Ballot Battle of Medical Marijuana

One of the major issues facing Florida voters this year is whether or not to legalize full strength medical marijuana. Both sides only have five weeks to attempt to persuade others of their opinions, and so far millions of dollars have been spent on adds regarding Amendment 2.  A poll last week showed that 73 percent of likely voters support Amendment 2, and in order for it to be added to the state constitution, it needs to have 60% support. The opposition to this amendment greatly fear it will promote drug abuse by legalizing it. There have already been programs to develop a strain of marijuana with lower THC to prevent the euphoric high it gives.  This drug went on sale in July.
