Yes on 3.
Stop arresting people they're not criminals.
The real issue with my Governor is the over 50 million dollars of tax payer money he has spent on anti-marijuana propaganda that we the tax payers of Florida never approved. It's "not" his money.
As a Floridian, it’s partly my money, and I approve. This is insane.
This press conference actually makes me want to vote Yes on three with even greater enthusiasm
Vote Yes to Amendment 3!!
I did too ❤❤
Ron, I'm sorry you did not come up with a better idea, you could have you are a smart guy but the underlying factor is, if you get a pot card you lose the right to purchase a firearm to protect yourself. So dont think this is all about weed, its not.
very true, I am Repub but im voting yes because I dont want to worry anymore about that
You can keep and use the firearms you have already purchased. Your card expires every 6-7 months. Then you can purchase and after your purchase you can renew.
You'll loose that right still with this, a state constitutional amendment doesn't trump current federal law.
You'll still will have issues, a state constitutional amendment isn't going to go over the current federal law. It will just create a myriad of problems and legality issues.
I personally have talked to people that have both a med weed card and a concealed permit. THE FDLE qestionaire asks if you are addicted to marijuana or any other substance. The question is "Could the feds prove your an addict because you take a few puffs of weed? On its face its absurd, you drink tea or coffee everyday...does that make you and addict. You ride your bike everyday..OMG your addicted to exercise..your an addict and need help.lol
I always default No on amendments to the constitution, but this was still very eye opening. I hope a lot of people see this.
I agree. I first became aware of "gvt by referendum" by watching elections in California. Waiting for special interests to sell an idea to a gullible electorate every few years and looking forward to years of test cases to the US Supreme Court? Not how I roll.
Too bad he's the only Florida Republican who will speak out
Default to voting no on amendments? The level of denseness of that comment is absolutely mind blowing. Be thankful that Florida is a state where the will of the people can trump clowns. In some places, like Wisconsin for example, politicians have the ability to hijack democracy. Amending the constitution directly is one of the most truly democratic systems in this country.
That’s goofy. Just say you’re too lazy to research the proposed amendments.
@ I do. But I believe in our constitution and don’t believe it should be messed with.
I cant even keep a cactus alive Ron, I think it's safe to say I don't mind not being able to grow my own weed. I voted yes on 3.
yes on 3.
i used to like desantis but i want him out.
That just came out my mouth and then I saw your comment lmao
No one is in jail in Florida for possession of marijuana. They are all on probation and have to pay $300 month 'supervision fee'.
How do you justify a plant being illegal??
Cocain is a plant. The Coca leaf. Heroin is a plant. The poppy plant.
@@scottstaggs7234 But you need to refine like half a field of each to get a lethal dose. One plant would have little to no effect on you.
@@scottstaggs7234 Also Morning Glory seeds contain an alkoxide that is an LSD analog. How come they aren't illegal? Mimosa bark can be extracted for DMT. How come they aren't illegal?
@@scottstaggs7234 And you should be allowed to have them. I cant even go fishing unless I pay a fee for a stupid paper saying I can.
@@7munkee where did you get these facts cuz I say you are wrong 100% wrong
Marijuana is not addicting lol I smoked for many years and I’ve quit many times without any problem
That’s not quitting if you do it many times 😅
Well, when I mean quitting, I smoke for a while and then I quit for like a year so that is the same thing as quitting. It’s not hard to do.
@@shawnregister4351 I grew up in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 and we can tell you as experts that it does do harm physically and mentally. It has long been outdated that it would not be harmful.
@@shawnregister4351 that is a fairytale. And let me be clear, I am a yes on amendment 3. But facts are facts and marijuana can be addictive (10-15%). It’s just much less addictive than your typical intoxicants like alcohol and cigarettes.
well, in my opinion is not addicted I am 39 years old. I’ve been smoking, since I was 14 off and on then I quit so many times without any hesitation and it wasn’t that hard It’s about if you want it or not and if they get addicted to it they’re week asf because I also smoked cigarettes and I’ve been trying to quit those for many years and it’s almost impossible so I know the difference between addiction and not lol
DeSantis should of made the law correctly before a big company had to spend millions to pass amendment 3
The things is Florida is benefiting from a million people purchasing all those med cards
Imagine living in a country where you have to pay for a right to do something 😂
Why talk about the past ?
