Dems Secret Weapon in FL - Marijuana Dispensaries
The Democratic Party has a secret weapon working overtime in Florida to register new voters and get them to the polls - marijuana dispensary companies who want Amendment 3 to pass legalizing weed in Florida.
Florida currently allows medical marijuana, and it has by far the most number of people with medical marijuana cards of any other state. At the close of 2023, a staggering 831,775 Floridians had cards - nearly 4% of the population of the state. The next closest state is Oklahoma with 368,679.
The process to obtain a medical marijuana card is burdensome and expensive in Florida. You have to pay annual fees to the state. You have to make an appointment and pay a doctor every year. Then you have to pay premium prices from dispensaries, whose licenses are very limited and difficult to obtain. If you don't have a valid driver's license, or if your license has an incorrect address on it, you will be rejected.
The marijuana dispensary companies know that if Amendment 3 passes, their customer base will explode as people will no longer have to jump through hoops and pay exorbitant fees before they can buy their products. So they are pumping out emails and texts to their huge customer bases encouraging them to register to vote and show up at the polls.
