    Anti Drug Alliance is funded by Purdue Pharma and several other pharmaceutical drug makers…enough said

    Why would they worry about the kids getting pot, they already have all they want even with it being illegal. They money the state would make and the drop in the crime rate would be significant. They could then release the people they put behind bars for something far less dangerous than alcohol.

    I can’t believe people actually think weed is dangerous. People are dangerous, weed doesn’t make them dangerous.

    You wonder when the selfish patented drug makers will realize that they are making a huge mistake by lobbying against this and by corrupting our leaders. Their plan is back firing and they are ruining their reputation.
    The shameful woman in here who says, “we don’t need this legalized in our state,” is clearly a liar and a hateful human being.
    How could you feel ok about taking a plant medicine away from people in order to help people sell Advil, Tylenol, or OxyContin? Those are the people who are against this plant and they will go to hell forever if they don’t change their ways. God will not let them get away with this.
    Notice how she says, “marijuana on crack,” this is a classic tactic of Big Pharma, dually stigmatizing 2 unpatentable drugs that they compete with, hoping that people do not understand that they are liars.
    Cocaine is next, and all the other drugs they are lying about too. I am praying to God for this and I know He will hear me.
    May God forgive that lying woman in this video and all people like her who love money more than human beings.

    As long as more small farmers can get the opportunity NOT just the rich MOFOS with connections to the POLITICIANS!



  6. kashkings on November 24, 2023 at 5:05 pm

    They need to legalize and pardon all misdemeanor marijuana convictions,I was deported for possession of less than 2 grams.I was a tax paying resident who lived in Florida for the majority of my life.



  7. GodTap - Tribulation Official on November 24, 2023 at 5:06 pm

    Recreational use same as spiritual use?



  8. shaun Strobel on November 24, 2023 at 5:06 pm

    Why would you want to reject medical marijuana recreational the government make a lot more money in medical marijuana is better than smoking cigarettes because cigarettes give you cancer and marijuana fight cancer and helps a lot more things than what people think so quit playing stupid and legalize medical marijuana for medical people and recreational like I say, the government would make a lot more money if they would quit playing stupid and legalize it for recreational

  11. Mike Payne on November 24, 2023 at 5:12 pm

    They will push the taxes raised and the voters will go for it.



  12. teresa dempsey on November 24, 2023 at 5:13 pm

    Look at the price if you don’t.



  13. Fusion Developer on November 24, 2023 at 5:16 pm

    I don’t trust a man that says he can’t stand the smell of flowers.



  14. Victor Bruce on November 24, 2023 at 5:17 pm

    THC is legal, FDA approved, in Marinol (Dronabinol), CBD is legal, FDA approved in Epidiolex, Hemp is legal again, US Farm Bill.

    What part of the plant is still illegal?



  15. James Bell on November 24, 2023 at 5:17 pm

    I love how they completely discount the success of other states to push the same propaganda and rhetoric that is easily debunked.

    It’ does not cause more people to use MJ nor has it had a damning effect on people in any of the 32 states that have legalized it. They just want another way to keep putting people in jail and extorting money from them through the courts. Fla needs to worry about the cocain and fentanyl issues WAY more than MJ



  16. Victor Vasquez on November 24, 2023 at 5:18 pm

    DeSantanic needs to smoke a joint , perhaps he would mellow out and stop being such a fascist .



  17. Kevin "The Big Willey" Willey on November 24, 2023 at 5:19 pm

    Some of these opponents really irritate me luckily I don’t speak wrong fluently so…. come on people get with the program if you can’t see from the evidence from the legalization for medical use that the benefits out weigh the mostly over exaggerated risks and make this legal for adult use. Too much to ramble on about hear but I am tired of big government treating me like a child telling me I can’t have a cookie before dinner



  18. World Cannabis Club TV™ on November 24, 2023 at 5:20 pm

    Go for it, the future is bright.



  19. Fusion Developer on November 24, 2023 at 5:23 pm

    It’s not the dispensary that wants it legal, it’s the citizens.
    A business only wants to sell products that people want to buy. If people didn’t want to buy it, they would close down their business.
    People want to buy cannabis, so places selling cannabis, such as dispensaries, want it to be open to the public so that the public who wants it, can buy it.



  20. Frank J on November 24, 2023 at 5:23 pm

    C’mon DeSantis whats the holdup?



