C+ Haley Rashon Morrissette (D - FL)

Candidate in race for State House District 2 on Tuesday, November 5, 2024

Position on Marijuana Legalization

A political newcomer, Morrissette is in favor of passing Florida Amendment 3 in November, stating, "currently in Florida, I am in support of Amendment 3 which would legalize small amounts of marijuana. Previously in 2016 I publicly supported Amendment 2 to legalize medical marijuana." (Candidate Survey Response)

"I support legalizing and regulating the responsible use of marijuana by adults. Legalization allows for establishing clear regulations to ensure safe and responsible consumption, reduce black market activity, and generate significant tax revenue that can be reinvested in public health, education, and infrastructure." (Candidate Survey Response)

"I strongly oppose the federal prohibition of marijuana and advocate for its full legalization. The continued criminalization of marijuana is counterproductive, perpetuating systemic inequalities and diverting valuable law enforcement resources from more pressing issues. Legalizing marijuana at the federal level is essential." (Candidate Survey Response)

"I strongly support the automatic expungement of non-violent marijuana possession convictions. Automatic expungement is essential to rectify these injustices, removing barriers to employment, housing, and education, and allowing individuals to rebuild their lives. It ensures fairness and equality by addressing the systemic impact of past policies without adding bureaucratic hurdles." (Candidate Survey Response)

Position on Marijuana Decriminalization

"I strongly support the decriminalization of simple possession of marijuana and removing it from the Federal Controlled Substances Act. Criminalizing individuals for possessing small amounts of marijuana is an outdated and unjust practice that disproportionately impacts marginalized communities and consumes valuable law enforcement resources that could be better utilized in addressing serious crimes." (Candidate Survey Response)

Position on Medical Marijuana

"I strongly support the legalization of medical marijuana. Legalizing medical marijuana is a crucial step toward providing patients with safe, effective, and alternative treatment options for a variety of conditions. Medical cannabis is an essential tool in modern healthcare." (Candidate Survey Response)
