Med Marijuana Could Cost Big Pharma $4B/year

I agree and I am in favor of this. I would have asked the question today if RXMD has any plans to integrate holistic, natural health remedies in addition to prescription based medical solutions.

The company has expressed an interest in MMJ.

Florida Governor Signs Medical Marijuana Legislation

By JOE REEDY, Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed legislation Friday to implement the medical marijuana amendment voters approved last year.

Amendment 2, approved by 71 percent of the voters in November, took effect on Jan. 3 and required that laws had to be in place by July 3 for how patients can qualify and receive the drug. Scott has noted that the constitutional amendment "was passed overwhelmingly" and said the law "make sense for our state."

"This is a good day for sick and suffering Floridians. The signing of this law provides a framework for the future of our state's medical marijuana system and while it is far from perfect, it will begin providing access to patients," said Ben Pollara, the executive director of Florida for Care.

Patients who suffered from epilepsy, chronic muscle spasms, cancer and terminal conditions were allowed under laws Scott signed in 2014 and 2016 to receive either low-THC cannabis or full strength medical marijuana. This law adds people with HIV and AIDS, glaucoma, post-traumatic stress disorder, ALS, Crohn's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and similar conditions.
