People United for Medical Marijuana has collected far more than signatures than it needs to get a Florida Supreme Court review of its proposed constitutional amendment, the Miami Herald reports. The group will stop sending out volunteers and paid signature-gatherers, pending the court’s review of the proposed language. If that is approved, the measure legalizing the use of marijuana for medical purposes it will appear on the November 2014 ballot, where it will need a “yes” from 60 percent of voters to be enacted.
Meanwhile, St. Petersburg-based Drug Free America Foundation is outraged by Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s change of heart on medical marijuana -- a stance that the Bradenton Herald approves. Gupta’s documentary, “Weed,” is set to re-air on CNN Friday at 10 p.m.
