Gov. DeSantis, Joe Ladapo electioneer against recreational pot initiative in Pensacola

[RandySF]

Florida’s Governor and Surgeon General continue to offer dire warnings about a constitutional amendment that would legalize adult-use marijuana beyond the current medical framework.

On Friday at the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, Gov. Ron DeSantis and Joe Ladapo, the state’s top doc, issued familiar claims about the “corporate carveout” amendment, the impacts of marijuana on quality of life for adults and “kids” alike, the pecuniary motivations of pot companies, while adding new material to a road-tested repertoire.

DeSantis noted that there are already a “helluva lot of weed stores in Florida,” adding that “doctors” involved in medical marijuana think Amendment 3 “will be bad for that.”

MMJ patients must now get a doctor’s certification, often after brief consultations to ascertain eligibility.

DeSantis also voiced concerns that the amendment does not facilitate “freedom” by not having a home-growing provision, saying, “You cannot grow your own under this amendment.”

1. He's a moron, as always.

Judging by the signs along major roads everyfuckingwhere, that initial “exam” consists of paying someone $145 for a script. The “eligibility” is merely whether you have the money for pay them for five minutes of their time. Great quality control, Florida. *eyeroll*

I keep reading that we’re on a tack to easily pass the 60% yeas to pass this despite this moron’s campaign against it.

Then we work on banning him from the governor’s office ASAP.
