Florida Medical Marijuana Backers Seek Law, Ballot Drive in 2016
Florida medical marijuana backers seek law, ballot drive in 2016 – Supporters said Friday that the push to legalize medical marijuana in Florida is continuing with a two-pronged campaign, and shared plans to mount another ballot drive in 2016 as a way to pressure state lawmakers to consider legislation permitting prescription pot.
Last year, a constitutional amendment to legalize medical marijuana in Florida fell just short of the 60 percent approval needed to pass in the state. The campaign’s main sponsor, Orlando attorney John Morgan, said he has restarted a new petition campaign, seeking to convince state legislators to make Florida the 24th state to legalize medical marijuana.
The state Department of Health would set qualifications for caregivers allowed to administer the drug.
