Help Us Secure Safe Access in Florida

October 30, 2014 | Talana Lattimer

With the help of advocates and supporters all over the state of Florida, medical marijuana is on the ballot as Amendment 2. However, we still have to win at the ballot box during this election to make safe access a reality for patients in the state.

Early voting is underway all across Florida – click here to find your early voting poll locations.

People support Amendment 2 for different reasons: some have told us it’s because of a family member, such as a child or a parent, suffering from a condition that would (or could) be alleviated by medical marijuana. Others have joined because they believe patients should have a safe alternative to harmful, addicting narcotics. Whatever your reason for supporting Amendment 2, we need to be sure we can count on your YES vote.

ASA is also helping to organize volunteers to phonebank for the "Yes on 2" campaign. Please consider helping out over the next few days to make sure that Amendment 2 gets as many votes as possible.