  21. shaun Strobel on November 24, 2023 at 5:25 pm

    That girl says that marijuana is like crack crack will freaking kill you. Marijuana will never kill you, unless if it is mixed with some other drugs.



  22. cassels2010 on November 24, 2023 at 5:26 pm

    She said Florida doesn’t need another intoxicant,she doesn’t think it’s already there?



  23. Gilberto Soto on November 24, 2023 at 5:27 pm

    legalize it !!!!



  24. Fusion Developer on November 24, 2023 at 5:27 pm

    Healthcare costs go down due to cannabis use due to it’s medicinal properties.
    If you are against cannabis, you should be far more strongly against alcohol and tobacco, which are the bad intoxicants.
    Even caffeine is more dangerous than cannabis. Many people die from caffeine overdose.



  25. V.V. Argost on November 24, 2023 at 5:27 pm

    LEGALIZE IT!!!!!!!



  26. Donald Cowling on November 24, 2023 at 5:28 pm

    Legalize it and help the vets



  27. Justin Alderman on November 24, 2023 at 5:29 pm

  28. EqualTequila on November 24, 2023 at 5:30 pm

    It’s easier to get weed from the government than food stamps



  29. Michael on November 24, 2023 at 5:31 pm

    California is way ahead of these red states.



  30. Nate Gibson on November 24, 2023 at 5:35 pm

    Legalize it



  31. Mr kery on November 24, 2023 at 5:35 pm

    so instead of making it legal we have idiots who think the average voters are crackheads



  32. Tech4Life on November 24, 2023 at 5:37 pm

    Its got my vote.



  33. Tim Blanton on November 24, 2023 at 5:38 pm

    Goes to show how ignorant politicians are.



  34. Steve Ritacco on November 24, 2023 at 5:39 pm

    Hell yeah legalize it!



  35. nathanas64 on November 24, 2023 at 5:39 pm

    Definitely support this and I’m a diehard DeSantis supporter !
    From a pharmacological point of view marijuana is way safer than alcohol and has been used by humans since antiquity and probably before that.
    It is also an excellent pain killer for many conditions.
    People should not require a doctor’s permission to use it.



  36. micc fischer on November 24, 2023 at 5:42 pm

    Someone needs to educate Moody and all the naysayer’s, have them all tell us how many deaths are caused yearly from alcohol and tobacco! And we should be allowed to grow 2-4 plants ourselves. And not let corporate control it solely.



  37. Miami Chico on November 24, 2023 at 5:43 pm

    Legalize this crap already



  38. Matt Dorsey on November 24, 2023 at 5:43 pm

    What’s marijuana on crack like?



  39. Fusion Developer on November 24, 2023 at 5:44 pm

    Republicans will do everything they can, kicking and screaming, to keep people in Florida from being allowed to vote on having yet another freedom.
    Get ready for propaganda scare tactics from the GOP.



  40. DragonflyGenetics420 on November 24, 2023 at 5:45 pm

    It’s funny how blindly the people that are against cannabis in Florida act like it’s not already happening. Cannabis isn’t being used in fl. What a joke. Cannabis is the only gateway drug to keep people in jail because they can p*** test you every month and catch you on marijuana



  41. Donnell Hudson on November 24, 2023 at 5:45 pm

    Finally



  42. addiction perfun on November 24, 2023 at 5:47 pm

  44. DARK MATTER on November 24, 2023 at 5:53 pm

    The people wants it the majority wants it but the minority government says no just shows the people your opinion doesn’t count just like your vote



  45. P T on November 24, 2023 at 5:56 pm

  46. pgcubanoable on November 24, 2023 at 5:56 pm

    Cant believe people are still getting arrested for this plant. Legalize it aready!



  47. Victor Bruce on November 24, 2023 at 5:59 pm

    FL AG Ashley Moody tells Supreme Court the amendment is misleading, should not be allowed on ballot. Saying the amendment cannot allow marijuana because it is not allowed by federal law.

    She is saying the current medical marijuana amendment which allows marijuana is faulty, and should not have been allowed on the ballot. likewise that all state legislators and agency officials having anything to do with implementing laws, rules and policy allowing marijuana for unlawful medical use are in violation of the law.



  48. Malcolm Olivera on November 24, 2023 at 5:59 pm

    Yes to Florida recreational Marijuana



  49. Typical Germ on November 24, 2023 at 5:59 pm
