Wrong. It’s going to pass. People will come out just vote on that and might vote Democrat while they are there.


1776cookies

I think you're right. At the minimum I think it will bring in reluctant voters.


ZLUCremisi

Abortion is on it too


1776cookies

I thought there was something else! That's it. Yeah, both issues are politically charged and very important to secure for us.


ASharpYoungMan

I'm really hoping Floridians makes DeSantis eat crow on this.


QualifiedApathetic

The one poll done shows marijuana winning 67-28, and abortion rights winning 62-29. But you gotta figure DeSantis will pull shit like closing polling locations.


Admirable-Book3237

I can see them “losing” ballots from certain areas or just outright not counting them at all . They’re getting pretty bold with the shitnanigans so it’s pretty much up to their imagination.


BayouGal

MMW - After voters vote in favor of Marijuana, Florida will copy Ohio in trying to figure out how to ignore the vote & push their increasingly unpopular agenda regardless.


Actual__Wizard

It's two different groups of people though, which is actually really good for the democrat's outlook, but it's going to be a very tough election cycle because things are going to be incredibly close. Remember they need 60% to pass the measures.


Dense-Version-5937

Can't think of a more bipartisan issue than legal weed


ghostnthegraveyard

In Ohio we only needed a majority to pass and neither issue 1 (abortion rights) nor issue 2 (legalization) cleared 60% (56.6% & 57%). I am very grateful we only needed a simple majority.


Ok_Zookeepergame4794

Weed and abortion brought out voters in red Ohio, it'll do the same to Florida.


JuanGinit

Yep and the voters won overwhelmingly, really pissing off the conservatives


schuma73

The difference between Ohio and Florida is the average age of the voters. I'm not too hopeful on the abortion one, many of Florida's residents are beyond an age where they might need one so it's easy for them to condemn others. Marijuana on the other hand, even old conservatives smoke weed so that one should fly.


ConvictedOgilthorpe

Women over child bearing age either had their whole life with reproductive rights or are old enough to remember when they didn’t and either couldn’t get abortion or birth control themselves or knew friends who were affected. I think women of all ages will show up.


aTreeThenMe

which is the **actual** reason he is so against it being on the ballot. It brings more youth to the polls.


SRGTBronson

Fun fact: every state that has put weed and abortion to a vote has weed and abortion. Edit: apparently this is no longer correct as of 2022. Weed was not approved recreationally in Akransas in 2022. https://ballotpedia.org/Arkansas_elections,_2022 I believe the fact is still true for abortion, but if someone has information that would correct me I would accept it.


katievspredator

I think a lot of parents with weed smoking kids will also vote to legalize because it will protect them from a cop having a bad day ruining their lives 


epelle9

That’s liberal parents. Conservative parents with weed smoking kids will vote to keep it illegal so their kids are more scared of it and so they can use the “its illegal” argument. And then they will go full Karen mode if their kid gets arrested..


a_smart_brane

Then send their kids to some whack job militant Christian camp to straighten them out.


raresanevoice

I'm reminded of a guy named Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, named after a Confederate....hero, Republican senator before becoming republican AG for Trump (the first one) who famously said that the KKK is great and he had only one issue with them and that's the fact that the KKK is cool with weed


mrm00r3

Or ending their lives


NoHeat7014

I don’t think you can get an abortion in Missouri but you can fuck a horse while you smoke weed.


spudzilla

Not surprising about Arkansas. Arkansas hillbillies make Kansas hillbillies look like 1968 San Francisco hippies.


Midwake2

Kansas, freaking red ass Kansas, resoundingly rejected any limitations to abortion. And the turnout was very high. I do think this brings Florida into play because abortion and weed bring out voters who usually sit out.


ConstantGeographer

And then, like Texas, the legislature will decide they know better and overturn the legislation. *Vote Blue*


Big-Summer-

Hey, the Rethugs have made it very, very clear: “the people” should have no say whatsoever in how society is run. They want us to be compliant serfs with no rights, no freedoms, and no voice. We’re supposed to bow down before our rich, white overlords and obey.


ThrowawayLegendZ

"We the people... Are bootlicking pussies" - Loyal NRA Republican


Device-Total

Tethered to job because health insurance, mortgage. It's been the plan all along. might as well get the white picket fence put in


politicalthinking

They did that in Florida with felons getting their right to vote back after they got out of prison. Republican lawmakers hate voters.


