There are clear advantages to the Regulate Florida amendment.  Regulating Marijuana like Alcohol gives guidance to the State using a model which is already in place.  Allowing the Florida Legislature to write the rules regarding cannabis has been shown to be problematic. When given the opportunity to do the right thing for children who are suffering and dying from rare forms of seizure disorders, the POLITICIANS chose to delay the process by crafting rules that are not in the best interest of anyone who needs this medicine.  Without regulations they can, once again decide to limit the number of retail growers, processors and distributors to so few in number, that it will be an unworkable situation. And not everyone will be able to, or want to grow their own cannabis. Without a timeline for implementation, we are at the mercy of the politicians who have already shown their reluctance to do this properly.
