The Maestro, John Morgan

For nearly half a decade, that delightfully maniacal, entertaining force of nature named John Morgan has made legalizing medical marijuana a big personal priority. We take Morgan’s motivation for this cause for what he says it is, but if he intended to use medical marijuana to showcase the pathetic hypocrisy and abandonment of philosophical principles so artfully accomplished by the Florida GOP on this issue, he could not have chosen a more perfect path.

Florida’s Constitution now contains language allowing its residents to use medical cannabis to relieve their pain and suffering. Even a first-year law student would understand that after the passage of a constitutional amendment, the legislature has a job to further determine how pot is grown, delivered, bought, and sold, and this should all be determined by statute. From there, the executive branch – the Governor or the Department of Health would do the job of regulating and rulemaking to provide any necessary further detailed regulation.
