- Those pushing for recreational marijuana this November say Tuesday marked the “real launch” of their campaign to make it happen. A media blitz is now underway to convince voters to approve legalization for those 21 and up. Smart and Safe Florida is behind the effort- launching four new ads, their first major effort of the election cycle. The $5 million ad buy will start this week and get blasted out across broadcast, cable, streaming, radio, and digital platforms.
Would rather smell Cannabis than cigarettes
With cigarettes, it plainly stinks whereas with Cannabis the aroma doesnt stain your walls & clothing & your mouth doesnt taste like an ash tray.
Also, if some people don't enjoy the aroma of Cannabis, thats on them because the aroma is not like the smoke of ciggarettes.
Everyone should call their US senators and encourage them to sign on to Senate bill CAOA that legalizes cannabis at the federal level. 18 have and 43 more needed. Let's get this passed !
Pot smoke smells like incense to me.
Or bus exhaust.
@@zzzxxzzz3248- Exactly! 👍
Why dont they make alcohol illegal? It is worse than marijuanua.
ummmm....they did that once Einstein, it was called the freaking prohibition era and it was a damned disaster from top to bottom, just watch any single video on it to learn why the government restricting what we do with our bodies is never going to work.
i can't believe there's actually still people completely ignorant of the prohibition era...
They tried that 100 years ago. Literally, it was called Prohibition. Look it up. You can see what actually happened.
@@smrk2452moron we know that
If we do that again we can just double or triple the tax on alcohol but we won’t ban it again
Why do you say alcohol and not booze...why do you call CANNABIS this way??? Marijuana have a bad connotation and it's how mainstream medias call it...fck them!
So we won't allow marijuana but we'll let people smoke a highly addictive substance that has no health benefits whatsoever?
Nicotine is a stimulant.
That's America for ya
Because the representatives represent corporate and business interests not the actual people
Tobacco should have been a Schedule 1 drug instead of cannabis because of that. Not saying it actually should be - I think prohibition usually backfires.
I’m a senior that lives in Florida and I am voting yes on amendment 3
IMO, If you drink alcohol you have no right chiming in on your stance against legalization.
Or cigs or prescription pills. No hypocrits in 2024

There is no such thing as second hand alcohol, but there is such a thing as second hand smoke.

Allow people to grow their own and possess their own. We don’t need large corporations cornering the market.
ALLOW? ARE YOU NOT AN ADULT? WE DO NOT BEG FOR GOVERNMENT PERMISSION! I AM THE LAW! THEY WORK FOR US!
I’m Canadian, I’ve got 4 plants going as we speak. I will get enough for the year and the cost is about 40 dollars.
You sound anti American 😂
@@randylahey7343 it cost a lot more than $40 to start growing
@@TheOmeiit really doesn’t when growing outdoors. I grew my last plant for about $30 bucs and got a half an pound. And that’s including a pot that I bought. Which I used again.
The price of marijuana at dispensaries is too high. It should be lowered.
true...especially if it's medical.
but it being legal recreationally makes growing it in population dense areas easier
If recreational gets legalized it the price will start to go down. it has gone down in most recreational states.
They’ve come down a lot over time. There’s killer sales everyday at some if not all dispos. I’m with you though.

Fine, let's start to criminalize alcohol and see how that goes 😂
Alcohol is one of the large contributing factors to Behavioral Health episodes and diseases in America. I rather deal with Cali sober folks than winos in an alley any day. A homeless cannabis person is going to be friendly and more work able than a full fledged alcoholic hobo.
Next in Florida.
Didn't we already do that? Ended badly
@OfficialStellarCore exactly let's relive that so that modern day people can remember how dumb it is for the government to tell us what not to put in our own bodies.
You would think we would learn from our past. Guess not
"Children at risk" is always there go-to statement. Risk of what ? That man has shown his true colors and should not be allowed another elected term. Paranoid . Most of us are adults you know. I never cared what the government says or doesn't say anyways. Remember People This is only the beginning of us winning our freedom back. The days of government worrying about what brand of cigarettes you smoke should be over.

It is safer. And we've all grown up smelling industrial plant pollution for decades. And cheap cigar smell is still the worst.
Marijuana is a relatively safe intoxicant if used in moderation.
Hopefully any legalization will allow growing for personal use.
Legalization will produce a lot of employment opportunities.

