Go online and see what the residents in Eustis have had to endure with their new smoke house neighbor.

Keep letting them give away the farms, next we will have meth labs coming in.

County Commission approved it but now can’t help the residents with noise, smells, lights, armed guards and traffic.

I’m telling you fellow residents Ya need to pay attention to what’s being sold and developed it’s not all cotton candy and roses.

Are you referring to the old articles from 2019 or is there something more recent?

You don't want residents residing near you but you also don't want farmers farming. Have you considered paying for your own 40 acres and building in the middle of it?

Thank you, more recent, but unless I missed a lot there is nothing in there about Eustis, noise, smells, or guards.

Summerfield might be arguably "close" to the Villages but it doesn't appear to be in anyone's back yard or anywhere near the town of Lady Lake.

What a bunch of nonsense. You can hardly equate marijuana with crystal meth! Marijuana is approved in Florida for medical use and it can be beneficial for a variety of health problems. Sooner or later it will also be approved for recreational use, not only in Florida but at the Federal level too. Then the police can focus on real crime and the case load in the Criminal Justice System & overcrowding of prisons will be eased as well. Not only that, but legal marijuana will greatly disrupt the drug cartels while allowing struggling farmers here to realize a new cash crop. FYI: Alcohol is probably the most dangerous & destructive drug there is. Alcohol is a major factor in vehicle fatalities, homicides, divorces, domestic abuse, suicides, assaults, child neglect, depression, financial ruin, premature death, and the list goes on. As for marijuana, just relax, no one is going to force you to smoke it.

If it’s a growing facility, then there are greenhouses, maybe not as fancy as Village Grown, but similar. Yes there will be lights in a greenhouse, but a soft glow.

Not sure what smells you speak of, from the growing area, but I assure you Tobacco curing barn has a defined odor within 17 days of hanging leaves. Spent every summer either at the Tobacco or dairy farm. Can’t be much different than that.

Traffic, product is worth multiple six figures, so guards, yes..traffic no. Property needs to be secured area, it’s not like they do tours.

Potheads are druggies.smoking weed since I was a teenager ,still doing it at 86 , ( non medical ) no medications , still in gym at least 5 days a week , rarely miss a day of walking 4 or 5 miles and ride my bike . I just went to the mall in Orlando to celebrate my birthday (86) and gave myself some new clothes at Hugo Boss , Bloomingdale’s and Neiman Marcus that I didn’t even need . Life has been very good for this pot head or druggie , I embrace everyday and night the same a I did as a younger person with as much passion as I can .Maybe more of you could use a little weed in your life. FYI it’s not about the price of the clothes it’s about keeping yourself up , experiencing new things , getting out the house in the daytime and nighttime you only have one life so live it like thats all your getting

Yes they are. Of course, they will claim pot is safer than alcohol, that drinkers cause more problems. And tht my be correct.

But I cn enjoy a drink or two and enjoy the flavor. I wont be drunk.

But potheads arent inhaling the lovely flavor..its not a cigar. They are smoking to get stoned.

They are really pathetic. Those here tht smoke are still living in their disco years. So sad

A ton of legalized pot is sold in Florida. Might as well sell Florida grown pot then pot where another state is getting the tax revenue.

The world didn't end when pot was legalized. I doubt that very many started doing it because it's legal now. Just better to not have the money going to shady enterprises that will do bad things with that money.

The Legalization of Marijuana in Colorado: The Impact - PMC (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6913861/)

Seizures of Colorado marijuana in the U.S. mail system has increased 1,042 percent from an average of 52 parcels (2009–2012) to an average of 594 parcels (2013–2017) during the time recreational marijuana has been legal.

