Phil Stasik and Jodi James discuss Legalizing Recreational Cannabis in Florida
from Coastal Connection with Terri Wright · host WFIT 89.5FM
Marijuana laws at State levels are changing. According to DISA Global Solutions, a leading provider of statistical data, 38 states have legalized medical marijuana, and 32 states have decriminalized marijuana altogether. In 2016, over 70 percent of Florida voters approved medical marijuana via a citizen-driven constitutional amendment. The effort to put a question to voters on the FL ballot to legalize recreational marijuana has collected nearly 1 million petitions, reaching the number of signatures necessary to qualify for the November 2024 ballot. The ballot language is currently under review by the FL Supreme Court. FL Attorney General Ashley Moody urges the Court to reject the proposed amendment allowing recreational use of marijuana by people 21 and older (again). Despite the approval of legalization by so many state governments, the federal government has yet to advance federal legalization of cannabis. More info when you join in on Zoom!
