Supporters of medical marijuana amendment 'disappointed' by Florida Medical Association's opposition

http://jacksonville.com/news/health-and-fitness/2014-08-06/story/supporters-medical-marijuana-amendment-disappointed-florida

Sponsors of a ballot amendment to legalize medical marijuana in Florida say the recent opposition to the amendment by a state medical lobbying group is misguided.

The Florida Medical Association came out Monday against Amendment 2, saying the measure doesn’t properly protect patients.

In criticizing the amendment, the organization urged its membership to refuse to prescribe medical marijuana if the amendment passes until products are approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

The amendment, which goes before Florida voters Nov. 4, would legalize medical marijuana in Florida for certain patients.
