So there are rumors spreading around about amendment 2 only legalizing low thc cannabis and that there will only be 5 dispensaries across Florida.. I am to tell you that this is simply not true. Here are the facts people *1.The ballot language says nothing about how many medical marijuana treatment centers there will be. It is assumed there will be a sufficient amount of treatment centers across Florida with amendment 2 to ensure the availability to the people. The Florida blue ribbon committee will have the most say in that. The group is chaired by former Speaker and Amendment 2 author John Mills, who backs medical marijuana legalization, and vice chaired by state Sen. Alex Diaz de la Portilla, who opposes Amendment 2. They are doing this by implementing three guiding principles: Ensuring patient access, having a robust regulatory system, and the promotion of a free commercial enterprise. According to the group, the Blue Ribbon Commission is composed of legal and health experts, patient advocates, business leaders and government reps that will provide research and feedback and info on all things medical cannabis. The bottom line for the commission is to get a detailed plan to make medical marijuana available for Floridians who need it should the amendment pass. (5) “Medical Marijuana Treatment Center” means an entity that acquires, cultivates, possesses, processes (including development of related products such as food, tinctures, aerosols, oils, or ointments), transfers, transports, sells, distributes, dispenses, or administers marijuana, products containing marijuana, related supplies, or educational materials to qualifying patients or their personal caregivers and is registered by the Department. *2. Amendment 2 legalizes all forms of medical cannabis not just low thc oils! (4) “Marijuana” has the meaning given cannabis in Section 893.02(3), Florida Statutes (2013). Section 893.02(3)“Cannabis” means all parts of any plant of the genus Cannabis, whether growing or not; the seeds thereof; the resin extracted from any part of the plant; and every compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of the plant or its seeds or resin. The term does not include “low-THC cannabis,” as defined in s. 381.986, if manufactured, possessed, sold, purchased, delivered, distributed, or dispensed, in conformance with s. 381.986. Please share this information and Vote for amendment 2! #YesOn2
