baby steps man. even in cali where no one wanted to vote for the bill that passed because of the downside... look at it now, you can have like a whole elbow on you and if you ain't got that card you just get a ticket.
here in sunny flaUSA you go to jail min 1 year if they find enough trichomes on your clothes to run a test and determine it's THC. come on man don't be that way, we need you. baby steps...
@morcheeba, reason i signed on besides it being a step in the right direction is that between all the legalese pretty much everyone can get weed if they want. 6veg and 6 in flower. covers all the shit i suffer from. we all suffer from...
but shhhh. don't let any of the cons find out how loose the language is and lets pray the judge(s) on the SC are pro weed and don't hammer that shit down for being too 'loopy'

Let me get on the soapbox here for a minute.
Hopefully after the amendment is passed the Legislature and the FL governing body will be proactive and realize the amount of money that will be missed. Hopefully a review of other states will provide another view so they don't have to recreate the wheel.
If you look at other states that have Medical available (CT missed the boat). Maine for example allows a caregiver to have 6 patients and grow 6 plants for each. There is a fee for a licensed caregiver (FL will allow caregivers but not grow for their patients, and Maine I believe has a fee for each patient a caregiver has). If a FL caregiver is not allowed to grow for their patients why would they even consider being a caregiver? Lost money by the state. Maine also only allows 1 dispensary for each county at a cost of $25K per year as I recall. The people I know in Maine (I grew up there) either do not have a dispensary opened at all or their hours of operation are very limited. The State makes more money from the caregivers than the dispensaries. Also the caregivers are NOT allowed to sell surplus to the dispensaries (only donate it to them), the caregivers are providing lower prices and better options than the dispensaries. As a patient where would you purchase your meds from if you lived in Maine?
Florida politicians need to be educated on the money aspect, we all know money talks.
Who is better educated right now? The people who need the meds, they will seek out the best option for them. We all know the insurance companies will not provide any RX money to be put into MMJ. Where will the seniors be purchasing their meds? Word of mouth will point them in the right direction when the time comes.
End of the soapbox thank you for your time.
I just read that it's going to be on the ballot in 2014. By a 4 to 3 decision it was approved. Below is a link to the news article.

ez JNUGG,
I could say the same to you morons voting it down.
just look at what voting prop19 has done for cali. it has given the opposition the ammunition to start outlawing grows. now a 5x5 legal grow cramps most but it would be legal that they may not be able to eliminate but w/ further activism it could have been increased.
im not excited about a no-patient grow but im illegal right now and if they write a regulatory structure that prevents me from growing my own then you may see me arrested for cultivation of cannabis as I proactively advocate for a patients right to grow.
getting locked up isn't something I look forward to but im fucking tired of not being able to call for help if I fall out of my chair just b/c I grow cannabis and moving to med-vill is not an option and I doubt I could afford the amount of meds I need each month.....hell @ $150 oz I would be coughing up $600 / mo and who thinks it would retail at $150.

Well Morecheeba,don't let me see you whining about how it fucked everything up,and now you're doing more time for cultivation since the penalties of cultivation will more than likely be more severe after ya'll vote this in.
Don'tvrush this shit,make sure it's being done properly (WHICH IT IS NOT!)!

bro I don't whine about shit......I make a stand full well knowing what the outcome will be and if people don't make a stand in the face of life changing consequences then NOTHING changes.
and if you fucking see me what ya going to do.
keep assuming the sky is falling bro.
peace

Baby steps folks, baby steps. It was not that long ago when the mere thought of Florida going medical was pure fantasy.
I for one will ALWAYS grow my own meds, it's in my blood and it's my passion. I'm voting for all those people whom don't have the know how or $$$ for equipment or are too disabled to cultivate there own. It is THOSE who stand to benefit immediately. Us growers will have to wait our turn.
I urge you think of your fellow man, those less fortunate. I've meet Cathy Jordan, and if my vote can help someone like her then put me down.
