Publix Billionaire Donates $800,000 to Fight Against Medical Marijuana in Florida



Time Magazine reported:

“The family that founded the Publix supermarket chain has given $800,000 to a lobbying group fighting the legalization of medical marijuana in Florida.

The trust of Carol Jenkins Barnett, the chairwoman and president of Publix, made the donation earlier this month to the Drug Free Florida Committee”

It’s such a big surprise since I heard Publix has over a $15 Million dollar expansion for their pharmacies. I guess they see medical cannabis as direct competition. It’s always about money isn’t it, not making healthcare better.

I spend over $1,000 a month at Publix but in no way support big Pharm over medical marijuana!
