FLORIDIANS FOR FREEDOM, INC
MELBOURNE, FLORIDA

Floridians for Freedom is dedicated to ending cannabis prohibition in Florida. We have come to believe that good cannabis laws can only be created when cannabis is constitutionally legal. Special interest groups are fighting all legislative attempts to craft good policies and the conflict with federal laws colors every decision. Once the Florida Constitution protects the rights of free adults to possess, use and cultivate cannabis, we will have the proper foundation for the passage of laws governing public safety. Recent events in medically legal states confirm that prosecutors will parse the wording in any medical cannabis law to allow them to keep arresting caregivers, even patients. Very few states with medical marijuana laws have protections to keep police from taking kids away from parents, denying public housing, firing patients, etc. The best solution is legalization. Under the current market, no one is using child-proof containers and cannabis vendors certainly are not checking ID’s. Once cannabis is legal, then we can lobby our legislators to pass strict laws and heavy penalties for selling cannabis to minors.
