An amendment to the Florida Constitution to legalize medical marijuana may be proposed on 2012 voting ballots, if one House Democrat gets his way.
Rep. Jeff Clemens of Lake Worth has submitted House Joint Resolution 353, which would put a medical-marijuana amendment up to the considerations of state voters next year.
The problem with that is the fact that both the Senate and the House have to pass the resolution by a three-fifths margin for the amendment to make it to the ballot.
Still, the amendment would take effect on July 1, 2013 if the issue were passed by the voters, and Clemens’ eight-page resolution gets into some of the details of how Florida’s medical-marijuana program would work.
