Recreational pot could be on 2024 ballot

Recreational pot could be on 2024 ballot

The Smart & Safe Florida campaign, funded by Trulieve, says it has collected more than one million signatures to legalize the adult use of recreational marijuana in Florida. That’s more than enough signatures to get on the 2024 ballot, assuming the ballot language is approved by the heavily conservative-leaning state supreme court.

    Republicans are mad as hell about possibly letting people have another freedom.
    Ron "Putrid Smell" DeSantis will do everything he can to keep it off the ballot.
    If it gets on the ballot and passes, he will do everything he can to create new laws to ban and punish those who make use of the voted on measure that passed.

    LEGALIZE IT DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!



  7. @FusionDeveloper on June 29, 2024 at 10:48 am

    DeSantis says Guns are safer than Cannabis. He passed a law for concealed carry without permit, while cracking down on cannabis.
    Is a drunk with a gun a risk? A drunk driver a risk?
    No, for the love of God’s green flat earth! It is cannabis we have to watch out for, the deadly killer reefer the kids inject into their earlobes now-a-days.

    Outdoor Florida grown Sativas would be excellent.



  11. @anthonypa898 on June 29, 2024 at 10:52 am

    Whoever doesnt suppoet the legalization of recreational marijuana, they support the arrest of innocent people. It all ties down to that! People should not be punished and jailed for it. Its beyond messed up!



  12. @patricksweeney8846 on June 29, 2024 at 10:53 am

    Cmon Florida lets go!!!!!



  13. @Bob-bm1fk on June 29, 2024 at 10:56 am

    Cannabis is 100 x safer then booze.



  14. @DonaldCowling-fw5vg on June 29, 2024 at 10:57 am

    You can go down to trulieve and by earthquake 460oz I can see why they don’t want it legal

    Y’all got your priorities messed up



  16. @Bryan-uf3xf on June 29, 2024 at 11:03 am

    I really hope they stop making Marijuana look worse then alcohol I personally have never gotten drunk or drank alcohol and am proud to say it I grew up watching people drink alcohol and they would always get irritated and start arguing and fighting for the smallest things and in the other hand Marijuana more less intoxicating and more relaxing and enjoyable filled with laughter and good times including munchies I really hope they pass the bill am a proud supporter letโ€™s make this world a better place and help those that are in need of help legally LETS GOO ๐Ÿ’š



  17. @_AreVerA_ on June 29, 2024 at 11:03 am

    Supreme court doing everything in their power to stop it because they are benefiting off unregulated cannabis. Evil conservatives should not be in positions of power. They are in on it you foolish desatan bootlickers.



  18. @dandicristina1389 on June 29, 2024 at 11:04 am

    It’s a Damn plant make it legal Minnesota made 500.000 in the first couple ml months



  19. @stevensims3342 on June 29, 2024 at 11:06 am

    I was just driving in town today and passed an ABC liquor store, hardly anyone there. I’m pretty sure I then passed a medical store and there were people standing outside the building. The fact you can go into any liquor store and buy as much booze as you want but cannot go in a pot store and buy what you want is actually ridiculous. Alcohol is a detriment to national health.



  20. @Mayimbe_ on June 29, 2024 at 11:07 am

    LEGALIZE IT!



  21. @Patrick-yh5yd on June 29, 2024 at 11:07 am

    Anything smoked is stupid. Ban cigs.

  24. @bobdylan7432 on June 29, 2024 at 11:14 am

    As a veteran with a combat deployment honorable discharge, and currently DOT employee, federal legalization needs to happen. Do better for us America



  25. @user-ef2rm8sy9l on June 29, 2024 at 11:19 am

  29. @williamshaw5388 on June 29, 2024 at 11:31 am

    Good. The corrupt government needs to stay out of our lives.



  30. @miccfischer4795 on June 29, 2024 at 11:32 am

    Now that it is being moved to a tier 3 drug, i would like our AG to explain her archaic opposition to it, and tell me what is more dangerous in causing deaths, alcohol, tobacco, or marijuana.



  31. @Loucfr on June 29, 2024 at 11:33 am

    Republicans: โ€œThe government canโ€™t tell me what to do with my body!โ€

    Also Republicans: โ€œWeโ€™re telling you what you can and canโ€™t do with your body.โ€

    Legalizing marijuana is widely supported by a majority of citizens yet political cronies on some type of power trip or agenda have the say.



  32. @juniorgarcia4625 on June 29, 2024 at 11:33 am

    Legalize it!!!
