There has to be something in the water down in Sunshine State. Since Ponce DeLeon stumbled on the state in seach of the fountain of youth, the great state of Florida have birthed some of the weirdest and wildest stories. It’s no shock that the ID channel would dedicate a whole show series to the state. But the bill that Fort Myers Rep. Ray Rodrigues unveiled recently would make anyone scratch their head and say, “hmmmm.”
Per Miami New TimesÂ
Fort Myers Rep. Ray Rodrigues finally unveiled the first medical weed regulations — and they would ban people from smoking marijuana or using edibles. Patients would also be prohibited from vaporizing weed if they aren’t terminally ill.
In fact, Rodrigues’ bill is more restrictive than the laws that existed before Florida overwhelmingly voted to legalize medical weed.
“It goes further than the current statute in terms of restricting medical marijuana,” says Ben Pollara, United for Care’s campaign director. “There was unanimous agreement that the new amendment would expand use.”
Rodrigues’ bill, which he introduced Tuesday, defines the “medical use” of cannabis as “the acquisition, possession, use, delivery, transfer, or administration of marijuana authorized by a physician certification.”
Saying that Rodrigues bill is confusing is an understatement. If a person is able to get cannabis or cannabis oil, how are they supposed to use it?Â