Does this bill allow homegrown and small businesses or is it like Hawai’i’s failed attempt to corner the market by the handful of corrupt anticompetitive corporations?
If there's anyway DeSantos can make money it'll be from payoffs from corporations to monopolizing the market.
Stop drug testing people for marijuana if you’re going to make it federally legal. I would rather deal with high people at work than drunk people and yes, people show up to work drunk. You can smell the alcohol on their breath

What's interesting about Florida is that it has a lot of Older Folks.
Even though Cannabis is associated with the Youth, If this Passes, Its actually the older community who will benfit from THC/CBD Alternatives to their Pain Medications.
I started out usinf Cannabis as a Wild Youth, But 10 Years ago when i was 24 o suffered an injury which left me with a Pinch Left Sciatica Nerve.
Long story short, after th Narcos from thr doc were messing with me, and rhe 600mg Ibuprofen were messing with my stomach, Cannabis is what lead me to the road ro recovery long term.
That's when i lesrned the true benefits of it. Orhers also deserve to have reduced pains without blowing a hole in youe stomach from the pills.
It took this long for big pharma involved.
Illinois literally has a subsection of their Cannabis Law that prohibits people from smoking cannabis in public.
If Arizona did it then Florida will be easy!
It's time for Florida to make history this fall, by becoming the 1st state in the south to legalize it.
ron loves the class warfare
He’s an idiot. Canada is fine with it legal. I don’t use it myself but our quality of life is not at all upset by legalization

Shit if Florida goes legal I'll be taking my vacation in Florida, it will drive tourism up

Let's face it Florida is a great state and it will be even better when cannabis is legal
Imagine over crowding prisons and jails because they dont like certain "smells"
I dont like the smell of indian food or patchouli but imagine the backlash if we made that trash illegal
People who say they like Indian food call you racist when you point out Indian street food. Yet, we are supposed to believe, coming out of the same mouth, that street food is the soul of a city and by extension country. Yet somehow not a representation. I'm sorry, I couldn't care less about what some bougie restaurant provides in a country if we are supposed to believe that street food is where the heart is, and the street food has literal rats in the bowls, flies in swarms around and on the meat, and people dipping their limbs into the food while handling money. And it's one thing when you see it every once in a while in a run-down area, it's another when that's all you see.

Personally I prefer 15mg gummies (shipped from Miami) and Cigars (also shipped from FLA). 🤗
Michigan here, our quality of life here is just fine.
Florida is always 20 years behind the Northern States on just about everything. But there are two things they are way ahead of , no state tax and no vehicle inspections hope they keep it that way; The stuff you get on the street is probably better anyway. Diispensarys think their selling precious metal.
There are quite a few states w/o state taxes but Florida has high sales tax to make up for no state tax. Florida use to have a very restrictive vehicle inspection with state run inspection stations. Almost no states have inspections now.
Florida has weak edibles 10 mg per peace unlike new jersey who have 50mg gummies or higher I got edibles 400 mg 16 pieces 25 mg per pieces
Unless you're a heavy user or treating serious pain medically, 10 mg is not weak. For many new users, 10 mg is double or more what they should start with.

@@mikegordon8178 I don't think it should be illegal. I've worked to change that for at least 30 years.
People's tolerance and metabolism varies widely. A lot of factors can affect absorption with edibles including what other food they are eaten in close proximity to, body weight, liver enzymes etc. If I ate a whole bag I'd probably puke and then be laying on the floor until midnight the next day.
It also depends on the type of gummy. A lot of what people are getting out there, particularly in states without legalization, is not real THC at all. It's Delta-8 or other analogues cooked up from hemp-derived CBD. That tends to be much less potent, but its effects and quality control are all over the map.

Shouldnt go further than medicinal. But medicinal should be available to anyone who wants it. Thats the best policy.
All that accomplishes is upping the price in the black market. Getting a medical card is cost prohibitive & not an option to veterans unless they want to lose VA care. Also many folks don't want to give the state that kind of info (you've seen our Governor right) to get a card. All this results in a more thriving black market, thus more violent crime.

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeb
It's already "recreational". You just have a pay a doctor to give you permission. I have stress... here's your card. Why not just make it recreational to begin with?
That’s called medical. Depending on the state, it can be really hard.

@@nikolai6489 You missed the point. If all you have to do is go to a a doctor and say I have stress... Why bother? That's recreational.
@@2424cmartini That’s medical, and not only that but most states require an actual medical issue. Not all states it’s super easy. I understand you have no clue, but don’t try to be right, bro. It isn’t recreational since not everyone can.
@@2424cmartini In Md it’s super easy but we got recreational. Some states it’s easy but I know Florida it is a little difficult. Plus, the fees and cost differ big per state so
I've been smoking 28 years and I say Don't Legalize It, these scumbags only care about money.
Try Thailand it works well there
I am voting, no !
Why are you hating?
Then we need to ban alcohol and tobacco too. If we can’t smoke bud, we not a free country. Imagine saying you can’t smoke a plant, but then allow alcohol and tobacco. Smh
