The Witch's Brew cafe and pub in historic downtown Palm Harbor collected more than 100 signatures on petitions supporting medical marijuana in Florida during the shop's recent Witchstock 2013 festival.

During the Halloween-themed event, "Captain Cannabis" spoke to attendees about the legislation scheduled for the 2014 ballot.

"Captain Cannabis is a human encyclopedia on hemp and cannabis and was the perfect person to kick off our local petition drive here at the Witch's Brew," said cafe owner and festival organizer Lesley Klein. "We will continue to have blank medical marijuana petitions available so people can stop and sign here. We will turn them into www.UnitedforCare.org and save the petitioner a stamp."

The Witch's Brew, a magic-themed cafe offering fair-trade organic coffee, ice cream, and beer and wine, opened in 2007. It is located at 1219 Florida Ave., Palm Harbor. For information, call (727) 483-9210 or email info@thewitchsbrew.com.
