Ok way to go with the 1960 propaganda...nice touch now back to reality when was the last time you ever saw a news story about an entire family being wiped out in a car accident because he.....just smoked a joint.....Ah never ...now try it with booze ......genius. get real

Got that right!;

Got that right

Vote Yea.

Anyone who wants to get it can do so, via medical card or black market. Enforcement is low to nonexistent. Legalizing it will help to ensure (as far as that goes) purity. At least you will know what you are getting.

Hopefully, FL will learn from failures in other states. Taxing it is fine, but you have to keep it cheaper than the black market or users will go there instead.

A no-brainer.

Pot is available to anyone who wants it. Has been for decades. Given that, there is no reason NOT to legalize it--which means regulating it, controlling quality, and of course taxing it.

Any sin tax--which this would be--is a potential cash cow, just like liquor and tobacco.

You theory flawed, first you have find scrupulous doctor that will go against ethic’s to just give prescription for controlled substances. But, I could see some doctors getting kick backs just like pushing some pills. :thumbup:

I don't smoke it, but I say yay.

This what’s wrong with government think taxing something makes it good idea. But, when money involved expect anything can go

Mo- Get the facts before you comment. These docs are licensed by the state to prescribe it...nothing unethical at all.

You don't get a prescription for Marijuana, you get a state license. The "approved" doctor certifies that you have a condition that allows the license. The problem is that everyone who goes to an "approved" doctor is also certified by the doctor for the license. No one is denied the license. So, effectively, there is no screening process. It is just a money grab for the doctor and the state.

Note that it costs about $300 per year to maintain a Marijuana license, not including the cost to buy the drug.

No, I’ll comment anytime I feel like it.

Today''s MJ is said to be a hundred times more potent than the weed our generation used as teens. As far as I am concerned, I have seen enough young folks with a lack of motivation and lack of willingness to work. I doubt if I could tell the difference if old folks smoked it or not. But, have fun enforcing DUIs due to pot influence. Sounds to me that the gov. wants more stuff to tax and folks want more medications to dull their "hard" life. Just keep that stuff away from me because I get sick when I smell the stuff burning.

You realize marijuana isn’t a controlled substance, right? But those are actually legal and any doctor can prescribe them. It’s why people die from overdosing. Never once has anyone died from overdosing on pot.

Making recreational Marijuana legal will bring in millions of tax dollars. Some of this money could be used for mental health help for the many that need it. It could also be used on homeless seeking affordable housing and education could benefit . Other State and local taxes could be reduced. Wife and I will vote yes.

Marijuana doesn’t necessarily have to be smoked.
