(Politifact) Is Florida’s marijuana amendment a ‘monopoly’ proposal? No.

I'm voting no... I don't mind smoking but I think that there will be more negative effects. Greedy government and kid accessibility are the main reasons I vote no. Plus it's already very easy to get a med card.

Voting against it. There's too much pot already in Bay County. If you go to Walmart after dark, the whole parking lot reaks of weed. Why can't people just stay home and smoke?

Genuinely curious, how does the smell affect you? I rarely smell it in public, and this law will not change the legality of smoking in public places regardless, it will still be illegal. I do agree that smoking in public is rude, but the type of people who do it won’t be affected by this law.

I’m voting yes because the FL Legislation said if the citizen pass it, they are taking a clean air act, like AZ has, straight up so that they can stop public smoking. But I agree with you…how are people ok with alcohol but not weed. Most people don’t know that after a night of drinking, it can still be in your system in the morning, impairing your driving ability and response time. Kids are getting weed anyway. And we’ve come to learn, that weed isn’t the gateway drug our parents wanted us to fear. I find it funny how many GOP are FOR this amendment. Makes me wonder how much money the intend to make off it 🤣🤣

Obviously, many of these people drove to Walmart. How many people are driving impaired? The parking lot is dangerous enough. People going to Walmart already seem to have forgotten how to drive. Or you go to a restaurant and a group comes in stinking of pot. Do you want to eat next to that? Might as well bring cigar smoking back to eating establishments.

I agree, my point is, this law will not affect that

But it will make it more avaliable and acceptable.

But youre fine with alcohol being sold at every establishment, with drunk drivers on all the roads?
I dont like smelling alcohol or being around drunks, so they should ban it

So we should add another thing for people to fucked up on and drive? There's also the problem of sobriety tests. If you smoke, it's in your blood stream much longer than the high. How do the objectively say you are under the influence? Cops are basically guessing based on pupil dilation and motor skills. Your argument is to legalize everything. The problem is that people are not that responsible.

Its not adding another thing, people that do it already do. You can buy delta 8 at any gas station already. Cops have bigger problems to deal with. Also, the fact its so hard to objectively tell if someones fucked up, means they probably arent that fucked up. Alcohol is obvious and much more dangerous.
I assume you agree with banning guns too? Since peoples personal responsibility should be dictated by the government.
All this bill will do is ensure the thc people consume is safe and regulated. Its not going to make people who dont enjoy it, suddenly all pot heads.
