As you know, the people of Florida overwhelmingly support medical marijuana. Just a few years ago, with over 70 percent of the vote, Amendment 2 was passed, thereby expanding medical marijuana access throughout the state.
However, some of my Republican colleagues and their pharmaceutical lobbyist friends continue undermining the voters' will. That's why I've introduced HB 1411, the "Medical Marijuana Public Employee Protection Act."
This comprehensive legislation improves statewide medical marijuana practices by establishing:
✅ Free medical marijuana cards for veterans
✅ Medical marijuana card reciprocity for out-of-state patients
✅ Expanded telehealth for medical marijuana patients
✅ Advanced research programs for DUI and testing applications
✅ Employee protections for medical marijuana patients
I'm excited to present the bill to the Professions & Public Health Subcommittee. But, the subcommittee chair, Representative Will Robinson, has yet to schedule us for consideration.
Can you help me?

Florida residents deserve full access to the medical marijuana benefits they voted for, and I won't stop until that's a reality.
