This fellow apparently has billboards up since last year on the east coast of Fla. I'm going to make a donation and have already referred several people here on the west coast to him.

The Silver Tour
https://www.thesilvertour.org/

There's 18 Million People in Fla. Florida gets a lot of tourist money from people in the northeast, midwest, South, and is a retirement mecca of the USA. Miami is the Banking headquarters for Latin America and several beaches in Fla have consistently scored among the finest in the world.

Legalized Cannabis just makes sense for any society which claims to be steeped in freedom and especially if kept in a narrow box for medical use, there's certainly millions of retirees who will benefit as will millions of Floridians who are sick and in need of relief now.

The biggest obstacle I see is they're also the most programmed group of people.

Remember that they grew up with anti-cannabis propaganda in a "Pills are wonderful" world.

Yes, they need cannabis the most. Mostly they need cannabis so they can break their programming about cannabis and pills.

Catch 22.

Stay Safe!

Robert Platshorn is one of my heroes. IMO he's the light at the end of the tunnel for Floridians who want sensible cannabis laws, and the community needs to support him. Remember, old people vote.

Oh you know it. During the "elections ) Ron Paul completely avoided Fla. We watched the seniors crowd around either obama or..........newt gingrich. It doesn't get more brainwashed than that. Socialism/Fascism , that's the choice.

I have a business that I built 30 years ago. We own property. We're going to give it hell but if it doesn't look possible in 2014, well..............

Let me say this however, in MY experience over the last 30 days, 100% of the seniors are in favor of it. 100%. I've purchased a few hundred O'Shaunghnessy's and they are currently in 3 retail establishments along the Tamiami Trail ( Tampa to Miami Trail ), for those who don't know their website is https://www.beyondthc.com

I'm a few years away from being a "senior". My older brother is 7 years older than me. He supported the war in Vietnam, I threw things at police and did my share of counter revolution in the late 60's early 70's and was forced to enter the service after being caught with 2 joints on 4th of july.

HIs group is who is in charge now. Fuckers. My group will be in charge next and a one sentence description to mark the differences is he grew up listening to the Beach Boys ( who I like too ) and driving what is now called "muscle cars" and I grew up listening to Hendix and I drove a VW.

That's how profound a difference between the 2 so close age groups.

Bobs great. We were all doing a lot of big things in s/Fla back then. Try to visualize it was so rampant we would run pick up trucks loaded with bales up and down A1A in Ft Lauderdale. NO TARP to cover sometimes, just too busy. I remember having an entire building on Hendricks Isle we used for a warehouse. He got nailed big. I was caught with 1500 lbs and that was the end of my fun for awhile. I went on vacation in max security, got 8 years. Did a bullet. That was in 1981. The biggest guy got nailed with a tractor trailor loaded with mersh and a million ludes. He got 30 days and got to have his body guard in the jail with him. Nice huh?

And you are right, they do vote, something young people don't do. So I agree with what he's doing 100% and am about to make a donation so I can get one of those cans that Irv gets

Robert is a great man, a cannabis warrior, and he deserves all the respect and recognition he can get. He spent more time in prison than anyone else over the weed, and of course lost everything. He is still being hounded by the DEA for his activism now. They want to beat him down and teach him what is right.

Momentum is building in this state! Some very BIG shakers/movers have come out and openly support MMJ. And just as important, folks with DEEP pockets are pushing this. The stars will align next year for Florida!

In today paper a local man is trying to use MMJ defense in court in Pasco Co. Sure hope it works for him.

Florida is one of the few states that are not medical but let you argue medical necessity. As long as the person is not caught with an obscene amount of plants or scales & baggies an stacks of cash then medical necessity can be successfully argued.Of course it helps to actually have a medical condition
The tides are slowly turning, I predict we will be a MMJ state in 2014!

Can you please cite any specific such defence(s) in Fla that have been sucessful? If they exist a lot of people who would like to use that same defence if an arrest took place.
