MORGAN MAKES CASE FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA
DAYTONA BEACH - John Morgan, the prominent Orlando personal injury
attorney, is confident Floridians will approve a ballot initiative he
champions that would allow for medical marijuana use in the state.
But, he expects the fight to get a lot tougher as the Nov. 4 election
approaches.
Morgan and Miami-based lobbyist Benjamin Pollara, who manages the
pro-medical marijuana group United for Care, met with The
News-Journal's editorial board Thursday to discuss the initiative.
Morgan said United for Care's most-recent polling showed that 67 to
69 percent of Floridians supported medical marijuana, but that was
before opponents took to the airwaves across the state with ads
critical of the initiative. For the measure to pass, 60 percent of
voters must approve it.
