This is Medical Marijuana that was on the ballot.

Besides, it is a moot point now. The narrow minded voters of Florida saw to that.

Case closed.
Actually, unfortunately, the case is far from closed. Its sponsor has further plans to pursue his dream of getting rich(er) from pot.

It seems to me the intelligent, well informed, concerned voters of Florida saw the proposed law was poorly drafted, with lots of ambiguity and loopholes and would likely be a step toward legalizing recreational cannabis. Just look at who sponsored it! It did not come from a group of oncologists, ophthalmologists or other medical professionals. It came from a profane trial attorney with multiple DUI's.
