“Floridians who want to use weed already use weed. They use weed in private. They use weed in public. They’ll continue to do so. They don’t need your approval or your permission. Would it be NICE to just have the stuff fully legal, at least to the extent that those who use it don’t find themselves at (minimal, but real) risk of arrest for personal possession? Yes, it would. Would the failure of Amendment 3 reduce marijuana use in Florida? No, it wouldn’t. This shouldn’t surprise you. Marijuana is informally referred to as ‘weed’ for a reason: It grows pretty much everywhere in the wild. It isn’t difficult to grow at home, either. Human beings have used it and valued it both medically and recreationally for as long human beings have existed.” (09/01/24)
