FL: Email your representative – lobby for a medical marijuana hearing!

Published: March 24, 2011

Although Rep. Jeff Clemens (D – Lake Worth) introduced his resolution to put a medical marijuana question on the 2012 ballot over a week and a half ago, it still has not been scheduled for a hearing. The resolution was referred to the Health and Human Services Committee and the Criminal Justice Subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee. Please email your representative and ask him or her to lobby House leadership to give this resolution a public hearing.

After going through the committee process, HJR 1407 would have to pass through both the House and the Senate in Florida with 60% support in each chamber. If this happens, a ballot question will be put before the people of Florida to add a medical marijuana provision to the state constitution. The ballot question would need to get 60% support in order to become law. Write your representative and ask that she or he help get the process moving by asking for a hearing on HJR 1407.

Thank you for your support.
