The campaign behind a Florida ballot measure to legalize marijuana is reaching out to veterans in an effort to build voter support for the the reform, which will appear on the state’s ballot this November.
In an email to supporters Friday, the campaign, Smart and Safe Florida, said it’s hoping to “grow one of the many coalitions we are building in Florida: Veterans.”
“Our goal is to raise awareness among voters about the importance of cannabis as a safer alternative to synthetic opioids for treating PTSD and related conditions among veterans,” wrote the campaign, explaining that organizers are “looking to engage with veterans across the state of Florida to support our cause.”
The email includes a link to sign up for the campaign’s veterans’ coalition and volunteer to share opinions “publicly, either via newspaper and/or online publications” or “on camera to be shared with voters through our campaign platforms.”
“Nobody has done more in laying it on the line to protect our individual liberties and freedoms than our veterans,” the campaign’s email says. “As most of you know, many veterans and veteran groups have publicly spoken out about their support for adult access to cannabis.”
