1. Car insurance may go up? Florida has the most uninsured drivers at 20%. Legalize pot and you may see an increase in car accidents? Pot does reduce reaction times and contributes to poor decision making so it's just another contributing factor. If you're hit twice in 3 years you'll not be able to get insurance for 3 years even if those 2 accidents are minor and not your fault. Florida is a no fault state. I was hit as a passenger while at a stop sign and then hit at a stoplight. Neither accident was my fault but my insurance was canceled. I had to buy a motorcycle to get around for 3 years. My insurance was double when I was able to get it again.
2. The last house I owned in The Villages, my neighbor behind me smoked pot and I couldn't open my windows on cool nights because it would fill the house up if the wind was blowing it my way. There was a 6 ft fence between us. He smoked on his back lanai. The first time it happened I had to leave the house because it was too late to do anything about. My house was full of skunk odor for hours. I guess the wind was blowing just right that evening?
3. Have you been to a state that Legalized pot? Everywhere you go may smell like a skunk. I experienced this in Colorado. If you don't like the smell of cigarettes and cigars you probably won't like pot either.
I'm ok with medical marijuana and voted for it as I believe it may help those who are suffering. Legalizing it for pure enjoyment is not something I can vote for.
