		<description>THE LAKMAKERS IN FLORIDA SHOULD ALL BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE. THE DON&#039;T CARE WHAT THE POPULUS SAY&#039;S OR CARES ABOUT.
THEY JUST WANT TO MAKE THEIR OWN MONEY UNDER THE TABLE.
JUST ASK 10 PEOPLE WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT POLITICIANS.</description>

		<description>I adding to my comment above:
 I have done some research into the newer and latest in growing technology. LED technology was introduced to the inside horticulture market not too long ago. The two of the benefits are NO HEAT and lower electric bill which means for the horticulture enthusiast it is harder to detect thier gardens.( called labs to the prohibitionists}.
My conclusion based on this research is that the legislation was enacted not only for those reasons stated above but the main thrust was to counteract this new technology until they conjur up more legislation or make technological advances in the areas of detection either on the LED technology or biological controls in which I am sure they are working on feverishly and as fast as they can to tip the scales.
It reminds so much of radar detectors and laser guns. Someone is making big money on both sides of the fence and they do not care who or what is wrong or right, ethical and moral only to keep the ruse going as long as one can and make the money all along the way.


The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this.&quot; Albert Einstein</description>

		<description>despite the positive outlook of this article and while most states seem to be moving forward towards humanness, decriminalization, and safe medical marijuana(14 states at present) , Florida is moving backwards towards feudal, draconian tyranny. In fact Florida Canabis laws are MORE SEVERE than even federal laws. And changes have been made this year to make them more severe. Mere possession of small amounts can land you in jail for 10 years. Florida legislators are too busy making Florida’s marijuana laws tougher than federal law to worry about sick and dying patients this year. look into Steve “enemy of the people” Oelrich (R-Gainesville) and Representative Nick “Draconian Law Sponsor” Thompson (R-Ft. Myers) and Charlie&quot;Special Interest Group Whore” Crist</description>
