Medical marijuana is back on the ballot in Florida. Amendment 2 could expand access to the drug for some severely ill patients in the state.
Supporters of the constitutional amendment say it would provide access to medicine those patients can’t currently get under Florida's existing medical marijuana program. Critics, however, say Amendment 2 has several loopholes that would open the door to legal pot smoking.
