TAMPA - There will be two big amendments on the November ballot, which are expected to bring a lot of voters to the polls in Florida.

The Florida Supreme Court ruled in April to let voters decide on whether to legalize marijuana for recreational use and whether to give access to abortion up to 24 weeks. The current laws for marijuana are only for medicinal use. The current abortion laws just tightened in the state to a six-week ban.

A new FOX News poll released Friday shows both amendments could pass, with 69 percent of people in favor of the amendment for abortion (Amendment 4) and 66 percent of people in favor of legalizing marijuana (Amendment 3).

1. Do we really want people riding rides and attending Disney World that are stoned?

That’s from one of the so-called voters speaking out against recreational cannabis. These voters’ responses sound a bit ‘off’ in an AI sort of way.

[WinstonSmith4740]

6. Typical RW reaction.

First of all, speaking from extensive experience, stoned is the ONLY way to see Disneyland.
Secondly, have these guys ever seen "Fantasia"? Dancing mushrooms, hippos in tutus dancing with alligators, centaurs, broomsticks coming to life...I could go on, but you guys understand. Those original animators were on SOMETHING!!

13. I'll bet a good % of the trump boomers are on a steady diet of....

.....opiods and whatever else their doctor acquaintance is dishing out to them. That's some truth.

[rubbersole]

17. Or Jim Beam, Icehouse and meth.

[wolfie001]

31. I'll take the combo

[radical noodle]

26. Most boomers I know

even Magat ones... think marijuana should be legal here. And by the time you reach your 70s and 80s, you often find yourself with prescriptions for pain meds for one ailment or another from your own legit doc. Bad knees, bad hips, and bad backs tend to soften one's opinions.

[wolfie001]

32. 65 in less than 9 months

Fingers crossed. Just for the medical. So far I'm fine with coffee and tea.

[radical noodle]

33. Good for you!

Of course, you're just a kid! Hope it continues at least until you're 100... at least!

[wolfie001]

34. If I make 80, I'll be shocked

Cheers

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

42. I wanna be high on IASWAA

I dare not mention the name because of Disney Earworm Syndrome. "DES is real, won't you please contribute?" whilst characters from the musicals cavort behind the actress would be the funnest PSA, wouldn't it?

The best time to go on it is in July to recover from the heat. Speaking of which...

I betcha heat may be closing Florida attractions for the summer by 2030.

[Iris]

7. Haha! Like that's not happening already?

[nankerphelge]

10. There are stoned people...

on Disney rides right now. I'll take them over the drunk folks 100% of the time.

[Emile]

14. They really think keeping it illegal no one would use it.

Idiots

[Mr. Mustard 2023]

15. The answer to your question is...

...yes I do.

[Ace Rothstein]

21. I just did that in March of last year.

Being at Disney while high is kind of fun.

[DBoon]

22. That's the best way to experience Disnay!

[JoseBalow]

35. The best time I ever had at Disney

was while tripping balls on blotter acid. I highly recommend it!

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

43. What did you think of the wandering characters?

You'd think a park sized Goofy would be bad on acid, but the under the sea ride subs might be soothing.

[JoseBalow]

47. I was convinced that all costume characters were tripping too LOL!

The best part was It's a Small World, I rode it like 10 times in a row. I would get off at the end and then just walk right up to the front of the line and get right back on, like I owned the place. And they would just wave me on every time, like they knew and were trying to help

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

48. Wow. Two hours of It's A Small World After All while tripping

I envy your experience

[Layzeebeaver]

36. It's the best way to enjoy WDW

Peter pans flight while stoned is amazing! Ok that was back in 1980, but still…

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

2. more: How will DeSantis react? Passage of these measures would be HUGE loss for him.

he's gonna go crazy trying to block the vote in November.

[Hope22]

4. No worries he and his R legislators will re write the verbiage of the issue.

This is what is happening in Ohio. Last November The people voted overwhelmingly for women’s reproductive rights as a Constitutional change and for legalization of pot. They have spent eight months rewriting what the issues the people voted on really state. Vote we say….and then we watch as they disregard the will of the people. Proud products of gerrymandering. Additionally they launched a fight to keep Biden off of the2024 ballot. There is no democracy in Ohio. Coming to many red states this fall!

[onethatcares]

8. hammer......hit nail

this is the land of the free unless you run afoul of what the Rs want.

