it.

It's not an option for him so glad to have the FDA approved and expensive as hell Marinol. But it's not as simple of an issue as your rant suggests.

What with the crazy cost of pain killers and the crazy money the drug companies make the last thing they want to see is widespread legalization of medical MJ.

In Florida anything can happen.

FIFY

He has a valid point - leave it up to the states to decide. Things progress much more naturally.

 

[BroMontana]

NJ will be the last state to legalize for sure. So strict on everything. But you can guarantee when it finally happens, I'm going to roll a thick blunt and light it right in front of a police station

Your governor is addicted to food but he's dead set against pot.

You mean most people don't pour their small bag of m&ms into a larger bag?

Which only makes food better.

 

[pharout73]

Why do we have laws anyway...

 

[pchimenti]

Already voted no to 1 and yes to 2. 1 should not even be on the ballot.

Why doesn't he smoke pot? Or eat it?

Already got you covered John!

The solar energy bill. Basically big power companies wanting to control solar energy. charge people for using it.

You are mistaken. Read the actual wording on the ballot.

"This amendment establishes a right under Florida's constitution for consumers to own or lease solar equipment installed on their property to generate electricity for their own use. State and local governments shall retain their abilities to protect consumer rights and public health, safety and welfare, and to ensure that consumers who do not choose to install solar are not required to subsidize the costs of backup power and electric grid access to those who do."

I voted yes because I don't want to be responsible for paying for a backup system for those that chose alternative energy. This bill allows you to use alternative energy and protects the rest of us choosing not to...

 

[utgolfer]

Too old to start breaking the law-never has used it before. My brother or I would have to track some down from a friend who smoked. We don't smoke (currently). It's illegal to possess in SC so there is that added risk as well.

those boxes come with a bag inside

Marinol's much longer onset of action, combined with the inability to titrate doses, make it an unrealistic option for treatment of pain. On the other hand, the QUICK onset of action, combined with the ability to titrate to pain, make smoked marijuana a much more reasonable option for the treatment of pain.

Not to mention that Marinol is waaaay more expensive that the natural stuff.

He's a libertarian nutjob that believes in consilracy theories, but not a religious zealot and believes the government shouldn't tell you ANYTHING.

AND, if your objection to marijuana is based on the fact that if is smoked, as opposed to taken orally, I can tell you there are MANY drugs that are nebulized, so inhalation is a very legitimate route of administration.
