Although Florida only received 58 percent of the vote in 2014, it was still just shy of the 60 percent needed for legislation. But that apparently didn’t discourage United For Care, at attempting to legalize the drug once again. UFC submitted a constitutional amendment in January, collecting thousands of signatures to get the process in motion.
Ben Pollara, United For Care’s campaign manager, said that the group gathered approximately 100,000 signatures to the Supreme Court in order for them to evaluate the amendment’s language.
Here’s what Pollara told the New Times:
We still have the same really tough bar to climb — the 60 percent threshold. We almost made it last time. Given the fact that a lot more people will be voting in the election, we should comfortably meet and reach that.
Good luck, Floridians. Let’s do this ONE more time.