[Hope22]

11. True, sad...gut burning words. n/t

[Voltaire2]

12. They will stall and sabotage the required legislation.

The tactics used for pot are well known: put huge regulatory hurdles on production and retail operations that require years and buckets of cash to meet. Add egregious levels of taxes. Make sure only Big Pot can meet the requirements. Collect ‘donations’ from Big Pot. Wonder why the informal market continues to thrive.

Similarly, the Fucked States have years of experience making abortion expensive and intrusive and difficult to obtain. They got this covered.

3. Which spells bad news for TSF.

Which delights me.

[TheRickles]

5. These polls (and referenda) won't matter if R's still control the State House.

I wonder if there are any polls showing whether it's in danger of tipping to D.

[RandomNumbers]

18. They DO matter, in driving turnout at least.

It's depressing that even when these referenda pass, the R's controlling the state house won't implement them in any meaningful way.

BUT - even if FL is unwinnable for Biden, the specter of a huge D turnout could pull more R resources there than otherwise would be spent. Thus leaving less R money for the real swing states.

[sop]

9. I think both measures will be approved and it will also bring out a lot of normally uninvolved voters in Florida.

Predictably, DeSantis and his henchmen in the State legislature will then do everything in their power to sabotage the will of the people in Florida. DeSantis will just issue another one of his RW Christian Florida Fatwas.

Republicans won't be able to do anything about increased voter turnout in November, however. Hopefully, the abortion and marijuana amendments will bring out enough Democrats to the polls to make a difference in other races.

[lark]

19. I am worried about this as well.

Last big election, they - hate filled R's - left Duval County alone. We had no issues at the polls, either early voting ourselves, or when our daughter volted on election days. This time, with abortion on the ballot and Jax already installing a Dem mayor, think death sentence could do a lot more active with assigning rw shills to disrupt our votes. I'm hoping he will ignore us (to his own peril) and Jax will def go blue for the general. I don't know that this will offset all the asshole magats that have moved to this state in the last 8 years, but it certainly gives us at least a chance to flip FL blue.

[HAB911]

16. Question is.......

How will the DeSatan legislature devise roadblocks to effectively stop both? They are quite inventive.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Democrats deliver more fundamental freedoms. . . . nt

[onecaliberal]

23. And immediately after the court or little white boots will deny the people what they voted for.

They don’t care about our votes. They’re now saying out loud that women should not be voting.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

30. ..and hopefully people will begin to understand they need to return the statehouse to Dems for democracy sake

[Warpy]

24. Good, Baby Batista needs a reality check

and those will be two things to wake him the fuck up and tell him he's not a king or a Pope and he needs to disabuse himself of the fantasy that he's both.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

46. both those winning would be too big a loss for him, a loss on level that Virgina's Youngkin had last election

DeSantis would lose a lot of stature. He's huddled with his team now, trying to figure out new laws to sign to suppress voting.

[Warpy]

49. Maybe he'd stop issuing so many royal proclamations

or maybe they'd increase. He will be fun to watch.

[ms liberty]

25. I grew up and lived in Tampa from the early 60's until the mid 80's

I fully expect the marijuana amendment to pass easily. I think the abortion amendment will pass as well, but I'm not sure by how much.

[Bucky]

27. All the kids today wanna do is get high and do abortions

[CaptainTruth]

28. 60% required to pass.

Fingers crossed!!!

[Silent Type]

29. Those are solid numbers. Close to 70% is huge. 55% or so, wouldn't have meant much.

[Demnation]

37. Infestation of Ron Dipshitsrus is losing his grip on the Floridian human populous.

[TlalocW]

38. I think a recent poll put Biden within 4 of Trump

Which was within the MOE. A lot of conservatives laughed when Biden opened a campaign office in Florida, but it made sense. If Joe gets Florida, it's over for Trump. He might be thinking he can ride these issues - especially abortion - to a win. Plus, the Biden camp is flush with money right now, and Trump's isn't. Even if he can't win, he can still get Trump to spend money there meaning less money on hand for swing states.

39. So, if a woman has an abortion while high on weed, I'm sure Ron De-Sans-dick

will find some loophole (real or made-up) to put her in jail.

[Skittles]

40. uh oh

looks like repukes are gonna need to suppress the vote

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

41. yep

[Silent3]

44. I'm so glad this issues are on the November ballot

Maybe that's even enough help to put Florida back into play for Biden.

[SunSeeker]

45. Wow, 69 and 63%! That is not even close. Good!
