One of the medical marijuana industry's top legal consultants -- Miami criminal attorney, Jeffrey Feiler -- says if approved in Florida, three main winners will be government, the people and their doctors.
MIAMI, Sept. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The three groups who stand to gain the most if Florida's Medical Marijuana Constitutional Amendment is approved in November are the state's government, its citizens and their doctors, according to the industry's top legal consultant, Miami attorney Jeffrey Feiler.
Feiler, who played a critical role in providing legal advice in connection with the legalization of medical marijuana in Colorado, said the State of Florida will gain from tens of millions of dollars in new tax revenues just as Colorado and Washington have received from legalizing medical marijuana, plus thousands of new jobs created.
If Florida voters approve the legalization Amendment on the November ballot, Feiler said the other two winners are the people, a majority of whom want it, and their doctors who will be free to research the many promising health benefits of Florida Medical Marijuana, which is why doctors like CNN's Sanjay Gupta favor its legalization.
Feiler acquired a great deal of knowledge during the development of the Colorado Medical Marijuana industry starting in 2010. Feiler has offices in Miami and Colorado providing legal advice to anyone who wants to grow or dispense commercially-viable Marijuana.
"Perhaps the biggest winner will be doctors and the medical community in general who will be free to investigate the potential medical benefits of marijuana for patients with diseases ranging from cancer and Multiple Sclerosis to Alzheimer's disease," said Feiler. With the passage of Florida Amendment 2 medical marijuana patients in Florida will have access to life saving medicine.
The Florida Amendment clearly states that patients and caregivers are "not subject to criminal penalty" and clarifies that Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTC), or simply, retailers who store, grow and infuse product, will be registered as commercial enterprises.
"Growing of the Cannabis plant is not simple, especially when it is to be done as an organic medication, prohibiting the use of chemicals to control pests," Feiler said.
