HOW YOU CAN HELP
We need everyone to be an "Army of One". See what you can do as one person by gathering together your friends and family. Plan an event, party, or get together to gather signatures and recruit others. If you feel you have to remain silent, then please donate so we can continue to spread the word.
We are looking for 700 people around the state that can commit to at least 40 volunteer hours. They are known as the PUFMM Elite and will get special privileges throughout the campaign while collecting 1,000 signatures each and $400 in donations over the course of the campaign. This will provide us with exactly what we need to get medical marijuana re-legalized in Florida. Join this group today! Simply send an email to info@pufmm.org.
UPCOMING EVENTS
There are regular meetings and signature collecting events scheduled in many areas of the state. Go to our chapters page and click on the meetup group closest to you. If there is nothing scheduled, then please volunteer to host a meeting.

Quote about marijuana:
"If (Marijuana) were unknown, and bio-prospectors were suddenly to find it in some remote mountain crevice, it`s discovery would no doubt be hailed as a medical breakthrough. Scientists would praise it`s potential for treating everything from pain to cancer and marvel at it`s rich pharmacopoeia ~~ many of whose chemicals mimic vital molecules in the human body" The Economist, "Reefer Madness, Marijuana Is Medically Useful Whether Politicians Like It or Not," April 29, 2006.
