New polling out today on Florida Governor, Attorney General races

When the survey got to discussing the Florida Attorney race, voters were supportive of incumbent RepublicanPam Bondi with 45% of the vote, 38% for Democrat Perry Thurston and 7% for Libertarian Bill Wohlsifer. When the question was switched to indicate the other Democrat running in the race, George Sheldon, he garnered 36% of the votes. In either case, Wohlsifer is new to the scene and there are 11-12% of the voters who have yet to decide for whom to vote, so he can boost his numbers well before the November, 2014 general election. It will be a three-way race between Wohlsifer, Bondi and whoever wins the Democratic primary in August.

Florida Attorney General candidate supports medical marijuana, but not this bill

“There is no rational basis for such an unprecedented requirement of three decades in the cultivation business to grow a simple grass. This is a blatant attempt to stifle free market competition in what is soon be the fastest growing industry in Florida,” Wohlsifer claims. “Crony capitalism is at work in the Sunshine State. The handful of nurseries that will be the only entities allowed to participate in growing this low-level THC strain of cannabis will be purposefully positioned with the first-mover advantage to corner the marijuana cultivation, processing and distribution markets when Amendment 2 passes in November, which will mandate the growth of large assortment of cannabis sativa plants. Clearly, this bill, which was championed under the guise of helping the children, is a really a power-play at the market share for Florida’s future marijuana and industrial hemp businesses,” said Wohlsifer. There is no other logical explanation; surely, we do not need to demonstrate the ability to harvest two million plants to create an oil to drop under the tongues of 125,000 children.”
