Could Florida Be The Next Medical State?

Feared what it would be like under a 'run government like a company' governor thought.

Florida is Americas retirement home, go go go mmj! Doesn't Florida have a big problem with pain relief centers?

I wouldn't call it a big problem, I'd call it H U G E! In 2010, Florida Dr's prescribed over 41 million doses of Oxycontin. In Georgia, the total was about one million. In fact, Florida Dr's prescribed more pain killers than EVERY DR combined in the US.

Do I think we'll get MMJ? No fucking way. Not as long as big pharma is in the hearts and minds of most pain pill addicted Floridians. I expect to see many dis-information commercials paid for by Pharma 527's that lie and distort the facts about MMJ vs pain pills....

Damn. I love Florida. How is the government allowing the sales of pharmaceuticals and pot is still illegal! This Shit pisses me off man.

You and me both, AND, our new Republican governor that wants to run the state like a business is dropping plans for a prescription pill database that was going to help rid us of pill mills. This Gov is after one thing, big business and kick backs... If he runs Florida like he did his last business, he'll be pleading the 5th and paying record medicare fraud fines in no time....
