ORLANDO, Fla. — Attorney John Morgan is behind a medical marijuana initiative, and he is challenging businessman Mel Sembler to a debate on Channel 9.
Sembler is a former U.S. ambassador and a real estate developer from the Tampa area, and he's also the chief opponent to medical marijuana.
Sembler has been called an anti-drug crusader and has pledged to begin a fundraising drive to defeat the medical marijuana initiative.
Morgan called him "Mel the moocher" on social media.
“Mel Sembler is good at putting on knee pads and asking for money. If he's so rich, if he's so influential and believes in this so much, put your own money up,” said Morgan.
