Is there anything you want our members and supporters to know?

I have been integral in the passing of HB 387 and HB 1582 in Florida, both bills provided access to the Pigford/Black Farmers to become owners of a MMTC license. Over the last three years, Florida has issued six (6) MMTC licenses to black farmers from the persistence of a few lawmakers. The Governor signed both bills.

On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being not interested, do you consider yourself pro-Cannabis?
