Florida could be the next medical marijuana state - SIGN THE PETITION FL VOTERS
People United For Medical Marijuana has received approval to circulate a petition to place this issue before Florida voters in 2010. This amendment would give patients the right to grow, purchase, posses and obtain marijuana for medical treatment.
According to medical reports there are more than 1.7 million seriously ill people in the state of Florida that could benefit from marijuana's medicinal properties. The uses for this medicine range from pain relief to stopping the spread of breast cancer. It has also been shown to facilitate stem cell implantation. Marijuana can be used to treat Alzheimer's, arthritis, cancer, glaucoma, Parkinson's and other conditions.
"Patients need a safe, affordable, and effective medication. We hope Florida will lead the nation in marijuana research to further its uses as a medicine." said Kim Russell, chairman of People United For Medical Marijuana.
Medical marijuana has documented history leading back 5,000 years. It could legally be used up until 1970 when the federal government said it had "no current accepted medical use" through the Controlled Substance Act. Within eight years of this act, a program was established to provide select patients medical marijuana. The Compassionate Investigational New Drug Program is still operating today, but accepts no new patients.
Thirteen states have agreed and passed similar legislation. Nine others are considering a move in this direction.

marijuana is just another type of tobacco grown in the ground on every single continent,I am not sorry to say this but the tobacco company could label marijuana as a ground grown tobacco plant.Any time they want.Any plant that can be heated to a certain temperature and be smoked, would be classified ground grown tobacco.Two smoke-able plants where found growing right next to each other.each had a name called tobacco each with a different potentse and color.
