Very true. Especially
’The Florida law is … designed to make money for the state and for the doctors who pretend to be regulating the sale of Marijuana [due] to … a medical condition…. if they are willing to pay exorbitant amounts of money every year to the doctors and to the state This is the law, and I follow it, knowing that this is the primary medication that is preventing greater—or possibly complete—loss of what little is left of my eyesight due to glaucoma.
In other states where marijuana is legal, for example Washington, the cost can be half, more or less, of what it is here, there are no ridiculously high—and ongoing—fees to state and doctor, and yes it’s true too that those who use it recreationally can buy it as freely as they can buy liquor.
I cannot even go through security at the airport, since TSA is federal and thus illegal; documented medical necessity is irrelevant. Does this make sense?

Please provide documentation for what otherwise sounds like a glibly stated opinion. I can speak only for myself when I say that I am not ‘lazy,’ ‘unemployable’ (though I am retired), and most certainly not on ‘public assistance’! Thank you. (And what is ‘MSM’?)