He already did. If you’re not smart enough to snag yourself a “medical” (ha!) marijuana card, you have absolutely no business consuming this crap.
@ts121084 having to get a med card isn't free. Smart guy.
@ And buying from Trulieve will be? Also, purchasing from your local dealer isn’t policed.
I voted yes because the state has had plenty of time to legalize in some form or another. Let's try not to get lost in all of the gas lightening at this late hour.
Not a top priority. When was last marijuana but you were part of or seen in Florida. Come on man. Put the join down for a day. Then watch this. I burned since 1972. This is not good for us as a state brother.
@@MikeCoon-yi4gzIt is good
If done properly legalization. Would reduce crime in. Florida
The major issue with this bullshit is how we don’t have the right to grow. Why would they do that?! How is it “legal “ then? Only the dispensaries will come out on top.
One company wants to control it for all of florida. Did u read the amendment? This is not good. This does not make it truly free and would have the rights to do whatever they want and lose all standards in turn Selling you low grade dirty mj. Not have it in the hands of just one company/drug dealer. Read the amendment. It's clear u didn't. Or buy dirty mj and u won't be able to complain later bc you will keep smoking tainted mj and too slow to realize.
@robinsss not the way they're trying to do it. Ron is right. I'm a stoner and I agree with letting us having freedom while respecting others. It should be like California. No smoking in public. But we could grow at home, possess, etc.
Vote yes
TRUMP SAID YES! THAT TRUMPS DESANTIS! LET THE PEOPLE SPEAK.
I should be able to live my life without alcohol being everywhere and people being drunk in public yet a drunk driver still killed my father
Sorry for your loss.. but what about the multiple cases of marihuana induced psychosis? And the murders related to it? There have been multiple homicides committed by people under the influence of marihuana because of a psychotic episode! Also is the main cause of people developing schizophrenia and other mental health disorders.. marihuana is very harmful but people don’t wanna talk about it.. why is that?
@@ElSABI0-BEATSyou drank the kool aid 😂😂😂
@@alanakremer4006 Nah, I happen to know people who have been through this situation before.. also you can look it up online, all the information related to it.. this is a serious issue. And people are losing their minds because of it
Very sorry for your loss. May God comfort you and your family. The difference between alcohol and marihuana is that, alcohol has laws prohibiting the use of it certain ways, such as driving under the influence, unlike this amendment, there are no provisions or prohibitions. It is also added to the constitution, which is more complex to change if needed.
@@ElSABI0-BEATS please provide proof of these claims or they can be as easily dismissed as they were presented
Let the flowers live !
You cannot prove the Marijuana is not the tree of life and the knowledge...
No, every credible study on marijuana show it causes brain matter loss and chronic illness. All science proves marijuana is the plant of fail and ruin.
Revelation 22:2

2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations
I hate this guy...
The real battle is on chemistry of coke meth heroine..and the rest of alchemy... Marijuana is its own miracle!
Unfortunately marihuana is the introduction to most youth. From there they graduate to other things thinking it's going to be ok, and you know that is not. I grown my own, with the sweet smell of Colombian Gold from the past, this bullshit will not allow me to do it. They want a monopoly on their chemical weed. Only if you have smoked real weed you will understand, this bullshit stinking everywhere IS NOT REAL WEED.
GROW YOUR OWN IT'S A RIGHT OF GOD
God wants us sober minded, not on weed!
@julesprice5805 then how do you explain Genesis 9:3 King James version.?
@@julesprice5805then why did Jesus turn water into wine
That I agree with, but not with a MONOPOLY on it and smoking that petroleum stinking weed everywhere. The days of good Colombian Gold marihuana smell is GONE!
@@julesprice5805so why have we not banned alcohol?
Totally agree, why this one product needs to be in the constitution? Makes no sense. Beer is not in the constitution potato chips aren’t in the constitution. Why this one product?
Corporate greed and corrupt politicians supporting it. Good to see DeSantis make a stand against it
@karatechris198 the mention of this in the constitution is only pushing regulation to the state level. There's no constitutional right we have to consume alcohol. There is no constitutional right we have to consume potato chips. I don't think you understand the point of the statement.
