Florida voters will decide this November whether the state will become the 22nd in the nation to legalize marijuana for medical use, and debate on the issue will likely continue until Election Day.

Ben Pollara, campaign manager for United for Care, the organization leading the charge to legalize medical marijuana in the state, spoke with Melissa Ross on Amendment 2.
