LUCAS OVERBY FOR CONGRESS HOSTING MEDICAL MARIJUANA EDUCATIONAL EVENT

LUCAS OVERBY HOSTING MEDICAL MARIJUANA EDUCATIONAL EVENT- AT MAD HATTERS ETHNOBOTANICAL TEA BAR: TEA ROOM, HOOKAH LOUNGE & VEGAN RESTAURANT - The Lucas Overby For Congress campaign will be hosting this event to get the word out about and answer questions on the Amendment 2 Medical Marijuana Act.  Learn more about this important initiative to bring medicine and relief to millions in Florida.  This issue must be decided by the Florida voters in November, since the Florida Legislature passed a very limited bill, SB 1030, which authorized a strain of marijuana (called "Charlotte's Web") for treating only a very few conditions like epilepsy.  There will be persons on hand Thursday who can register eligible citizens to vote, so that they can participate in the November voting.

Guest speakers will include: Dana Moxley Cummings Chair of the Libertarian Party of Florida (http://www.facebook.com/LPFlorida), Nicole Morris and representatives from United For Care (http://www.unitedforcare.org), Florida Cannabis Action Network, (http://www.flcan.org/), and the American Cannabis Exchange (https://www.facebook.com/pages/American-Cannabis-Exchange/1409035752693593)

 This event is also an opportunity to meet Lucas Overby, Libertarian Candidate for U.S. House District 13, who will be one of the two Congressional candidates on the ballot in the November General Election. (There is no Democrat running in this race.)  For more information on Lucas Overby, please go to: http://www.lucasoverby.com
