Help sick Floridians get access to Medical Marijuana as approved in 2016
2 years later and still patients are waiting! Gov. Rick Scott and the FL DOH keep taking this to court to stop legal use. Most recently, just this past Friday.
Why is this important?
Voters in 2016 approved the use of medical marijuana, including both low and high THC types, for use by ill Floridians. This approval carried no restrictions of what form of marijuana (oil, edible, smokable, etc) this use would be. ALL forms were approved by 71% of the people! "Our" government has no right to reject the will of the voters.
Deadline issue: Only very ill people can be approved to use MMJ. These people include those actively dying of some diseases that cause considerable pain. Compassion and quick resolution is needed to keep ill people from suffering any longer.
Deadline: We are far past the initial deadlines to be implemented per the 2016 vote. People are suffering, getting worse and losing more quality of life. Others have died.
By not permitting the use of smokable marijuana flower, the FL government is forcing patients to use other preparations that do not show their effects immediately. Users can accidentally use far too much, or too little making it ineffective, because only the smoked flower reveals its effects immediately. It also wears off the fastest making it the most safe way to use MMJ.

This illegal, immoral, lacking in any empathy or compassion, continuation of the FL Legislature, Governor and Department of Health must end now! Demand they follow the will of FL voters and implement the law as intended by the voters. Permit the use of smokable marijuana.