Past month marijuana use for ages 12 and older increased 58 percent and is 78 percent higher than the national average, currently ranked 4th in the nation.
Adult marijuana use increased 94 percent and is 96 percent higher than the national average, currently ranked 4th in the nation.
College age marijuana use increased 18 percent and is 48 percent higher than the national average, currently ranked 6th in the nation.
The yearly number of emergency department visits related to marijuana increased 54 percent after the legalization of recreational marijuana (2013 compared to 2017).
The yearly number of marijuana-related hospitalizations increased 101 percent after the legalization of recreational marijuana (2013 compared to 2017).
Marijuana-only exposures more than quadrupled in the six-year average (2013–2018) since recreational marijuana was legalized compared to the six-year average (2007–2012) prior to legalization.
The percent of suicide incidents in which toxicology results were positive for marijuana has increased from 14 percent in 2013 to 23 percent in 2017.

Marijuana tax revenue represent approximately nine-tenths of one percent of Colorado’s FY 2018 budget.

64 percent of local jurisdictions in Colorado have banned medical and recreational marijuana businesses.

I'm a New Yorker in the 60s and the 70s I did enough drugs to kill a small elephant and I also grew up in a neighborhood where putting an 8 hour shift in a bar was the norm. I no longer do any of it, I'm boring. If we can put up with people falling off their bar stools and crawling back to their golf cart we can live with marijuana. At least there is supposedly medical advantages taking a hit every now and then.

I drink to get drunk. Alcohol doesn't taste good. That's why we mask it with all sorts of flavors. :D

As far as weed, I don't mind if people smoke. I don't love the smell and don't want it around all the time. I smoked when I was a teenager but I never liked it. I just feel paranoid on it. When it became legal in MA I tried it again (at like age 49) and hated it. Couldn't wait for the hi to go away. But damn I like my cocktails.

The only thing I don't like about kids and weed these days is they treat it as a lifestyle, not just an occasional party. They smoke morning, noon, and night. It's worse than my caffeine addiction in college. But other than that as long as it's not in my face I don't really care. I don't feel it's a gateway drug. Actually I only think of it as a gateway drug if it was illegal. That's what leads people down the path of dealing with drug dealers that want them hooked on worse drugs. If they can buy it at a local dispensary they aren't being sold coke at the same time.

Sacrilege!

Ever try Slivovitz? Croatian plum brandy. Also Slovenian and Serbian. Some of the liquor stores around here sell it. Maraska is the best, also the most expensive. (like anything else, you get what you pay for). Sort of an acquired taste. But for as long as I can remember it has been a part of every religious celebration, wedding and funeral since I've been old enough to partake (12, I think).

Ahh but does that not have flavor other than ethanol? I don't know anyone that would argue that pure vodka taste good. Some smoother than others, but ethanol in and of itself does not taste good. When I say we mask it with flavors it's anything from adding flavors to distilling without removing all flavors, to aging in wood.

What makes you think pot smokers don't enjoy the smell and taste of pot as much as you enjoy the the flavor of your alcoholic beverages? I definitely know pot smokers who do.
I enjoy the smell of pot, as second hand smoke and fresh in a baggie. Likewise the smell of bourbon.
Although I once did, I no longer enjoy the effects of either.


The fact is, alcohol and marijuana can be enjoyed safely, or abused dangerously.

Ridiculous! This is medically approved marijuana. It is LEGAL. Soon recreational marijuana will be legal too. I think somebody was watching that old propaganda film "Reefer Madness". You cannot equate methamphetamine with marijuana. And you do know that meth is ILLEGAL and will stay illegal. The real legal killer drug is alcohol; alcohol is very often a factor in homicides, suicides, domestic violence, motor vehicle crashes, disease & early deaths.

I don't see where anyone suggested that.
The point being made is that many people who consider marijuana a dangerous and society-threatening substance, consume alcohol, which is also a dangerous substance.

Much of what people think they understand about marijuana is based on misinformation disseminated over generations. Yes it can be abused, over-used, and used dangerously, as can alcohol. But it can also be enjoyed judiciously and carefully, as can alcohol.

Neither one is going away soon.

Sometime around 1960 or so, Willie Nelson decided alcohol was killing him, but marijuana seemed to agree with him.