@karatechris198
Freedom of Speech, Religion, Press, Assembly, and Petition Right to Bear Arms, Protection Against Quartering Soldiers, Protection Against Unreasonable Searches and Seizures, Rights in Criminal Cases, Right to a Fair Trial, Right to a Jury Trial in Civil Cases, Protection Against Cruel and Unusual Punishment, The Right to Smoke Pot.
The Right to Smoke Pot sticks out like a sore thumb, There is no right to consume a substance in the constitution. it is ridiculous to add such a thing.
@karatechris198 you didn't read my response. There are no amendments guaranteeing the access to any specific food or substance. Only banning one, and then a repeal of a ban. If you can't see the difference, Maybe you're smoking too much pot and cannot think clearly.
@karatechris198 Try really really hard to understand the difference between making something legal and adding an amendment to the Constitution. This is talking about mandating that a consumable substance be added to the constitution not banning something, something that has never been done.
Gotta laugh at the political theatre; DeSantis says vote no and Trump, his Presidential candidate, says vote yes. It's all theatre.
It’s not pro marijuanna if one big company created the amendment to have complete control over all the others😭
@jakeparker4918 The Florida State Legislature could provide by state law for the licensure of entities other than existing Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers to cultivate and sell marijuana products.
@@jakeparker4918 So if DeSantis told you Mickey Mouse is a real talking mouse who really runs Disney. Would you believe that too?
@@LazyEyePoliticswhat's your problem with the governor educating people. I think all amendments should be explained.
@ have you read the ammendment
@@LazyEyePolitics : I read the amendment. It reads precisely as DeSantis related.
If a stoner is high behind the wheel of a car the cops cannot arrest him or cite him
Because it is a constitutional amendment a drug addict will have the RIGHT to get high behind the wheel of a car.
So, if this amendment passes and some stoner kills one of your family members and walks away Scott free-have a nice day.
to late everyone has already voted yes on amendment 3
There was a press conference a few weeks ago. Before the hurricanes
Well not everyone. my husband and I are voting no.

I voted YES. Screw the Governors opinion. I disagree.
No he is right
That's your right. So, what is your problem?
A great explanation by DeSantis, too bad he choked on the big stage. He is obviously a clear thinker and can grasp and explain issues very well. What he explains here is very important for people to understand, the framing of every issue especially ones that change the constitution. “ these amendments just don’t fall out of heaven” 😂.
Everyone needs to just vote. Yes because these governments need to wake up call, let them know that we the people are in charge not them.
11:12 There’s already fentanyl junkies everywhere why not focus on that problem and leave something that can help those people get off hard drugs alone
Last pro tip, Ron and any others here.. we have and will grow it there no matter what way this goes... Florida has been on of the top growing states since 1980s.. i would know 😅
Ok Republican bot troll
@@LazyEyePolitics please leave florida
@tankdarla637 uhhh. Why? So you guys can continue using power to force your agenda on the minority, people and businesses u don't like, and fight the advance of the one thing that 78% of Americans agree on. There's one thing both sides have THIS much agreement on, and it's this. But still. Obstruction is more important to people like DeSantis. Get out of Florida? Get into a book. Read.

Vote YES on 3!
Lets see what happens😂
It is written ,for a lack of understanding my people perish . Thank you Ron Decanis for espousing the whole agenda / story .
UH LOL WHY DIDNT HE TRY TO CHANGE IT, OR I DONT KNOW LOL MAKE A SHIFT IN IT.
ITS MODERN TIMES NOW BOZO LOL
IM STILL GOING TO SMOKE IT, ROLL IT, AND CURE MY PTSD FROM IT LOL
BUT ITS STILL SO FN PATHETIC ITS STILL BEING TALKED ABOUT LOL FROM " LEGAL " TERMS HAHAHAHAHAH
It is amazing that our governor would do this. Thank you for doing the right thing. Hopefully, this is an eye-opener for a lot of people.
My wife and I are voting No on 3 and No on 4
Bad choice
Vote YES ..who cares what he thinks smh
I voted yes 🤣 I’m having a lot back pain, I can’t afford to pay for a medical card 😭😭

I’ve been waiting for years for this
WHAT ABOUT FREEDOM AND THE RIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE TO DECIDE?
