Title:
The medical marijuana debate is headed to Florida!
Message:
Great news! Rep.
Jeff Clemens (D – Lake Worth) held a press conference earlier today to announce
a proposed constitutional amendment to allow medical marijuana in Florida. The
proposal, HJR
1407, would have to first pass through both the House and the Senate in
Florida. 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.
This is, of course,
great news, but introduction is just the first step. Please
call your representative and ask that he or she lobby House leadership to give
this bill a hearing. With 81% support for medical marijuana nationwide, the
Florida Legislature should allow its constituents to decide on this issue themselves.
For more information

Network.
Thank you for your
support.
