She’s a jive turkey who is quite possibly in her seat due to election fraud. Hopefully, she’ll be hitting the road in November.

Yes, the queer FL agriculture secretary who stole an election from a legitimate 5th Gen. Floria FARMER/Rancher who produces... FOOD.

No, Nikki Fried made “marijuana cultivation” and “medical marijuana” her centerpiece of the campaign.... pot growers, for pot for “medicine” (a fraud) an so the pot heads can eat imported high carb snacks and oreo knockoffs.

Appalling greedy moron chickie from S. Florida. An...attorney. In charge of certification of FL gasoline pumps at stations... among many other responsibilities of AG Secretary. Whacked out

Glad she’s got a plan B because she’s got about as much of a chance of beating my supergovernor as I do. Lol!

OBTW......she’s a nasty piece of work that one.

Pretty much carny folk.....small hands...smells like cabbage.

She has the appropriate last name for someone who wants to push for the legalization of pot in Florida.

I do not want pot legalized. I saw what that did to Colorado while I lived there. It destroyed far too much and far too many lives.

Recreational marijuana will be legalized by ballot initiative in Florida. Florida is NOT a socially conservative state outside of the lightly populated portions of the “pork chop.”

Hi.

In Florida there is medical marijuana.

In Florida there is illegal marijuana all over the place. Comes in from CA, CO and S. America.

In Florida illegal marijuana is cheaper and better than you can buy at the dispensaries. Easily predictable.

In Florida you must have over 20 gr to get a ticket. $50.
A pound will still get you busted.

This is a non issue.

Wait I thought the Dems had another person running... someone named Gavin Newsom. 🤓 His slogan is Make Florida Like California!

No, Sunshine, booze does not. We didn’t have the destruction of the public areas, the homelessness, the violence and crime, the DUI and resulting deaths, etc.

Nice tripe of a statement you’ve got there but the numbers and results do not lie.

No John Moron (aka John Morgan of Morgan & Morgan) helped her win by having a medical marijuana law on the ballot.

I wouldn’t call 130K a huge stake, just a significant one.
