Signature Gathering Begins for 2014 Florida Medical Marijuana Legalization Amendment

July 11th

TALLAHASSEE, FL — The Florida Secretary of State gave final approval Wednesday for signature gathering to begin on a proposed medical marijuana legalization constitutional amendment aimed at the 2014 ballot.

The initiative sponsors, United for Care, have until February 1, 2014, to gather about 700,000 valid voter signatures to place the measure before voters.  If activists are successful in placing the initiative on the ballot, it would require a 60% approval from voters to pass.

The campaign is estimated to cost about $3 million, and the group has raised $200,000 so far.  

Legal analysts say a successful campaign in the Sunshine State could cost upwards of $10 million, but United for Care’s Joe Morgan, who put his personal fortune behind a successful 2004 constitutional amendment raising Florida’s minimum wage, is not deterred and said he thinks he can recruit an “army of angels” to help gather the necessary signatures for the ballot initiative.

“I think it could be unprecedented in Florida politics, when you have so many volunteers with a passion for compassion out there collecting signatures,” Morgan says. “This will cost me quite a bit of money in proportion to what I have, but if it happens, I see it as political philanthropy – that through politics, a w. . . . .

Florida Medical Marijuana Could be Headed for 2014 Ballot

June 24th

TALLAHASSEE, FL — With Florida lawmakers unwilling to consider advancing any bills pertaining to medical marijuana or marijuana reform, instead overwhelmingly voting to pass an almost unenforceable law making the sale of virtually all pipes and paraphernalia a felony, medical marijuana advocates are looking to the 2014 ballot.

Senate Bill 1250, the Cathy Jordan Medical Cannabis Act, was introduced to the Florida legislature in February and assigned to the Health Policy Committee, where it immediately stalled until it was officially killed May 3 by lawmakers, never receiving a hearing or serious consideration by lawmakers.

Now, with the help of prominent Orlando attorney John Morgan, activists are preparing a massive statewide signature campaign to place the proposal on the ballot, where recent polls have found over 70% of Florida voters, including 56% of Republicans, are in support of medical marijuana legalization.

Morgan, who routinely hosts national political figures at his Orlando-area home, including President Obama, has co-founded an organization called READ MORE
