BILL, NOT AMENDMENT

Regarding "Consider Maine's program" (Your Views, Jan. 22) by John 
Chase of Palm Harbor: He's right. The Florida Legislature should pass 
a bill regarding medical marijuana that treats it just like any other 
doctor-prescribed opiate. Why amend the Florida Constitution? If a 
constitutional amendment passes, it would be almost impossible to 
change if it needs to be tweaked. Whereas with a legislative bill, it 
could be done easily.
