Medical marijuana support high ahead of Florida vote

Medical marijuana is displayed in glass jars at Los Angeles' first-ever cannabis farmer's market on July 4, 2014 Support for legalizing medical marijuana in Florida gathered steam ahead of a November referendum, with a poll out Monday showing 88 percent in favor of the measure. Only 10 percent of residents opposed legalization, the survey by Quinnipiac University found. Florida took a preliminary step in that direction in May when the state legislature allowed a variety of marijuana called "Charlotte's web," which contains a minimal amount of the drug's main psychoactive substance, to be used to treat diseases like epilepsy and cancer. The Quinnipiac survey also found that 55 percent of Floridians were in favor of "allowing adults in Florida to legally possess small amounts of marijuana for personal use," while 41 percent were against it.
