Wohlsifer Calls Out Lawmakers

Last week, just before close of session, Lawmakers passed CS/CS/SB 1030, Enrolled, AKA Charlottes
Web, AKA Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act 2014. Bill Wohlsifer, LPF, candidate for Attorney
General, has been releasing a number of statements publically and on his campaign blog pointing out
that this Act is a disappointment and disguise for crony capitalism in the name of children.

Shame on those in the House who introduced and supported this 11
th
hour amendment. A
new industry that could create prosperity for so many Floridian entrepreneurs is being
funneled to a select few. ~ Wohlsifer

Pointing out the hypocrisy of arguing against vertical integration when dealing with craft brewers, and
demanding it with the medical marijuana industry, Wohlsifer slammed the lawmakers for limiting the
market based on the influence of a very few.

Not only must a single entity be the sole grower, processor, manufacturer and distributor of
the Charlottes Web strain of cannabis from the time it is planted in the soil until placed under
the patients tongue as an oil, but in order to qualify as a dispensing organization the business
must have been "a registered nursery in this state for at least 30 continuous years. I suggest
that this anti-competitive platform was accomplished purposefully to position a few crony
capitalists to be handed the lions share of Floridas marijuana business that will plant itself in
our state following the passage of Amendment 2 to the Florida Constitution in November
2014. ~Wohlsifer

As the author of the Cathy Jordan Medical Cannabis Act, Wohlsifer went on to remind us that several
bills were available to the legislature to provide medical relief for all of Floridas citizens. He further
stated the markets that will be created should be open and provide economic opportunities to all of
Floridas citizens, not just a select few cronies.
