The Sunshine State voted Tuesday against a ballot initiative to allow the use of medical marijuana to treat amp;ldquo;debilitating diseasesamp;rdquo; such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, or HIV.

State lawmakers had signed into law a limited medical marijuana bill in June that allows the use of amp;ldquo;Charlotteamp;rsquo;s Web,amp;rdquo; a non-euphoric strain of cannabis, for the treatment of epilepsy, cancer, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but supporters said Amendment 2 was necessary to make medical marijuana available for more patients with a broader range of diseases. - Buzz Feed
