Florida's leaders have high hopes for legal recreational marijuana in 2020
Multiple efforts are underway to make legalized recreational marijuana a key issue in Florida next year.
There are a handful of organizations working to get the issue on the November 2020 ballot so Florida voters can have a say in the matter. Meanwhile, state lawmakers are considering their options to try and address the issue in the state legislature.
Then, there’s Florida’s Commissioner of Agriculture, Nikki Fried, who has been a champion for cannabis advocates from a variety of backgrounds.
“I think Florida is headed in the direction of recreational marijuana, though my focus has been on improving our state’s medical marijuana program, advocating for greater patient access and affordability, and building the nation’s best state hemp program,” Fried said, in a statement emailed to 10News.
“Cannabis has life-changing potential and will bring new tax revenue for education, infrastructure, affordable housing, jobs, and will help reform our criminal justice system, so I think people should absolutely have their say on bringing recreational marijuana to Florida.”

LEGALIZE MARIJUANA NOW FLORIDA
Were do I vote
They get high when they get home from work 🤣. 420! <3 The Republicans will legalize. Trump is republican and has never mentioned anything about marijuana. He only mentions Heroin, Fenayl, Cocaine(crack in general) when he speaks about drugs pouring in. I don’t really see marijuana as a real drug. I see it as s herbal supplement. Kinda like drinking a heavy cup of chamomile and lavender tea. Those actually contain drug type chemicals, but it’s not really classify as drugs. For example: coffee. Repliblicans are changing. They were super strict on marijuana before.
You take a gram of Xanax and I’ll take a gram of marijuana and let’s see who’s capable of driving a car. 🧐

Make it legal Florida will not allow you to grow your own shit, greedy companies behind this, don’t vote for it. Regulate Florida and Freedom for Floridians will allow you to grow your own. Spread the word and make the proper vote.
The main reason they should pass it is for all the pot heads that are struggling on a daily to get or hold down a job for pre employment testing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they should legalize cultivation too, marijuana prices matching gold for a plant when lettuce is almost free is the biggest rip off in history
Do it! Do it! Do it!

I hope they legalize I’m sick of smoking cigarettes I can barely breathe anymore I never had this problem from smoking weed my entire life of 15 years i’m 30 now. PLease guys vote I can breathe barley I’m getting emphysema at age 30 from smoking tobacco pack or 2 a week for year and a half. society wont hire me because I smoke weed so i’m forced to work at minium wage jobs and I work hard and im the black sheep of the family everyone tells me i’m a looser and i’m going to become stupid etc. if I can drink alcohol and smoke tobacco I don’t understand why I can’t legally smoke weed and not be fired for or not hired for having it in my system. people fought and died for our freedom what has weed acomplished being illegal? nothing but destroy millions of lives and families.
Past due.

Regulate Florida is the only amendment that allows adults to grow their own plants.