Just think, if he hadn't smoked so much pot he might have had a successful music career, made a lot of money, and lived to a ripe old age. But that pot just did him him before his time.

Underage marijuana use and underage alcohol use are BOTH bad.
Abuse of alcohol and pot are BOTH bad.

Both substances can and are enjoyed (used...whatever verb one wishes to use) safely by many. Not every pot smoker is a "pothead" and not every alcohol consumer is a raging, DUI'ing menace to society.

In his case pot helped, cause he didn’t have real job. Why learned writing songs paid better without taking orders and have to somewhere on time.

Is that the topic of discussion when you're out to dinner, over a glass of mind-altering wine/beer/mixed drinks?


Legal drinks. Not to worry any form of narcotics will be legal in near future. Americans crave them only 100 billion illegal business, sooner of later they will change laws.

"I drink to get drunk. Alcohol doesn't taste good. That's why we mask it with all sorts of flavors."

Sacrilege!

Ever try Slivovitz? Croatian plum brandy. Also Slovenian and Serbian. Some of the liquor stores around here sell it. Maraska is the best, also the most expensive. (like anything else, you get what you pay for). Sort of an acquired taste. But for as long as I can remember it has been a part of every religious celebration, wedding and funeral since I've been old enough to partake (12, I think).

Cheap potato vodka will always be top seller.

Ridiculous! This is medically approved marijuana. It is LEGAL. Soon recreational marijuana will be legal too. I think somebody was watching that old propaganda film "Reefer Madness". You cannot equate methamphetamine with marijuana. And you do know that meth is ILLEGAL and will stay illegal. The real legal killer drug is alcohol; alcohol is very often a factor in homicides, suicides, domestic violence, motor vehicle crashes, disease & early deaths.

Meth is cheap why it popular. Fentanyl is drug for bottom crawlers now and you do know craving for any drug sign of weak legal or illegal.

OK, but...not everyone who enjoys pot "craves" it.

I enjoy the occasional glass of wine but I don't "crave" it.
I do "crave" coffee in the morning, though.

do you consider my craving for coffee a sign of weakness?

I quit cigarettes when I was 23. I quit pot around the same time. I have taken long breaks from alcohol, but enjoy an occasional drink, mostly wine. I do not like to drink to excess. And I once quit coffee for 6 months.
Coffee was by far the most difficult thing among those to quit. I had a headache for days.

It's also, in my estimation, probably the least dangerous of those above mentioned vices, so I'm cool with my addiction to it, but it amazed me how miserable it made me when I was trying to quit. Way worse than cigs or the others.

Done good some people can’t quit anything.

I quit smoking when I was 20. Wasn’t that hard for me cause I had moochers that more more out of pack of cigarettes than me. Never done illegal drugs due to responsibilities I had. Never had taste for alcohol. In my job got drug tested regularly (i think called it random) (Random my A—)

Early in my career you got second chance with rehabilitation at end none. Caught once you were out. Never worried about failing, but did wrong about testers contracted to do the test, several failures getting samples mixed up, which at end didn’t matter you had to prove you’re non guilt. It was so bad at end I immediately when to my doctor and got tested so I wouldn’t get screws out of retirement. Never acquired taste for coffee.

"Alcohol is a major factor in vehicle fatalities, homicides, divorces, domestic abuse, suicides, assaults, child neglect, depression, financial ruin, premature death, and the list goes on."

What makes you think marijuana is not involved in traffic accidents ?

And how know they wasn’t on something else also?

Go online and see what the residents in Eustis have had to endure with their new smoke house neighbor.

Keep letting them give away the farms, next we will have meth labs coming in.

County Commission approved it but now can’t help the residents with noise, smells, lights, armed guards and traffic.

I’m telling you fellow residents Ya need to pay attention to what’s being sold and developed it’s not all cotton candy and roses.
Really you’re gonna compare medical marijuana to meth labs really

Dollars to donuts or maybe the other way round these days meth labs are already here along with golf cart chop shops.
