Later this year, on December 5, the Florida Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether a proposed constitutional amendment to legalize medical marijuana should go before state voters.
Supporters of the push to legalize are working to get enough signatures to put the issue on the 2014 ballot.
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is challenging the proposed amendment, calling it misleading and arguing it would allow for use of the drug in limitless situations.
The activism in Florida got a boost when a recent poll found 58 percent of Americans support legalizing marijuana for medical use.
The most prominent spokesman for the effort is Central Florida attorney John Morgan. He joined Melissa Ross via telephone to discuss the latest developments in the marijuana debate and take listener calls.
