Only 60% necessary.
Direct democracy stinks.
Gee, ya think?
The solution is simple. Treat them the same as you would treat those who suffered accidents while drinking alcohol.
The presence of alcohol in sufficient quantities in the blood is enough to prove impairment.
Marijuana, however, wears off. The presence of biometric markers in the blood DO NOT prove impairment.
However, I have faith that the powers that be will be able to invent an objective test that shows marijuana impairment.
My brother, now retired, used to be the executive director for a National Business Association that was very much affected by any drug regulations and laws. He told me that the legalization in Colorado had caused a nightmare for companies that were required to do drug testing and this sort of thing. Particularly companies that work for or sold to the US government and the state government. He said in order to get employees for some jobs they had to get special waivers from insurance companies and federal agencies. Basically it was just a major clusterf**k. Legal liabilities up the ying yang in every way imaginable.
All these potential increased risks should be easy enough to quantify by seeing what has happened in the states that have already legalized pot.
2/3rds of the people in this state don’t want marijuana to be criminalized.
Anyone who believes in individual freedom shouldn’t object to the possession of a plant, as it constitutes no trespass on the rights of any individual, ergo it is not a crime.
Florida is like some other states in that it is far too easy to amend the Constitution. This leads to a lot of changes to the Constitution which are the duty and domain of the legislature. For example they have a constitutional amendment that prohibits smoking in bars and one that prohibits Nets which catch Turtles accidentally. None of which has a damn thing to do with the Constitution. My highly leftist brother-in-law and his commie school teacher wife thought they were great ideas and love the idea of amending the Constitution for everything that tbey want.
As someone else pointed out in this thread direct democracy is a disaster.
Even with legalized pot you still can’t drive under the influence. Or work.
Unless they come up with an accurate test for marijuana “intoxication” car insurance companies will pay out billions in claims that they would avoid if the person responsible was just drunk.
The law of unintended consequences is fixing to rear its ugly head once again.
The ignorant population does not understand the difference between what a constitution is for and what A legislature is for.
You bet! We need to allow government to make all decisions for us! The people are too stupid to be trusted.
In twenty years, tops, the same politicians who want it legalized now will be calling it a public health crisis, all so they can both tax it and send the trial lawyers after it.
Personally I’m a daily cannabis user so I approve of them legalizing it as do 67% of Floridians.
I can’t believe they would make this a constitutional amendment. We need to be turning back the laws, legalizing pot around the country, such a disaster.
I’m putting this on the ballot will draw Democrats, which is going to bury Republicans
the furtherance of making Americans stupid.
watch out, we’ll pull your card on you!
cheech and chong become reality.
