For today's weed news we go to the great state of Florida.
As of this week, the number of registered medical marijuana patients in Florida has officially surpassed 100,000!
The exact number as reported by the Department of Health's Office of Marijuana Use is 100,576 MMJ patients.
The state also reports having a total of 1314 doctors that are qualified to issue medical marijuana recommendations.
Medical marijuana was legalized by a wide margin over two years ago in Florida but because of a number of legal and administrative challenges, the rollout of the MMJ program has been severely hindered.
One of the major issues being ironed out is the state band on smokable cannabis. There is currently a legal battle being fought about this issue, with patients saying that their doctors are recommending they smoke weed rather than consume it in any other way. They feel that the government should not interfere with their doctor's orders, especially since medical marijuana is already legal in the state.
Another very important issue that is being clarified is grow rights for patients. A 77 year old Tampa strip club owner and cancer survivor recently won a court case in Leon County after his doctors testified that juicing whole plant cannabis was, according to them, the best way to keep his cancer from coming back.
Although it's clear that many lawmakers in Florida are doing what they can to stop the will of the people and access to medical marijuana for those who need it, I think it's only a matter of time before cannabis is available in every form imaginable to those who have a valid MMJ card.
So if you reside in Florida and consume cannabis, make sure you remain vocal and keep fighting the good fight.
And that's what's up in Florida!

This is good news. Once MMJ is the norm in there both parties will have to get with the program if they ever want to win another national election.

Truth. Even 10 years ago this didn't seem likely. Legal weed will happen soon. I would like to see progress with some of the psychedelics too because they have a lot of value while being pretty low risk but that is a much harder sell to the public lol.

I saw that headline a while ago. The thing with weed is that almost everyone has tried it so it is hard to tell people that it will hurt them. Psychedelics were always more niche drugs so fewer people know what they have to offer. The good thing is that DMT has become trendy lately and that might help things along.
