Smart & Safe Florida Announces New Ad Featuring Republican Bradford County Sheriff Gordon Smith
Campaign to legalize adult use recreational marijuana debuts “Not a Bad Person”
(Orlando, FL) – Today, Smart & Safe Florida released a new ad featuring Republican Bradford County Sheriff Gordon Smith. In “Not a Bad Person,” Sheriff Smith says it’s time to stop ruining the lives of adult Floridians with arrests for simple marijuana possession and ensure access to lab-tested products.
The new ad comes after Sheriff Smith announced his endorsement of Amendment 3 last month, telling Action News Jax that his 38 years as a tough-on-crime sheriff, along with his brother’s positive experience with medical marijuana, shaped his belief that it’s past time to legalize recreational adult use marijuana in the Free State of Florida.
Sheriff Smith knows with Amendment 3, we can get fentanyl-laced marijuana off the streets and give adult Floridians access to safe, lab-tested marijuana products.
“Not a Bad Person” will air statewide on broadcast, streaming, cable and through digital platforms.

A yes vote on Amendment 3 will improve the health and safety of Floridians and alleviate the burden on both the law enforcement and criminal justice communities. Access to regulated adult use marijuana will help prevent illicit cartel-trafficked marijuana from making its way into Florida. Without regulation, these products can be laced with fentanyl, ketamine, and other dangerous substances.
