Twenty years after a weed suspension prompted him to briefly retire from the NFL, former Miami Dolphins running back, NFL Hall of Fame nominee and pot entrepreneur Ricky Williams is backing Amendment 3 to legalize cannabis in Florida.
“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,” he said.
Williams could also benefit from the success of Amendment 3, which needs 60% support to pass; the Heisman Trophy winner has his own cannabis brand named, appropriately, Highsman.
