Amendment 3 - Leagalizing marijuana recreational use

Trump throws support behind Florida pot legalization as DeSantis fights it

This is one thing for which I disagree with Trump

Trump also said he supported reclassifying marijuana under federal law.

DeSantis said Amendment 3 would allow people to carry enough pot to make dozens of joints and smoke them anywhere they want.

He said states such as Colorado, where marijuana has already been legalized recreationally, had failed to restrict places where the drug is consumed.

“Public use of this will be rampant,” DeSantis said. “You can’t point to a state that is better off for doing it.”

Some 33 states have legalized medical cannabis, while 11 states and Washington DC have also legalized recreational use. But cannabis use remains illegal at the federal level.

The US government's own National Institute on Drug Abuse states that "some research suggests that marijuana use is likely to precede use of other licit and illicit substances". It cites experiments on animals that show increased responsiveness to other drugs after being exposed to substances containing cannabis.

The Wisconsin Department of Justice claimed, "In Wisconsin, marijuana overdose visits in emergency rooms equal to heroin or morphine [sic], twice as common as Valium." [National_Institute_on_Drug_Abuse]

Why can't people be high on God, read the Bible , learn about Jesus, go to church, pray? Pot is not the solution, it destroys a country and makes it more a narco state.

Hated it in the Sixties and hate it more now. Can't wait to vote no on this one. Trump is pandering with this one! There are two kinds of people involved in this. The idiots who don't want to ever have to face reality, and the demons who are growing it and stand to make a fortune. Like that idiot who used to have her name on all the gas pumps. Nikki Fried. Rot in Hell Nikki!
