It’s unfortunate but the ballot initiative is almost certain to pass.

I don’t understand why they can’t manage to get these high rat turnout props on the primary ballots. It is so obvious

A couple of things that might be hopeful, Florida voters have consistently voted against casino gambling except when run by the Seminole Tribe and it takes 60% to pass a constitutional amendment in Florida

BTW, Republicans outnumber Democrats by nearly 900,000

I am libertarian when it comes to pot. However, he is correct. It stinks to high heaven, and you smell it everywhere in Chicago. It stinks on people's clothes and skin; you smell it everywhere, even where people cannot smoke. It is an unintended consequence. Legalizing pot drives up the cost because of taxes and overhead. So you still have to contend with illegal sales, just like moonshiners.

They spent decades genetically developing stronger pot. Could someone not find a way to make it smell neutral or at least less like a rabid skunk?

“It's unfortunate but the ballot initiative is almost certain to pass.”

I'm afraid so, but it is not a certainty.

Adoption requires a 60 percent supermajority.

And hopefully a lot of the older refuges flooding into Florida from northern third-world states will think twice before voting to give drug-stupor franchises to fast food workers and nurses.

The counter argument is that alcohol kills a lot of people so why not expand the list to include other deadly drugs so more people will die an early death, or killed outright.

Do what the gun grabbers do and declare everything a no pot zone.
