RT @MichaelPollick: 3 Dems running for Florida gov — Andrew Gillum, Chris King and Philip Levine — have called for full legalization of #cannabis #marijuana in the state. A fourth, former U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham, supports decriminalizing marijuana for personal use. https://t.co/6TVuVZDVhA

Editorial: Legalize marijuana in Florida

Too many lives have been ruined over marijuana arrests. Decriminalizing the possession of marijuana is long overdue — but doesn’t go far
