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

Championed a Bill

Score Reason:
Rep Keen fights the good fight. He supported the Florida Hemp industry in 2024 with a series of great questions and no votes in committee on HB 1686/1613. This bill was passed through both the House and the Senate before being vetoed by Governor DeSantis. The veto was publicly acknowledged as a quid-pro-quo for fighting the adult non-medical use ballot initiative in 2024.
