Ex-Dolphin Ricky Williams backs Amendment 3 to 'end prejudice over cannabis' in Florida

Twenty years after a weed suspension prompted him to retire from the NFL, former Miami Dolphins running back, current NFL Hall of Fame nominee and pot entrepreneur Ricky Williams is backing Amendment 3 to legalize cannabis in Florida.

Smart & Safe Florida, the campaign that led a push to get Amendment 3 on the November ballot, announced Williams’ support of the change, which would decriminalize pot in Florida for people 21 and older.

“I know firsthand the ostracizing and debilitating effects the criminalization of cannabis can have,” Williams said in a statement.

“I want to pay my experiences forward, end the unjust criminalization and prejudice over cannabis, and bring Florida to the same level of freedom that over half of the country already enjoys. We can accomplish this by voting ‘Yes’ on 3 this November.”
