Amendment 2 on Medical Marijuana Garners New Opposition

The Florida Council of 100 announced on Friday it was opposing Amendment 2, a proposal to increase medical marijuana use in the Sunshine State. To pass, Amendment 2 needs 60 percent on the ballot in November.

The dangers of the use of Schedule I drugs such as marijuana are well-documented, said Steve Halverson, the chairman of the Florida Council of 100, on Friday. The provisions of Amendment 2 threaten Floridians quality of life because they are too nebulous, too loose and too lacking in common-sense protection from inappropriate and dangerous use.

The comprehensiveness of the recent Charlottes Web legislation demonstrates the extreme care and precision with which the issue of drug legalization must always be contemplated, added Susan Pareigis, the president and CEO of the Florida Council of 100. State policymakers are fully equipped to address such topics without cluttering the Constitution with dangerously ambiguous new programs.