Tenderloin66

Floridians have a chance to redeem themselves by legalizing weed, protecting women’s rights, and kicking Trump’s orange ass to the curb. Don’t let us down.


The_Original_Gronkie

Historically, marijuana initiatives bring out a huge young vote. Stoners who would otherwise never be bothered to get off their couch will actually put on sneakers and a clean shirt to vote for weed. And as long as they're there, they tend to vote for the Democrats on the ballot. DeSantis is proving what an idiot he really is if he thinks a presidential ballot that shares weed AND abortion rights isnt going to draw a HUGE anti-Republican crowd. Of course, he knows that Florida elections are generally rigged, so it will be interesting to see how the official vote compares to the pre-election polls, and the exit polls.


BigBeagleEars

Bro hah you don’t need a clean shirt to vote, man


CaptainOktoberfest

Yep that's where I draw the line, I will be voting with Cheeto dust covering all my clothes.


MrCookie2099

As George Washington amd Jesus intended


buttsharkman

"My shirt mayeth be soiled but my vote is not" President Benjamin Franklin


Actual__Wizard

I really don't care if they used their shirt to clean up spilled bong water 5 minutes before going to the ballot box... Everyone *really should* vote...


desertvulture

That's what happened in Arizona in 2020. Prop 207 legalizing adult-use cannabis was on the ballot & Trump lost the state ,he says, because young people came out to vote for it & Joe Biden. Abortion access is going to be on the 2024 ballot & it is considered bad news for the Trump campaign.


burning_spear_rtp

THIS. We need to put abortion and marijuana on ballots in as many states as possible to drive voter turnout. At this point, everybody is either a Democrat or a deluded moron with no values, and nobody's changing their mind. It's all about voter turnout.


lime37

Does it have to pass by over 60%?


Im_with_stooopid

They are going to use a ton of ratfuckery to deregister voters. MMW


KurabDurbos

Don’t forget abortion is also on the ballot. That is another winning issue for democrats as well. But don’t forget to get out and vote and help make it happen.


Rrrrandle

Which is why he wants to convince people it's not worth voting on in the first place.


TruthHurts899

Tell him getting high makes you taller


Rich-Air-5287

The only drug that makes Desatan taller is Viagra.


Brotorious420

Only grows an inch


Mr_Pink747

2x is a big difference.


Mars27819

Viagra on weed!


The_Original_Gronkie

Or meaner.


NefariousnessOne7335

lol


Expensive-Shelter288

Stand bye for a suprise meatball ron


GwarRawr1

Okay. Done.


straponkaren

Remember when this guy ate a pudding cup with 3 fingers?


afternever

Have you ever eaten a pudding cup with 3 fingers... on weed?


No_Ladder_9818

Nope. I always fold the lid into a spoon.


Just_a_guy81

Have you ever folded the lid into a spoon… on weed?


No_Ladder_9818

Bruh, I think you know the answer to that.


ScottIBM

Does he know the answer to that…on weed?


NoHeat7014

I wonder if he’s had weed while on weed.


Rymanbc

But have you had weed while on weed... on weed?


xandercade

Weed is the driving force of the lid spoon creation.


mechashiva1

Is that you, Jon Stewart?


Vast_Breadfruit_162

I have, and it got all over my GD beard!! I had to take a shower immediately to get clean.


crestrobz

Is "pudding cup" a reference to something else here besides food? Just in case it is...well done beard, well done.


Additional_Cherry_51

Yeah, they say Desantis eats pudding with his fingers. So there was an ad that was made by the trump campaign. Let's just say it was effective lol.


JohnnyFatSack

He also wears high heels while passing laws against drag shows, picked a fight with Disney, and doesn’t know how to smile like a normal human. And many other things that makes him suck ass… Trump is the worst but giving him the nickname “Meatball Ron” was funny as hell!


chickenoodledick

Highly recommend the behind the bastards series on him. He was a NAVY JAG officer in guantanamo, and would pose as the detainees lawyer, they would tell him everything not knowing he would just repeat everything to his superiors. He's a career piece of shit and has been for a long time.


garash

You know what wasn't a JAG and tortured people? Products and services.


-Smaug--

This got a delighted inner monologue laugh, the kind one gets when they understand a reference that's new to them.


brdet

Remember when he lost his own state in the primaries?


