LANE: ON MEDICAL POT, PUBLIC WAY AHEAD OF LEADERS

On medical marijuana, the public is way ahead of officialdom.

Statewide, 71 percent of Florida voters voted in favor of the medical marijuana amendment last November.  In Flagler County, the margin was the same.  In Volusia County, 73 percent voted to approve.

Overwhelming support.  Particularly in a state like Florida which is known sharp political divisions on most issues.  Even so, the Legislature was so reluctant to pass legislation putting the amendment into effect that nothing was approved during the regular spring session.
