LEESBURG

People looking for marijuana are unlikely to seek help from their state lawmakers.

But on Wednesday, the names of a dozen Florida state senators direct pot smokers to a World Wide Web site with instructions for growing cannabis and links to sites selling seeds.

Twelve of the state’s 40 senators have had their names purchased as Internet domains and linked to the site Overgrow.com, which touts itself as “the Web’s leading authority on marijuana growing and marijuana seeds.” The fiasco has quickly created a buzz among lawmakers even as the links to the Web site were disconnected by late Thursday afternoon.

State Sen. Al Lawson, D-Tallahassee, was enraged by the news and called for a state investigation. But state Sen. Anna Cowin, R-Leesburg, was more mellow and questioned whether any government response was appropriate.
