Gov. Ron DeSantis says he opposes Florida's proposed Amendment Three. It would legalize adult recreational use of marijuana in the state.
DeSantis thinks the amendment is too broad and could negatively impact the quality of life in Florida . But many folks disagree.
Governor DeSantis said he is concerned Florida could become like other places that have legalized recreational use while speaking before Florida delegates this week in Milwaukee. "If we really are looking out for public safety and what is best for the public, legalizing marijuana can help us to do that," Bishop said.
"Right now, there is a huge overdose pandemic epidemic in Escambia County and by legalizing marijuana, you will decrease that significantly by allowing more people to have adult access to recreational marijuana," Bishop said. "Everybody knows somebody who's been affected by losing someone to an overdose and it's just as common as cancer these days," Silins said.
