Didn’t pass in Florida, though; so it’s not a wave of pot acceptance.
It’s a religion for some of the supporters.
Is the price of legal MJ now cheaper than illegal MJ in Colorado?
Florida needed 60% to pass a constitutional amendment. They got 57%. That’s pretty darn close.
And, for many people, this isn’t about pot acceptance. This is about pushing back the failed War on Drugs and accepting personal liberty.
We need to stop treating users like criminals and treat this as a public health issue. Put the money that we’re spending on the WOD into humane rehabilitation.
Right now, in Texas, it’s easier for kids to get a hold of meth or pot than it is for them to get beer.
We’re doing something very wrong.
Florida was just for medical marijuana, not recreational. I was surprised it didn’t pass.
The vote here in FL was 58-42 for "medical" marijuana. It didn't pass because the threshold necessary was 60%, but it will happen, because the supporters won't quit until it happens.
(Full disclosure: I was part of the 42%, and my county had a majority against the measure.)
