The anti-medical marijuana campaign “No On 2,” posted an advertisement to their Facebook suggesting that the use of medical marijuana could lead to date rape. In the Florida Group “No On 2” Claims Medical Marijuana Leads to Date Rapeimage, a man and a woman are shown with their arms around each other, while the man has a photoshopped package of “marijuana cookies” in his back pocket. Written on the image says “Will the new face of ‘date rape’ look like a cookie?” the ad asks.

However, the ad does not provide any link to a source backing up their implied claims that medical marijuana could lead to date rape. The ad is similar to the “reefer madness” propaganda used in the 1930’s. In fact, it’s so similar, many people thought it was fake or a joke.

“I absolutely thought it was fake. I thought it was a joke,” Florida state Sen. Jeff Clemens (D-Lake Worth) told WPTV.

“I think any woman should find that offensive to somehow suggest that if you use medical marijuana to deal with a health issue that you’re trying to deal with that somehow that’s going to make you more susceptible to rape,” he added. “It’s really beyond the pale.”

As for the claim itself? According to Dr. Jorge Bordenave, a cardiologist at South Miami’s Larkin Community Hospital who supports medical marijuana, the date rape suggestion is unfounded.

A poll dated October 9, 2014, shows that 67% of Florida voters are in favor of Amendment 2.
