Medical marijuana is already legal in Florida and seems to obtain approval is a low threshold and really just about the money for doctor fees.

For those who say it's a gateway drug well alcohol or any mind altering medication can also be a gateway drug.

Yea or Nay on Amendment 3 for marijuana legalization?

I vote NAY. ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY. Why can't we grow one plant for ourselves? No. Until that part changes.

You know what isn’t addictive? Marijuana. The plant that’s grown from the ground untouched. I wish people would do research. Of course I support this and most everyone will. It’s a no brainer. You never see the headline…” Driver under the influence of weed killed……” Let’s not start on prescription medications like opioids. Not to mention the people who use both alcohol AND medications like opioids.

When I had my hips replaced I used cannabis after the first week. No way I'm taking those pills. I got some Reggie and it worked fine.

Here is what happened in Nevada...
1. The selling point for voters was that the money would go to education, but when the state found out how much money they could make, they decided to use a bucket system. One bucket is money used for education. Once that bucket overflows, the rest of the money goes to other state pet projects. So....just as teachers expected...no extra money was used for education.

2. You can smell weed in NV all day long. If you are on the expressway at 5 A.M., you will smell weed. Impaired drivers are never a good thing.

3. Kids were taking their parents' weed and smoking in school. You could smell weed all day long. It was so prevalent that the administration stopped trying to catch the kids bringing in the drugs. Kids that were caught just received a slap on the wrist.

I'm not against people using weed, but I hate the smell and don't want to smell that odor all day long in The Villages. If you don't believe that people will be driving high, you are fooling yourself. I do smell weed occasionally in the Villages, but if it were legal, many people would be smoking it, and some of those people will be driving high, creating an unsafe environment for us all.

I really don't care if people want to take cannabis edibles or vape in their own home. The smoking it is another matter. It stinks, it makes me nauseous, it makes your hair and clothing stink if you're in any kind of proximity to it.
You know people will smoke in their backyard, cause they have the "right to", making everyone else's backyard unusable.
Hopefully TV will have strict rules against Cannabis smoking even if made legal.

Nay

Nay! Society needs to reduce the amount of mind altering drugs, not add to them. Enough crazies in the world already.

I’ve seen so much incorrect data by people saying they will vote no.

You should start attending the villages medical marijuana club meetings and learn how much it can help you. There are hundreds of villagers using it to solve a multitude of problems naturally without prescription pills.

This isn't about medical. The vote is about recreational.

When I worked in NYC before Covid it was everywhere. Openly smoked it. Police did nothing.

We have someone in our neighborhood that "wakes and bakes" most every morning. Going to assume it's medicinal, but it still stinks.

There's a reason it's called dope. (It causes users to act dopey). Lol

No, Mexican cartels thanks all the pot heads that can’t get through day without being high.

Also, the cartel’s moved in, to grow their own weed to sell for much less than what the dispensary’s are selling it for.

Someone is getting rich from the tax base of legalized weed and benefiting, but I can assure you, it’s not the citizens who were handed the same bag of veiled promises…VOTE NO!!!

Agree. I heard/saw the same thing from friends that lived in Denver and experienced myself when I would go into downtown Denver.

Yes, most will buy pot, use it a home and responsibly, but like alcohol, 10% will abuse it, drive high, and create problems for everyone else and more work for law enforcement. And the revenue gained will be offset by the cost of the pain caused.

Nope. If you want recreational pot, plenty of states that have it. Move there.

And sir, thank you for your service.
