5 things you won’t see in Florida’s medical marijuana regulations 08/04/2014 The things you won't see in the law are:
-
Suggestions on addressing the local zoning regulations. “We can’t fix local zoning, so that has to be negotiated at the local level,” Tschetter said.
-
Suggestions that pharmacists should be a part of the bill.
-
Certain recommendations on business practices, such as requiring that the business can’t be sold for two years, that they have in-state partners, that they have certain kinds of insurance. Those ideas aren't in the law itself, drive up cost and could delay implementation,Tschetter said.
-
What medical conditions should qualify for the use of medical marijuana. That’s defined in the law.
-
The legal status of the source material. “Once it's here it’s legal,” Tschetter said.

Marijuana and Mental Illness 07/30/2014 Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal drug in America: approximately one in 10 adult Americans report having used marijuana in the past year. In recent years, laws addressing the use and possession of marijuana have been changing, and many states—including Colorado, California, Massachusetts and others—have passed regulations either legalizing marijuana for medical purposes or decriminalizing the non-medical use of marijuana. While different groups of professionals have had varied responses to the implications of this new legislation, mental health professionals have been largely united in expressing their concerns of the negative impact marijuana has for people with mental illness. Furthermore, the scientific data is clear that regular marijuana abuse is linked with increased risk of legal troubles and jail time, difficulties at school and at work, as well as abuse of alcohol and other drugs.
