Hayden Fouke says he supports the use of medical marijuana in Florida.
Regardless of whether Amendment 2 passes or not, Fouke, 76, says he has no plans to stop using the drug to help alleviate complications from his rare blood cancer treatments.
And in the kitchen of his Lecanto home, Fouke mixed up batches of brownies, with pot mixed in.
He grinds up the marijuana, heats it up with oil and adds it to a brownie mix. Fouke says he uses the pot brownies to relieve the side effects of chemotherapy and restore his appetite. Unlike other cancer patients he says he knows, he does not use any pain pills.
"I use about a quarter ounce of good weed," he said. "I'm in my fourth clinical trial. I've got 242 doses of chemo in me right now. You see so many people at the place I go that are almost zombies because they're taking so many drugs that have so many different side effects."
But unlike Fouke, many Floridians may be changing their opinion on medical marijuana.
A recent Bay News 9/Tampa Bay Times/UF Graham Center poll indicates that less than half - 48 percent - of the respondents said they planned to vote yes on Amendment 2, which, if passed, would legalize medical marijuana.
That's considerably down from last month, when a similar poll conducted by Bay News 9/Tampa Bay Times/UF Graham Center found that 57 percent of Floridians said they expect to vote on Amendment 2.
A 60 percent "yes" vote is required for Amendment 2 to pass.
"Am I fighting for me?" Fouke asks while mixing up another batch of brownies. "Yeah. But am I fighting for everybody else? Absolutely. I put my neck out there on the line because technically speaking, I'm a criminal."
