On Monday of this week, the Florida Supreme Court approved the ballot language for a proposed ballot initiative that would allow patients to legally obtain marijuana. If the voters of Florida approve the measure, it will be an important victory for patients as well as reflect a recognition by Floridians that our fear-driven drug policies that have destroyed communities need to be re-evaluated and changed. This past Friday, January 24th, ACLU of Florida Executive Director Howard Simon appeared on WPBT2's weekly news and public affairs program, Issues, hosted by Helen Aguirre Ferré to discuss the ballot initiative and other possible reforms for marijuana policy in the state.

Yesterday, committees in both the House and Senate passed bills prohibiting counties and municipalities from accepting certain community identification cards or documents as a form of identification.
