High stakes: upcoming recreational marijuana case will have far-reaching impact


A high-stakes legal showdown over the future of recreational marijuana in Florida is just weeks away, as the state’s highest court prepares to hear oral arguments in a case with far-reaching implications. At the center of the drama is Smart and Safe Florida, the organization campaigning to tweak the state’s constitution in a way that would green-light the use of recreational marijuana. The group’s investment is massive; backers like Trulieve have funneled at least $40 million into the group to get the issue in front of voters. On the other side of the issue stands Attorney General Ashley Moody, who, along with the Florida Chamber of Commerce and the Drug Free American Foundation, has taken the legal sword against the proposed language, leading to a clash that promises as many twists and turns as a suspense novel.....Read More

Recreational marijuana, abortion rights seek spots on 2024 ballot


Will recreational marijuana make it on the 2024 ballot? 

‘Smart and Safe Florida’ is just more than 100K signatures shy of the threshold to make it on the ballot. They have until Feb 1 to get there. Then if the ballot language is approved, it will go to the voters.

Earlier this week, abortion rights supporters launched a new campaign aimed at protecting access to abortions. The group "Floridians Protecting Freedom" is heading up the push and was recently formed after the state passed the new 6-week restriction on abortion.

Florida's Right Wing Infestation

Two more Florida right wingers have come out against the medical marijuana ballot initiative. On Wednesday afternoon, Florida House Speaker 
Will Weatherford and Senate President Don Gaetz submitted a notice of intent to file a brief to the Supreme Court as “interested persons” opposing the ballot initiative. They join Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi......more
Governor candidate Nan Rich supports medical marijuana
They are  scared that if the amendment makes it to the ballot, it is widely expected to draw voters to the polls who may not normally vote in mid-term elections and who could potentially send  Gov. Rick Scott and other Republicans packing.
