I wouldn’t be surprised if it passes, but Florida does what Ohio has done and keeps trying to make it more difficult to access
I dunno… it’s very popular here. The major issue to consider is the also very popular medical racket to get access to the medical stuff.
You have to pay a doctor for a prescription (which is basically some performative bullshit so they get to charge a fee), then you have to pay the state a fee. But you can only have a prescription for 7 months before you have to renew, yet you have to renew your state registration every year— each for a separate fee.
Has a recent weed ballot measure failed somewhere?
Not that I’m aware of. It’s obviously the will of the people. Here in Ohio, the legislature was talking about repealing it until there was so much outcry. It’ll be almost a year on before it’s possible to buy legal weed for recreational purposes. I just figure the Florida GOP might pull similar stunts. That’s all.
Between marijuana and abortion rights, Florida may actually see turnout this November.
Lord, I hope so. That would make it the first state in the deep south to do so.If it does happen with it being the 26th state, that means that over half of the United States says it should be legal and we might start to really see things happen at the federal level with that.
I think the action at the federal level already has enough momentum. I imagine the rescheduling should be done by the end of the year
Oh, I don’t mean rescheduling. I mean, maybe momentum can build to actually fully legalize it at the federal level.
Rescheduling would legalize it as a prescription drug
I mean recreational legalization.
The only kind of legalization.
I can’t wait.
I worry that even with rescheduling it’s not going to save places where the conservatives don’t care, and are willing to obstruct indefinitely.
Good news! You can legally smoke weed!
Bad news! It’s now illegal to be black.
Gotta get em somehow
The vote doesn’t matter if the governor can just veto it like they did the monorail bill.
Ok maybe veto isn’t the perfect word, but that amounts to what actually happened. Doesn’t matter how the governor killed it. Florida voters wanted the constitutional amendment and Bush killed it by referendum without the voters having any further say.

Then there was the travesty of the Bush/Gore election.
Florida voters know that their vote does not count.
You can’t veto a constitutional amendment
That’s not true.
There was no veto. Jeb pushed another referendum to overturn the first. All driven by voters. The governor cannot kill an amendment.
Weed :))]
Nothing against weed itself but I hope it doesn’t pass. Those people don’t need another coping mechanism, they need to vote out the fucking trash.

this is a dumb take, who do you think keeps getting thrown in prison and having their voting rights taken away? I’ll tell ya, it’s not the boomer magas living in the voter fraud capital of Florida, The Villages.
It would be great if people would stop parroting this russian troll “joke” designed to make you hate those who need your help.
Enjoy staying red.