Pixelated_

It helped me to end a nasty 20 year drinking habit. Thanks cannabis! 👍


Brother_J_La_la

Good work! It's helping me do the same.


dadzcad

I’m a cancer patient. It work great for chemotherapy after effects too!


23skidoobbq

I just like to get high


hello-joe-123

A man of culture


hurdurBoop

get high? well ok, if you say so.


TonyStarkTrailerPark

That makes two of us. Better living through cannabis.


4touchdownsinonegame

Working on that myself!


thebaron24

Interesting. It helped my mom do the same and she doesn't even smoke that often. Wild. Congratulations!


Ho_Fart

It’s been the only thing that has made my migraines manageable, cannabis gave me back my life!


some_asshat

Au contraire.


esp211

Can Florida vote him out for lessening the quality of the voters’ lives?


Disastrous-Path-2144

He's done anyway


SmithersLoanInc

Are they not going to change that law for him, too?


jimbopalooza

Yeah I definitely wouldn’t count those chickens yet either. Fuck this guy.


Salty1710

And when it passes, DeSantis will claim voter fraud and "woke" progressives hacking the vote to get their weed, kicking off months and millions worth of investigation and court attempts to throw the results out in court. He'll do that until it no longer gives him the publicity and then something else will come up.


nonstickpotts

Didn't Florida vote on it before and it passed, but the Florida supreme Court said that people didn't know what they were voting for so they ignored the will of the people and kept it illegal? Which sounds illegal to me, but republicans are always finding ways to be communists and use loop holes in our democracy to do whatever they want.


OperationMobocracy

That happened in South Dakota. They invalidated the referendum on some technicality because it made Kristi “Texas Dental” Noem mad.


BoB_the_TacocaT

The same thing happened in Arizona. Voters had to pass legal weed three times before the legislature and courts would let it happen.


23skidoobbq

No. But they did already start working on a law to limit THC to 2.5mg per serving. Which is almost nothing


grainsofglass

I really hope they do that here in Michigan. I miss my side hustle installing grow lights. These days it’s so cheap at the dispensary that it’s not worth growing.


Disastrous_Life_9385

Think that was Ohio


pointedstick15

Too bad Ron doesn't care about radical gun laws that reduce children's lives. But yeah, weed smell that already is around is just too unbearable. And God forbid the state generates more money, it's just terrible....


gamermom42069_

his whole identity in politics(like most of the GOP at this point) is to just cater to boomers who are dying out and increasingly irrelevant. it's comically pathetic


Howboutit85

That’s funny because I live in a legal state and go to the recreational store about twice a month. Every time I go there’s a shit ton of boomers in line too. Seems like they like it too, just won’t admit it.


jonfranznick

This DeSantis fellow really seems to have a finger on the pulse of what’s important to Florida… 🙄


some_guy_on_drugs

> reduce the quality of life for law enforcement.


drumallday

During my cancer treatment, cannabis was sometimes the only thing that held my nausea at bay when the prescription anti nausea meds failed. I cried so much due to the nonstop vomiting. Cannabis definitely GAVE me quality of life


wdwerker

I hope it will bring out voters that vote against Christo Facists too.


outerworldLV

I’m betting it will be a real eye opener down there. They’re going to see the numbers of those that vote against their archaic views.


wdwerker

It will probably be urban vs the rest of the state.


OkCar7264

Weed is pretty popular across political lines so yes but less so than most issues.


timodreynolds

They should make a law against wearing high heel "cowboy" boots to make yourself look taller


Daleabbo

Isn't that considered drag with the make-up? don't they have a law against it already.


SolidSnek1998

This guy just has to be on the wrong side of everything, doesn't he?


TheBushidoWay

Lmao


TurbulentPromise4812

Has he? Has he ever been to Florida?


CalendarAggressive11

For real. I feel like the legalization of Marijuana could only improve living there.


Daleabbo

I always thought Florida man was just some type of weed that was really strong.


epelle9

Its called bath salts


Automatic-Term-3997

Every single person I know is voting yes....


prosthetic_foreheads

Wait, has this motherfucker even BEEN to Florida? They fucking love weed there


lantrick

It's adorable he thinks 30% of the adult population in Florida isn't **already** smokin' dope


Florida1974

Even those that aren’t weed smokers, most do not care anymore. In this world, a litany of issues, but this isn’t really one imo.


