@ Proud Rural Redneck = There is an Internet cafe down the road from me. Been there for a while now. They shut it down last year, it even made the News. just 4 Days latter, it was back open running strong…… still is.
It seems to me the Gadsden County Sheriff doesn’t want to enforce marijuanna law just like he doesn’t enforce the law against illegal Internet cafes.
Increase homelessness, vote Yes on 3. Increase hopelessness, vote Yes on 4.
Edward, and its already illegal for kids driving around drunk and on their phones. Banning doesnt work. It just creates worse crime. Focus on actual harm and throw the book at those people. Leave responsible people alone. I choose freedom over security.
I would like to start seeing who is planning to run for our next Governor. It is just 2 Years away and I am surprised I have yet to see anything on that.
YES on 3 and 4. Mind your own business and allow the US to be a free country.
NO on Amendment 3 and 4. Period. Stop trying to turn Florida into Colorado, Oregon, and California. And stop killing innocent babies. What’s wrong with you people?!
It’s funny how all the Commercials with the Sheriff’s and Police Chiefs telling us how arresting the users is a waste of time and shouldn’t happen and yet, THEY have the power to tell their Officers NOT to arrest them and just destroy the Drugs.
Yes, to decriminalization and medical.
No, to full-blown recreational legalization.
We already have a city inundated with clueless and drunk college kids driving around with their eyes on their phones and banging into everything… hit and runs are commonplace. Morgan knows he’ll bank on the increase in personal injury accidents. That’s why he backs the measure. Morgan and Morgan… For the Morgans
Im torn on Amend 3. Weed should definitely be decriminalized, but this amendment both goes too far and not far enough. Its limited to just weed, when a general right to smoke or grow what you want in private should be in the constitution, with the leg regulating the details. And it goes too far in constitutionally limiting possession to small amounts. In the end this probably wont change much. It should be treated like alcohol, legal to make or use as you want, illegal to endanger others, and throw the book at offenders.
