Chair, Florida Democratic Party | Former Florida Commissioner of Agriculture | Cannabis Policy Trailblazer

Nikki Fried has been one of Florida’s most influential champions for cannabis reform, public health, and civil liberties. As Florida’s former Commissioner of Agriculture, she made history as the first woman elected to the position and the highest-ranking state official to openly advocate for cannabis access and industry development.

Now serving as Chair of the Florida Democratic Party, Nikki continues to lead bold conversations around marijuana legalization, social equity, and creating a smarter, more compassionate policy landscape for all Floridians. With a background in law, public policy, and advocacy, her voice bridges the gap between government, industry, and community.

At Cannadelic Miami, Nikki joins the stage to speak on the future of marijuana reform in Florida and how grassroots movements can drive real, lasting change.
