FLORIDA VOTERS DECIDE IF MEDICAL MARIJUANA TREATMENT SHOULD EXPAND

The last time Floridians faced the subject of medical marijuana on the ballot, the measure just barely failed to garner enough support needed to become law.

This time appears to be different.  There's still resistance, but the large wave of criticism from various groups like the Florida Sheriff's Association is gone.  Polls indicate the ballot measure again named Amendment 2 appears to be coasting toward passage.

The most recent survey released by the University of North Florida indicates 73 percent of voters approve of the amendment, significantly more than the 60 percent needed for it to become law.  Backers of the Amendment say stripping away the so-called loopholes and timing is key.
