LET MEDICAL MARIJUANA AMENDMENT PASS

Attorney General Pam Bondi is alarmed the proposed medical marijuana
amendment would give doctors unrestrained discretion to prescribe
marijuana for any condition.

But doctors already have that discretion for morphine and Oxycotin -
equivalents of heroin - and Desoxyn, the trade name for
methamphetamine, which is usually prescribed for kids.

If we trust our doctors with these extremely powerful drugs, why is
she afraid to trust them with the much, much safer marijuana?

Don't let unreasonable, baseless fears block a good
law.