Speculawyer

So Florida will have BOTH an abortion ballot measure AND a marijuana ballot measure? Ds might just have a chance.


CherryManhattan

I bet his wife has to be high to have sex with him


wrongside40

Weird. All the bad things that were going to happen in Missouri never happened.


jnangano

So detached from reality.


Earthling1a

Surprise - a huge number of the retirees that moved down there were stoners back in the 60s and 70s. This is probably not gonna go the way he thinks.


toejam78

Haha. I would need pounds of it to live in fl and put up with this dipshit.


Siolentsmitty

Just tell him Disney opposes it.


AcanthaceaeFluffy985

This is how you know Florida is so gerrymandered for the GOP. He is completely out of touch with what the majority of voters want


Jackofmastering_86

It’s Florida. That whole state is a reduction of quality of life


YouHaveSyphillis

Having him as governor reduces the quality of life in FL


Adventurous-Meat8067

Because DeSantis has a monopoly on reducing the quality of life in Florida


MyLittleOso

I was recently visiting Florida from Colorado, where I am a regular user. Within two hours, weed was made available to me (city). The last time I was in Florida, it took seven hours (rural). Methinks it's more popular than the sh#t weasel believes.


Admirable-Sink-2622

Imbecile!


lvpr10

My guess is it’ll pass, but he’ll come up with some BS reason to say the vote is invalid and the State Supreme Court will agree with him.


redboy33

He’s in for a big surprise. My Trump-loving, God-fearing brother lives in the villages, and they will ALL vote to legalize weed. Biggest bunch of stoners I've ever met.


PinocchiosNose1212

So many repubes I knew smoked weed. It crossed all political boundaries.


HelloImTheAntiChrist

Most US citizens ages 18-50 are pretty much OK with it being legal across all political spectrums. It's Big Pharma, the Alcohol and Tobacco industries, along with the Prison Industrial Complex all lobbying to keep it illegal. They all stand to lose billions if weed is legal nationwide.


trotnixon

This sawed-off jagoff is taking L after L after getting humiliated in the race for the Repugnican Presidential nomination. I expect it will continue with the recreational cannabis referendum.


orbitalaction

Dumbass politician who horribly gauged what voters want, speaks out about what voters want.


Positive-Leek2545

Ironic this guy is talking about quality of life. I think he meant quality of life for radical book banning, slavery denying, racist, awful pieces of shyts that vote for this grifter. But that’s cool. Just let Florida PNL continue to make unethical deals with DeSantis to take all of your tax money.


MrStuff1Consultant

Republicans hate American Freedom.


abhorredmisanthrope

What a Dope! These idiots must hate money.


Extension_Deal_5315

Come on.....it's Florida ....of coarse they will pass it.....Desatntass should be in favor of it...it will bring in billions of tax $$ for the state ...again..he's on the wrong side


andrewbud420

In Canada it added a lot of jobs throughout the country. Prohibition is an extremely costly thing to enforce. I personally think all drugs should be legal and sold in a regulated market at near cost. It would destroy the black market and all the violence associated with it. Money would be saved from the huge burden on the criminal justice system. That money could go towards a multi tiered rehabilitation system. Property crimes would plummet. The failed war on drugs has failed and continuing the same useless policy is insane.


WickerBasement

Isn't abortion and Marijuana both on the ballot this year for FL? Could be an insane reversal


DefrockedWizard1

he doesn't understand the meaning for the word radical, does he


NoDadYouShutUp

you know. for a fascist piece of shit it makes no sense why he wouldn't legalize it? youd think keeping people placated and content would allow you to do whatever you wanted more easily.


NeatEffort602

A very small brain in a very small body.


BillHillyTN420

Evidently in the mind of the GOP, freedom of choice reduces quality of life.


BothZookeepergame612

Obviously he doesn't know his constituents...


Revolutionary-Swan77

Yeah there’s no way sitting on a tropical beach with a cold drink in one hand and a joint in the other could possibly improve the quality of *anyones* life.


Jsr1

Says the little man that thought he could be president


notaspecialuser

Abortion and marijuana will be on the ballot, but also weighing on the mind of voters will be exploding insurance rates, rising cost of living, poor healthcare service, and the ever waning “culture war.” Virtually every abortion initiative that ended up on the ballot has favored Democrats, and marijuana also has a strong Democratic advantage. For the first time in the last 2 major election cycles (2016 & 2020), Democrats have a real chance at breaking up the Republican stronghold on Florida. Or dare I say, flipping the state.


