SARASOTA — Fresh from monitoring medical marijuana hearings in Tallahassee, where legislative opposition to smoking prescription cannabis is rapidly disintegrating, legalization advocate Adrian Moore told a conservative Argus Foundation audience Friday that Florida has to get smarter about moving forward.

Moore, vice president of the Libertarian Reason Foundation, said support for an “adult use” referendum on the 2020 ballot is growing, and that lawmakers should be wary of pushing back with the sorts of stifling regulations that have created surging black markets in legal states.
