    They already gutted Florida ballot initiative law so that it needs a minimum of a 60% majority to pass. They’ve openly rigged the marijuana ballot initiative part of the election to ensure it won’t pass. It won’t pass. If they think they still have to go hard on the propaganda to get enough people to vote against this thing maybe it’s time to read the writing on the walls.

    If Trump loses and isn’t around to provide red states the ammunition they need to put and end to marijuana reform, I think the war on marijuana will finally lose enough momentum to start collapsing, if that chain reaction hasn’t already started. They can’t keep this up for much longer. I hope.

      Even needing 60% it’ll pass. Medical Marijuana passed 71-29 in 2016. We’ve had cbd stores and dispensaries on every other corner here in Tampa for the last five years and no one gives a shit. Floridians travel to Nevada, California, Colorado, and other states and see that’s its not a big deal.

      I predict at least 70% vote for it. I’ll be floored if it gets less than 65%.

        If it does pass it’ll be a major win for marijuana reform. Florida has 22 million people living there. That will put a significant increase on the percentage of Americans living in a jurisdiction with fully legal weed.
