Drug Free America Foundation Executive Director Calvina Fay’s Statement On Amendment 2’s Defeat in Florida

St. Petersburg, FL – Following the rejection of Amendment 2 by Florida voters, Drug Free America Foundation Executive Director Calvina Fay released the following statement:

“On November 4th, the people of Florida strongly and wisely rejected efforts to make Florida the next front in the push to legalize marijuana nationwide.  I am proud that Florida voters saw this amendment for what it really was: a backdoor entrance for the full legalization of marijuana.

Efforts to defeat this amendment united a wide coalition of Florida’s sheriffs, medical professionals, parents, teenagers, faith-based and pro-family groups, and many other concerned citizens.  We are grateful for the time and energy they invested to educate voters and set the record straight on why Amendment 2 would have put Florida’s future in jeopardy.

The people of Florida have spoken.  By rejecting this misguided amendment, they chose to safeguard our communities and ensure a safer and more prosperous future.”