Looks like someone didn't watch the video, DeSantis LITERALLY goes over why it's not about Freedom. The Ammendment does not permit you to grow your own Marijuana, and it does not allow other people to be free FROM it.
No one is taking your rights away.
What about non-smokers’ rights? We’re people, too.
@@ts121084there are gummies for the non smokers
Marijuana is the god of knowledge and medical life health
I voted no not until we can grow it at your house. One company is controlling this industry in florida.
A Canadian company also owns Tampa Electric
@@GOPETSCOOTER who care about growing your own.
There is a part in the bill for private growing. 😮😮 research is the key 🔑 👌
Nope plus they are saying money going to schools that’s 100% lies
One company controlling everything and you cannot sue them
Common sense !!
Listen to him Floridians !! You can’t walk down streets in those cities without your children catching contact high from weed.
So why isn’t he banning cigarettes or alcohol?
Freedom is why
Thank You Governor.
@@easyyog1185 best Governor in the country!
4:21 Speaking of "never been done before," When was the last time the state spent millions in taxpayer money to fight against an amendment, that possibly a super majority of Floridians support?!?!
I smoke and in saying no, this just ain’t the one…
People smoke weed, always have, always will. Legalize it. If you don't like it, don't smoke it. Problem solved. We'll smoke it illegally, too. You play your game, well play ours. Banning it puts the profit elsewhere in your state, your loss. Our gain. Personally, when i think about it, let's keep it illegal. You don't deserve the money that we made.
They just get the money in supervision fees for when they put you on probation for smoking weed.
Amen
Ron Desantis wants to regulate every area of people’s private lives. He is the face of Big Government.
God I hate this guy. He is all about big government up everyone’s ass telling us what to do. This AIN’T what conservatism is.
More big govt.😂 I like Trump, but the Repubs are yuck, too!

Why did you not do this sooner? WHY! WHY! YOU should have been flooding the air-ways. You should have been doing this Long before early voting started.
Telling someone to vote no because they're unsure is the same thing as them voting yes without a reason. If you don't know you don't vote, if you are your blindly voting n messing it up for everyone.

How can we convince President Trump NOT to recommend yes for Amendment 3? How can I reach him?
Are you serious? The combination of this comment & your profile pic is hilarious.
I saw that flyer, too. But I think it's just faking his endorsement because he ALWAYS speaks out against alcohol and tobacco. So, I wouldn't worry about that flyer.
Keep drinking your kool aid of course
I smoked for thirty years and the only way that I was able to quit was by asking God to take the desire for it away from me.
I tried to stop smoking repeatedly myself and could never do it.
Thankfully God has taken that desire away from me and I no longer smoke.
All he glory goes to God.
Marijuana is addictive, And it's a gateway drug that usually leads to stronger drugs for a lot of people.
I’ve smoked most my life… it’s not addictive. Addiction is just a cover up word for weakness… no disrespect intended… just a fact
Tf that gotta do with us. That's your problem. Just because you were irresponsible with it doesn't mean everyone else is nor should they be locked up or have it taken away 🤡
Thank you Governor! Best Governor in the country ❤
Starting to look like the dumbest governor in the history of America
I will vote against marijuana with Governor DeSantis. VOTE AGAINST MARIJUANA BEING PLACE IN THE CONSTITUTION OF FLORIDA.
@@bonnievarnes2822 Vote Yes
Who and why deny the trees of life?..and the knowledge to know who is the real evil?
I am writing this for the people who are pro weed legalization but voting no for this amendment. For those who hate weed, there is nothing I can do, you will vote no, no matter what, it is what it is. The most common excuses I see for voting no while you support legalization is that home grow is not allowed and that one company will have a monopoly over it. Actually home grow is not mentioned at all so it is up to the legislation to make the rules in the next 6 months to allow or not allow home grow. Let's say they don't allow home grow. Then we can vote on another amendment in 2 years to allow it or they can add it later via state legislation. If you want to grow your weed I can guarantee you this will never happen if weed is illegal. This bill legalizes weed which is a step closer to being able to grow it at home. Let's take it step by step. Home grow will eventually come if weed is legal but it will never come if weed is illegal. And here is another thing, growing weed right now is a felony, but growing weed if it is legalized but home grow is not allowed will become a misdemeanor which is equivalent to a speeding ticket.
