Its great to see that John Morgan has brought Jeff Kottkamp in to help get this important legislation passed. From what I've read, this is an intensely personal issue for him, because he lost his mother to Cancer. Every Cancer patient deserves the right to Medical Marijuana. Florida's Cancer patients shouldn't have to want a single minute longer, and its critical that the legislation be as broad as possible -- at a minimum at least as broad as amendment 2 was. The earlier attempt at passing a much more restrictive bill based on "Charlottes web" has been a dismal failure. Cancer patients, and others, that can benefit from Medical Marijuana shouldn't be used a "Political Footballs" and shouldn't have to jump through hoops and neither should their caregivers and the people who manufacture and supply Medical Marijuana to them. The guiding principle should be one of compassion. Marijuana has an unmatched safety profile. Its not just good medicine, its a "wonder drug" for a wide range of conditions that's incredibly safe -- much safer than any other medications used for the conditions it is used for by patients that use it.

Cannabinoid medicine fully exploited has the possibility of saving $1 trillion a year in medical expenses. Look up – cannabis NIH cancer – for one. Or – cannabis NIH diabetes – for another. There are many more.
