SUPPORT LEGALIZING POT

Florida's voters are embarking on the most crucial election of their
lives - voting for or against the use of medically-authorized
marijuana. That marijuana can be fully taxed and regulated, as with
alcohol and tobacco, is a good choice for our state's lawmakers to
make.

Jeb Bush and most conservative politicians, of course, will resort to
the think-of-the-children approach by attacking marijuana users and
even seriously ill patients. It's unsurprising that more than 80
percent of residents in Florida are overwhelmingly supporting the
legalization of marijuana, while 10 percent oppose it.

Can Congress part ways with its narrow-mindedness and support
legalization of marijuana for a better country?