As for the monopoly and corporate greed, well this is America and profit is the only thing that matters to any corporation so why are you so against profit? There are over 20 companies selling medical in FL so it is definitely not a monopoly. And yes Trulieve is the biggest one but everybody will benefit from it. More licenses will be issued and I can guarantee you that their market share will drop as more companies start selling. It's basic economics. But honestly why do you care? Do you care more about the profits of a company than the ability to buy quality product from the store and not be bothered by the cops? I hope to turn some no's to yes's with this post.
Idk how Desantis can justify being anti Capitalism in terms of weed , but he never goes this hard on big Pharma , has no problem with Tobacco companies, and no problems with alcohol , but weed suddenly is the problem
Police management is no different or more connected to their people than any other profession. Most street cops don't care about weed, it's these "leaders" who think it makes them look good.
Cannabis is perfectly legal to sell as cottage food. Dried herbs and dried fruit.
Reefer madness all over again
We just got past having people smoke in our faces everywhere. Now this stink weed is going to be everywhere. I could care less if people smoke but this stuff stinks like skunk butt
Exactly !!!!!
Doesn't really matter whether it is legal or not legal people will still use it if it is what works for their issues.
Private grow is already in the Bill RESEARCH IS THE KEY 🔑 JUST READ 📚 👌 The Florida State Legislature could provide by state law for the licensure of entities other than existing Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers to cultivate and sell marijuana products.[1] private growing yall just dont read.😢😮😢
Thankful that he is taking the time to explain this to his people.
He is deceptively lying by not giving all the facts. Very disappointing i thought he was a honest person.
The amendment was drafted exactly how the Florida Supreme Court said it had to be drafted to comply with the single subject rule.
It's not a monopoly there's more than 20 different companies operating in Florida now that have also contributed to the campaign.
They are not a Canadian company they're based out of Florida.
No one will be smoking in restaurants just like cigarettes.
Cigarette-smoking is not a constitutionally enshrined right.
He’s saying it’s bad we can’t grow our own but we also can’t test our own stuff for the heavy metals , filth . Molds etc
Fully Agree.
Actually these amendments give Us the people more power
I love Desantis
But don’t lie to us!!!
That’s all Desantis does is lie
You are apparently not well informed.
What part did he lie? He's being truthful. These companies don't want you to grow it yourself. It's about money to them.
@@willli8163Not he don't.
@ that’s all America is about is money, your people die in the parking lots of hospitals because they didn’t have insurance 🤦♂️
People should not be Pro- Marijuana. Any drugs creates weak citizens which lead to weak communities etc.
Why are we not prohibiting alcohol or tobacco?
Sometimes marijuana is lacing with fentanyl , and then parents can not sue the company.
Legal businesses would still have to adhere to safety. They don't need to lace their product. There are only 3 major companies in Florida, and mostly, it's just the one that dominates the state.
The shit off the streets are laced because that one person needs people hooked.
The legalized weed stores have very clean products.The problem is the potency is so much higher than something you could grow at home on your own, And therefore your brain is deteriorating much faster than it would if you were smoking some homegrown weed
@julesprice5805 that's false. You can grow just as potent at home. It's actually easier to grow more potent at home as you have more control over your plants. I do agree that high percentages is a problem. Most people don't need that potent of a product.
@@shadedundaAnd what’s going to stop the shady black-market dealers once this passes? What’s worse, what’s going to stop people from smoking the fentanyl-laced crap anywhere in public (producing secondhand smoke we’ll all be forced to inhale) once recreational use is enshrined in the state constitution? It will be legally impossible to enact or enforce bans or restrictions.
I hope Georgia is paying attention and don't make the same mistake
I live in Florida I signed the petition for amendment 3. Then our state powers that be tried to not allow it to be on the ballot but they had to allow it cause there were more signatures then the minimum that they needed and DeSantis has been fighting it ever since. We can't grow it here now even with a medical license. Which I have a license. As the medical marijuana system is set up in Florida only dispensaries are allowed to grow and sell. The ones that wrote the amendment 3 tried to make it bare bones because Florida powers that be don't want it legal here they have in the past thwarted efforts before. If we don't vote yes now we may never get the chance again. Plus the amendment 3 needs 60% or more yes votes to make it legal.
