DO NOT FAIL TO GET THIS ON THE BALLOT BY A JUST FEW PERCENT! "Well-positioned to reach the 891,523 signature mandate by the end of this month", or not, make sure all of your friends are registered voters AND have signed the initiative! Don't be lazy about this! It would really suck to get 98% of the signatures and have it not make it on the ballot! Florida Marijuana Activists Close In On Signature Requirement To Put Legalization On 2024 Ballot https://www.marijuanamoment.net/flo...quirement-to-put-legalization-on-2024-ballot/ Florida marijuana advocates have collected 841,130 signatures for a marijuana legalization ballot initiative as of the end of April—about 94 percent of what’s required to put the issue before voters next year. Based on monthly signature data reported by the Florida Division of Elections, which updates petition counts on the measure at the end of each month, it seems that the legalization campaign is well positioned to reach the 891,523 signature mandate by the end of this month.

Perhaps the Florida (and other) politicians need to be reminded that the concept of legal cannabis is a LOT more popular than they are! “Fewer than one-in-ten (8%) say marijuana should not be legal for use by adults.” (Americans overwhelmingly say marijuana should be legal for recreational or medical use – 16 April 2021) How long do they think that they will stay in power by catering to dwindling 8% of the population? I know it's higher in Florida, but on the other hand, senior citizens are the fastest growing group of new/returning cannabis users.
Even as we see some progress in places, there still seems to be a disconnect with these positive polls and what officially happens.
I wonder what the polls said when Anslinger made it into a narcotic, or when Nixon started the DEA. It is now that same kind of world, where cannabis is not looked on with favor by a certain segment of the population (you all know which segment that is, but i dare not say or some people might take offense).
