There already is a severe shortage of truck drivers due to drug tests——and this idiot want to legalize MJ???
Wasn’t Crist a so-called Repubic at one time ?
Charlie Crust is one of the most gawd awful people in the world. Why do Floridians keep putting up this power hungry idiot? Banish him, please. I’ve been tired of him for 20 years.
Especially the pimple on your butt. That’s exactly what he is.
The purge starts this weekend if the politicians in Seattle and Chicago go forward with firing half the police and first responders
He should forget this nonsense and run on a platform based on individual liberty
The shortage of truck drivers is people don’t want to do that job. Long hours, lousy food, gone for weeks at a time. I’ve done it. It nearly wrecked my health.
Make it not illegal. Just a wild guess.
Add a bunch of casinos too so Florida will be a land of gamblers and pot heads.

Truck driving is a love or hate profession. You either love it or hate it. I loved it myself.
Things have changed though.
The pay hasn’t kept up with costs and pay for other professions. And do you believe FedGov has truck driving listed as an unskilled profession. Really.
The Hours of Service regs were changed , maybe 10 years ago, and people who knew trucking, who knew and studied sleep and sleep patterns weren’t invited to participate. Unless it’s been changed a driver is basically chained to the steering wheel. Can’t split his sleeper berth time to take advantage of his/her particular sleep needs.
Add in the electronic logs that I tried and hated. Mandated don’tcha know.
Most companies now are using routing software that dictate where a driver can purchase fuel and how many gallons at each fuel stop. I saw a drivers routing that had him making four fuel stops in one day. That eats up your driving time.
Would I go into driving today?
No way in hell.
Well I know I do not want him!
Here in Washington, legalizing marijuana seemed to coincide with an increase in homelessness, vagrancy, shoplifting, litter, and a general unwillingness to work. This supposedly harmless drug is NOT harmless for people with certain personality predispositions.
It should be voted on by Floridians to decide.
What would be not illegal? Giving pot to children? Selling out of your car?
Totally or more appropriately (for Florida), he is like that cockroach you keep stepping on but cannot kill it.
It’s legal in MA & very heavily regulated. You have to go to a dispensary. I enjoy alcohol & not marijuana, but I firmly believe it should be legalized.
I grew up with old hippie parents who loved getting high with their friends. My father usually had a garbage bag in the freezer with pot. So it’s never held a fascination for me. I rebelled by being a straight arrow.
I also hate the smell of it ; )