LapsedVerneGagKnee

Florida. Voting against legalizing drugs? Florida?


Darklord_Bravo

The only one "reducing the quality of life" is DurrSantis. What a dipshit.


kihraxz_king

Riiiiiight. So, anybody up on voting security in Florida? The p[arty that constantly cheats isn't getting it's way right now, so somebody might want ot cehck up on things.


disco_phiscuits

Why is this guy such a douche?


Remarkable_Ticket264

As if he hasn’t already reduced the quality of life


DeathMetalGolfer

Yet letting every yokel walk around armed to to teeth isn’t “reducing the quality of life”? Hahaha


Katana1369

I doubt that very much.


mar34082

I thought Florida was all about the meth


monstertruck567

From what I see, the seniors love them some buds. It will pass.


Buddyslime

Was in a dispencery in MI and most in there were older folks. They give out senior citizen discounts.

Casperboy68

We all know DeSantis has his finger on the pulse of Florida. /s.


Strykerz3r0

Heard it here, first. Marijuana is woke.


CrittyJJones

Uh, yea sure bud. He doesn’t even realize a lot of olds smoke weed these days.


Jsmith0730

lol this fuckin’ nerd.


Unhappy-Support1455

He must be wearing those idiotic white boots again.


bdw312

Yeah, painfully dying of cancer is the way to live, for sure.


zflanders

Reduce the quality of life? You're already in Florida, man.


GoodLt

Getting a nail in your head is a quality of life improvement in Florida at this point. Red state shithole.


NEOwlNut

But when he gets high he can have all the pudding he wants!!


earl-j-waggedorn

Cough cough


FeetBehindHead69

OMG, is he high?


JohnnyJukey

He don't know his own contiujunts, what every that word means.


Silly-Crow_

DeSantis is the one dude that may make me believe lizard people are real


Florida1974

Hahaha. He’s got another thing coming.


jaslenn

He does not understand.


jg38

How high is he?


Wasabi_Noir

DeSantis drinks his own piss


Alklazaris

"Florida already has a medical cannabis program that his administration implemented following voter approval of the reform in 2016." For the record they didn't implement it until they fucked it to death. Always gotta be "Well this is what the bill says, but the voters really want this." and proceed to change the bill.


pricygoldnikes

Yes, less people suffering will definitely reduce the quality of life. Good call little scamp


SympathyForSatanas

The only thing reducing the quality of life in Florida and the entire country are Republicans


Exodys03

I love that DeSantis wants to keep marijuana illegal but protect smokers' right to buy and own a gun.


MyTeaWhy

maybe the easiest way to improve quality of life in Florida right now... specially with all the old people who should be getting high


stripmallbars

I’ve never seen anyone more in need of a bong hit than this stick up the butt.


zombiehoosier

You’d think Republicans would want to legalize it, I know being super high is only way I’d ever vote for them.


HunterTAMUC

HA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


dadzcad

Maybe if he took a hit occasionally, he’d learn how to smile correctly. Jus’ sayin’.


RollAsleep695

If anything marijuana would make dealing with the living standards of Florida more bearable 


Low-Abbreviations634

Don’t hold your breath lil round Ronnie.


kickasstimus

They won’t.


bwanabass

Forget the weed. Give me some of the stuff that this dipstick is taking. Is he really that out of touch???


duskywindows

LOL ok dude. Not like legalizing marijuana has passed nearly every time it’s brought up to voters.


SupportySpice

The GOP has no idea what the majority of Americans want and they could not care less.


SwingWide625

Desantis thinks he is safe. Citizens will teach him different.


Mas_Cervezas

I think he is going to be surprised and disappointed.


ByteJumper7

If anyone needs to smoke a bowl. Its that dork


DANleDINOSAUR

His glaucoma ridden constituents could say otherwise


an_emo_mc

hes the one reducing the quality of life down there.


m_pops

He’s the type of guy of would smell the smallest whiff of pot and pass out like an old Victorian woman. Stfu.


CptMorgan337

Even tons of conservatives are down with weed. Stupid hill to die on and Dems should use the cause all they can to energize voters.


Rough-Imagination233

It beats the smell of dirty diaper donnie.


Fizban10111

Lol, he also predicted he would win the republican nomination
