Legalize All Marijuana, Gubernatorial Candidate Says

A constitutional amendment that would legalize medical marijuana in Florida doesn’t go quite far enough for one of three candidates vying for the governor’s office this November.

Libertarian Adrian Wyllie not only thinks Amendment 2 should pass, he says recreational marijuana should be legal, too.

“Philosophically, I don’t believe the government has the authority to tell peaceful adults what they can or can put into their body,” the candidate who is dramatically trailing Republican Scott and Democrat Crist in the polls told Bay News 9.

While the polls show a close race between Scott and Crist, Wyllie is only carrying about 6 percent of likely voters, the station reported.

Wyllie has served as the chairman of the Libertarian Party of Florida and says, if elected, he will “continue to defend the life, liberty and property of all Floridians from excessive taxation, overbearing regulation, invasions of privacy, and all unconstitutional interference from the state and federal governments,” according to his campaign website.