This should’ve been done before early voting
I smoked when I was young, I don't think it helps anyone unless prescribed, just like alcohol didn't help anyone. I know it's popular and I know it will eventually be legalized thru our our country just like alcohol then later on we will back 😊
all it does is lead to degeneracy and complacency to actual issues plaguing government. better off being sober and aware.
So why are we not banning alcohol or the pain killers pushed by big pharma?
@7:53, actually, now that I have my marijuana license, cops can't arrest me or fine me, but they try to take me to jail for DWI, instead.
You want to complain but not provise an alternative. Your unwillingness to compromise is exactly why this company thinks it'll get away with this, and they may even.
Vote YES!
Done really need the citizens of Florida to be any dumber?
Your right it’s bad with all the alcohol at least legalized it will be a safe alternative to health and a natural organic plant that grows from the ground from GOD revelation 22:2 there are 91% of the us that support the legalization of recreational and medical only 9% are not YES ON 3 WE THE PEOPLE
I don't care about the smell (those commercials aren't very good at convincing anyone) I don't like it but it's not as bad as cigarette smoke which is disgusting & it's just as bad as alcohol so I'm not knocking people for wanting to do it & I actually don't mind the requirement of licensing because you want producers to be licensed but what I do mind is establishing a law rather than the removal of the criminalization so the Canadian company that wrote the amendment can only benefit their company from within our state while making it harder for smaller weed businesses. This company wants to hijack our state the same way the elites have hijacked California & NY. We need to legalize weed by decriminalizing it & creating a faire playing field for all producers not just this one Canadian company who also doesn't want responsibility from people getting hurt because their product. It's a shame this is what we get rather than a decriminalization. Weed should be legal! Now we have to wait for another election to get it decriminalized.
This amendment literally decriminalizes weed LOL. If you don't like weed, just say it, stop talking nonsense. There are over 20 companies selling medical in FL and more licenses will be issues as per the amendment. We got to this point because the FL government will NEVER do anything about decriminalizing or legalizing weed no mater what. So that's what you get when you push the majority of the people who want to smoke and be left alone.
@ Yeah but it only gives the power & advantage to big corporations namely the one that wrote it & absolves them of any responsibility if their products hurt someone. In California, the black market got even bigger than it was before their corporate created laws & now they’re trying to get weed legalized. No one can grow it, sell it, or distribute without expensive licenses that small producers can’t afford. This is a law created by them to control the state from within the same way they did in California. If you’re some corporate shill that doesn’t care about small
Business than just say it & stop talking things you don’t know.
@@shechshire It actually says nothing about home grow which means it may be allowed or not. The legislation has 6 months to finalize the rules and they may add home grow. If they don't then in 2 years we can vote for another amendment that would allow home grow. However, if this amendment doesn't pass, there is zero chance we can get home grow. Blame Florida single subject rule for this. We just can't have both in a single amendment so we gotta do it step by step. As for corporations making profit, please wake up, this is America, the greediest country in the world. Do you own an apple product? If you do you are supporting the greediest company in the world. America is all about profit, profit, profit, profit,........profit. It's always about profit and it will always be about profit so if you don't want that, I suggest you go live in another country.
@ Corporations making profit isn’t a problem, please don’t gaslight. The problem is one company in particular making the law that primarily gives them a leverage above smash business & exempting them from legal responsibility if they harm someone.
@@shechshire Why do you care so much about this? Who cares if one company financed this? Do you think the other 19 companies are happy or sad about it? They are very happy that they didn't have to spend a penny and get rec weed so they can expand more and get more profit. All the people want is being able to get high quality weed at the store and not be bothered by the police. As far as exempting them from legal responsibility, how many alcohol companies have been sued for selling alcohol to people who have overdosed and died or got into a car accident and died? You are obviously anti-weed and that's ok, just don't use some lame excuse as to why you don't like this bill. You will always vote no for weed bills because you don't like weed. I respect this decision of yours just don't be an idiot about it.
