Makes me think twice about voting yes on recreational weed. MaryMagdaline Jul 2024 #10

It's a problem. I voted yes, and would do so again, but.... LisaM Aug 2024 #42

I'm definitely voting yes but there are downsides MaryMagdaline Aug 2024 #43

Not the dispensary weed in Florida. rubbersole Jul 2024 #23

I have to second you on this. Just got back from the FL dispensary ... Intractable Jul 2024 #26

That's why I'm still not sure how I'll vote in Florida in November. jimfields33 Aug 2024 #54

I'm voting yes because it's still expensive to get a medical prescription. MaryMagdaline Aug 2024 #56

It's a bunch of expensive unnecessary steps... rubbersole Aug 2024 #57
