I voted on Sunday. Clicked on every R I saw. Normally I abstain from races where I didn't know the candidates. This time I said fuck it and hit them all

I think it's Amendment six, making school board a partisan election. 10 years ago I would have voted no.

I voted yes on that. No on 3 and 4. I kinda hate the easy amendment process in Florida.
Ditto. I usually leave some blank, not this time.
I don't remember which amendments were which. I voted nonpartisan school board. Without "Democrat", no one will know in Alachua Co, not to mention this county is fucked anyway.
Yes to weed. I hate the easy amendment too, but how could you vote no on weed?
For local, I voted fuck you Gainesville liberals, you shouldn't have control of GRU and our utilities back without oversight of your corruption. But unfortunately that will fail. But seriously, how does DeSantis issue an order to install a committee because GRU gave us a billion in debt and making us pay for it.....how does a City vote revoke a Governor order?

I voted no, because I don't want to smell it everywhere, plus the "no grow your own" bit. However, I won't cry when it passes, I'll just head on down to trulieve and buy more pods.

because they are a bunch of liberal pussies that can't handle being told "no".
Most people are too lazy to grow their own and those who do, will do so anyway.
There are still laws and you can't just smoke weed in public everywhere you go. Most people do it discreetly or will continue to use vape in public. Almost every instance I've ever seen where someone clearly reeked of weed or I could smell it, it was near a Walmart or somewhere I could visibly see it was from trashy black people. The type of people who smoke weed in/near public already do so. Most people have some level of decency or discretion. I really don't think any of that is a real concern or going to magically turn Gainesville into a giant weed crowd.
It would however save me like $500 a year in stupid ass fees/appts to the state and CannaMD. I spend more in that than I do actual weed just so I can get to fucking sleep

When it’s legal everything smells like it, even Ubers. And the stoned drivers, oh. One wouldn’t shut up about his ex.

I am not anti-weed, but when I went to Denver I couldn't escape the smell of it.
I'm not anti-weed anymore, either, but I don't want to smell it everywhere I go and for sure you should be able to legally grow it.
I'm ok with the Pulp Fiction description of the Netherlands as our model for legal weed.

So what you're saying is that government overreach and telling you what's right and wrong is influenced based primarily, not on the Constitution or the federal abuse of 3 letter agencies, but whether or not you can smell it.
This is why I've gone anarchist. Fuck governments telling us what you can and can't do. No hypocrisy, no picking and choosing, either it's government overreach or it's freedom.

Eh, there's restrictions on where and when you can drink and smoke and make noise, too. There's zoning restrictions on where you can open up titty bars and liquor stores or even just warehouses. I think a certain amount of government regulation is necessary to make sure people can live in nice places and don't have to deal with unpleasant people.
I honestly haven't decided how I'm going to vote on 3. I think there could be a more reasonable solution but do we get there without passing 3? That's the problem with popular voting to amend the state constitution - this is something that cries out for a legislative remedy, not a constitutional amendment.

Having to smell it and deal with stoned scumbags is an infringement of my liberty.
And having to sit at an arena or stadium and have a drunk person holding their liquor right beside me when I can smell that booze that's practically right in my face......should I call for booze to be illegal in all public places then because that infringes on my liberty?
Where are we promised liberty from intoxicated assholes or smells?
Fair, but you can buy beer basically everywhere that's not a campus.
I was at a classical concert, mixed with kids and adults of all ages. Half hte adults were plastered, liquor, beer, and wine sold at the arena. The drunk couple beside me, I had to sit there the entire time with their obnoxious talking, comments, and stench of her cheap liquor that was a foot from my face. That smell offended me, as did their behavior?
If anything, you're not making a case against legalizing weed, but for making booze illegal. Moreso because you know all those drunk people had to drive home. And there's the hypocrisy. No one cares about how drunks act, DUIs, or whether or not it bothers someone else.....because almost everyone loves to drink.

If Amendment 3 passes, would that tie the legislature's hands as to what laws they can and cannot pass?
OP
OP
I think part of the thing no one wants to mention with public intoxication and now pot use is that the blm movement reduced police numbers and effectiveness so that this is something they no longer enforce. Because if you think about it who will they mainly being arresting for this?
The language on the ballot says it "allows consistent legislation," but I don't know how that will work in practice.