Thank you for providing education on this!
Yes education is the best! Yes on 3
This guy always has had my loyal and utter support but wow it’s dropping off heavy…..heavy af Ronald McDonald…..
I've already voted No.
It smells so bad. And if you think no one smells it on you, you're only kidding yourself. You smell, your home smells, anything in your home smells, your pets smell, the gifts you give others from your home smell. But hey, it's your right.
Yeah like cigarettes? Man gtfoh
Very disappointing i thought he was a honest person..
Amendment 3 was drafted exactly how the Florida Supreme Court said it had to be drafted to comply with the single subject rule..
Home grow was not allowed to be attached to amendment 3 because of the single subject rule.
It's not a monopoly there's more than 20 different companies with multiple stores each operating in Florida right now that have also contributed to the campaign.
Trulieve is not a Canadian company they're based out of Florida.
No one will be smoking in restaurants or anywhere they want just like cigarettes. Those laws come after the amendment passes. The amendment passes. That's how it works.
There's a difference between prison and jail.
Marijuana so-called offenders are fined and put in jail not prison.
Deceptive propaganda across the board.
legal genetically modified delta weed is being sold as regular weed in florida, its monopolized and its a scam
But he’s really mean to say IS

Wait a minute I think I hear an echo

So I love Florida first off. I did 3 work trips to Orlando and I love that city and Florida is ran well. With that being said while I understand, Denver is in a crisis at this point with being overrun by illegals, financially wise when Denver first legalized marijuana for recreation it brought a serious amount of cash to that state. so much so that they no longer need federal money like other states from what I hear from people that visit there. So I think legalization will help states like mine, which is Louisiana, Florida may not need that type of money because of the mass tourism the state brings every day
God made cannabis ......Genesis 9:3 KJV
Even if God made cannabis he didn't make it for recreational use
If you believe that, then God made STD's, cancer, death in general, ignorant people, and big corporations, too!
Yes he did REVELATION 22:2
Come on??!!... I'm republican and a 56 year old alcohol/speed recovered addict for 2.5.years... And all we got is Delta 8 here and a $20 a week vaping cartridge keeps me extremely happy...
Quit pissing with the pot and just leave it be free
I really hope for homegrow one day, I’d like the ability to grow my own without having to shell out top dollar for quality weed that I could make orginically in my backyard and know exactly what’s going in it, I’m tired of getting dry weed from the dispos that has no taste
A freaking amendment?? Remember how stupid prohibition was? We have 2 boogers on the American constitution
1. Make alcohol illegal
2. Make it legal again.
A constitution is supposed to encapsulate the spirit of laws passed in the land. It is supposed to represent core identities and truths. I'm not against legalization, but why on Earth would you put "marijuana" in a document about core identities and truths? Just make it legal through a regular bill procedure if anything.
Cuz the representatives and the governor would never even consider doing that, so the amendment puts the power back in the people’s hands not the representatives
Alcohol should be illegal and last time I checked successful people.
Are not smoking marijuana on a regular basis?Nor drinking alcohol on a regular basis or they will no longer be successful.
Therefore it should not be legalized because it will only lead to a lesser quality of the human species, It will also make our children and young.Adults think it's okay to do or try, and it is a gateway.Drug that leads to heavier stronger more addictive drugs.
Soo many people are in jail for weed, a year ago my friend got caught with less than a zip and said they treated him like st8 shit n while he was dying in the hospital from cancer they were still trying to take him to jail cause he couldn't afford the fines n he died while having to deal with that BS
Good.
I’d ban cigarettes first honestly as a non smoker of anything ever..I think bigger health issues are with cigarettes but weed should be mostly smoked privately.dont vote yes on this one
Everyone should be voting NO on 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6! Im unsure about 5, but thank you DeSantis I will be voting no on all ammendments!!!!!
VOTE NO. Stop the legal cartel !!!!!! VOTE NO.
Don't listen to DeSantis, it's just the marijuana biz, it's not a cartel, it's legal taxable OTC medication, might as well be Tylenol
Weed is legal in other states, because people don't want to buy off street people. Florida is backwards what you just said proves that.
pass it and then decriminalize growing it yourself
