New poll came out that showed support for medical marijuana, in general,
has
reached
84% among Florida voters.
While we're not surprised support is
increasing, we have to take these numbers with some caution - as we learned in
2014 there's a big difference between general support for the concept of medical
marijuana, and actual support for the ballot amendment itself. (Especially when
voters are being told outright lies by our well-funded opposition.) In fact, a
good number of our opponents last year - including two key spokespeople for the
No on 2 side - expressed support for medical marijuana in
general.
For that reason, we have to mobilize, right now -
projecting a reasonably close race. More (and younger) voters vote in
presidential years, and that will help us - but not to the tune of 84%.
