Marijuana Legalization Advocates Claim Momentum After Florida Poll

Marijuana legalization advocates from across the nation cheered a Quinnipiac poll that shows Floridians remain staunchly behind medical marijuana and a majority of voters in the Sunshine State back legalization for recreational use.

These results show that marijuana legalization is a mainstream issue that ambitious politicians should try to latch onto instead of run away from, said Tom Angell, the chairman of Marijuana Majority, on Monday. If the next president isnt willing to personally support ending prohibition as the best policy approach, he or she at least needs to push for changing federal laws so that seriously ill people can use medical marijuana without fear of being harassed by the DEA. Medical marijuana polls way better with voters than any presidential candidate does.
