Petitions are about to hit the streets soon in a push to get voters to decide whether to legalize marijuana for anyone over 21. Jodi James with Florida Cannabis Action Network in Melbourne is behind a new effort to make it happen.\u00a0 An affiliated political action group called Floridians for Freedom http:\/\/floridiansforfreedom.org is gearing up for a massive, statewide push to gather signatures on a constitutional amendment that would make marijuana legal for anyone over the age of 21. It\u2019s a separate effort from the medical marijuana petition led by attorney John Morgan last year. Organizers said the effort is a simple civil liberty issue, not a medical issue, and would allow lawmakers to regulate how it\u2019s sold. They want to get one million registered voters to sign the petition to get it on the 2016, if not the 2018, ballot. Mike Morgan, of the Morgan and Morgan law firm, who is working with the medical marijuana issue, said he doesn\u2019t think the effort will impact what they are trying to do.\u00a0 The Petition here &#8211;&gt; <a href=\"http:\/\/floridiansforfreedom.org\/index.php\/downloadable-pdfs\/rightofadultstocannabis\">http:\/\/floridiansforfreedom.org\/index.php\/downloadable-pdfs\/rightofadultstocannabis<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/floridiansforfreedom.org\/index.php\/downloadable-pdfs\/rightofadultstocannabis\">Original article at <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wftv.com\/news\/news\/local\/group-pushes-legal-marijuana-florida\/nnXJP\/'\">http:\/\/www.wftv.com\/news\/news\/local\/group-pushes-legal-marijuana-florida\/nnXJP\/&#8217;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-reactid=\".5l.1:4.1:$comment10154215363669418_10154215532864418\/=10.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1\"><span data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}\" data-reactid=\".5l.1:4.1:$comment10154215363669418_10154215532864418\/=10.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1.$comment-body\"><span class=\"UFICommentBody\" data-reactid=\".5l.1:4.1:$comment10154215363669418_10154215532864418\/=10.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1.$comment-body.0\"><span data-reactid=\".5l.1:4.1:$comment10154215363669418_10154215532864418\/=10.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1.$comment-body.0.$text0\/=1$text0\/=010\"><a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=15650\">On Legalizing Marijuana<\/a>.\u00a0 Wanting repeal of prohibition isn\u2019t just about getting high.
