Medical Marijuana Bill Stalled in Florida
Seven out of ten Floridians support medical marijuana
Eighteen states and D.C. have passed medical marijuana legislation but in Florida, the "Cathy Jordan Medical Cannabis Act" can't even get a hearing in the state Senate or House.
The bill has stalled in Tallahassee despite the fact that seven out of 10 Floridians support legalizing medical marijuana. Meanwhile a bill banning bongs was unanimously approved by a Senate committee.

The repubs in Florida are great on gun rights but there is no way in hell they are going to touch this. The religious base is scary here. Fortunately they stay out of the major cities, even they understand red light districts
