If only Florida residents (patients) could merely travel to a MMJ state to receive their card, then be referred to a caregiver to acquire a couple ounces of medical grade MJ to ship back to their Florida residence - like visiting the Mayo Clinic for a condition.

If my test show marijuana then they cut off my pain meds which would probably literally kill me. I have been on methadone for 7-8 years because of knee, back, and neck problems just for a start, and marijuana would greatly help with my problems that are associated with taking the pain meds, nausea, not sleeping, and the pain itself, not to mention glaucoma, I could go on and on but because of the federal crap my pain doctors won't allow it. However its ok if I go to the bar and drink what kind of crap is this, fortunately I don't drink, or I probably would be dead. Changes need to be made and soon.
