House District 117

Will you pledge to protect patient access to Medical Marijuana if Amendment 3 passes?

FLCAN supports safe, affordable, and accessible Cannabis for patients. The Constitution was amended in 2016 by popular vote to allow qualified patients access to medical Cannabis. This program must be reauthorized should Amendment 3 - adult non-medical use pass in November.

Many states consider the ability for patients to cultivate at home a key to access and affordability. Will you support legislation designed to expand access by allowing home cultivation?

Yes

Regulating Cannabis Businesses

The Department of Agriculture is already licensing businesses to grow, process, and sell low-THC Cannabis products. The Department of Health licenses businesses to grow, process, and sell Cannabis products to qualified patients. After the passage of Amendment 3 in November, we will have non-medical adult use.

Do you know someone who benefits from the existing hemp businesses operating in Florida?

Yes

Should businesses currently licensed to cultivate, process/manufacture, or sell Cannabis products be allowed to expand into the adult social market?

Yes

Since November 2019, polls have shown 2/3 of Americans believed Marijuana (Cannabis) use should be legal.

Do you intend to introduce a Cannabis-related bill if elected?

No

Would you accept donations or volunteers from FLCAN supporters?

Yes

Is there anything you want our members and supporters to know?

I don't currently have plans to introduce cannabis related legislation, but I would b willing to entertain such an opportunity. As the ranking member on the Ag and Natural Resources Appropriation Committee, I anticipate we will have a lot of conversation about this subject. I look forward to supporting your efforts.
