Vote Yes on Amendment 2 - Medical Marijuana for Florida.
Wyllie's view on marijuana:
"
Marijuana should be legalized. The war on drugs has been an abject failure. People are still doing drugs despite the laws. As a country, we’re spending $1 trillion each year to fight drugs. 60% of our prisons are filled with non-violent drug offenders. We’ve been battling this war for more than 40 years. Lives are still being destroyed.
Prohibition creates crime and violence. If drugs are legalized, there will still be a percentage of people who will ruin their own lives. That statistic will not change. But, they will be more likely to seek help and we will reduce the number of drug related deaths, the non-violent prison population, and the amount of felons who may struggle to get employment despite being qualified for work.
Medical marijuana is becoming acceptable among people across party lines. It’s a natural choice for pain relief."
http://wyllieforgovernor.com/issues-2/marijuana/Wyllie's view on the federal government over stepping into state laws: (civil liberties)
"Our freedoms are being eroded every day by the Federal Government. Habeas Corpus and due process no longer apply in America. With the full support of the President, Congress has reaffirmed that the United States government has the authority to arrest you without charges or trial, and to hold you indefinitely in a military facility if you are deemed by the government to be “belligerent.”
The federal government, with the full support of the Florida Legislature and current Governor, tells you what you can and can’t do with your property, your money, and even your own body. They tell you how to run your business and how to raise your children.
If elected governor, I will fight to ensure that your Constitutional rights are protected and
I will direct the Attorney General to criminally prosecute any federal authorities that seek to violate the United States and Florida Constitutions."
