DeSantis Targets ‘One Big Weed Company’ Funding Florida’s Legalization Campaign, Cites ‘Corporate Interest’ As Main Motivation
As Florida prepares for a critical vote on recreational cannabis legalization this November, Governor Ron DeSantis is intensifying his campaign against Amendment 3, this time challenging cannabis giant Trulieve (OTC:TCNNF) (CSE:TRUL). In an effort to counter what the polls show as a majority of support for recreational cannabis, the governor is presenting brand new creative arguments.
On Tuesday night, the Anti-Amendment 3 X (formerly Twitter) account shared a video where DeSantis appears to target “one big weed company,” referring to Amendment 3’s main backer, Trulieve, as an alleged corporate monopoly seeking to profit from a captive market. He also accused them of being led by “corporate interests”.
Fighting ‘Corporate Cannabis‘?
The Vote No on 3 X account shared a video of DeSantis stating, “One big weed company that spent 75 to 80 million dollars… writes in there that you have a right to possess and use marijuana, but only if you buy it from them; you can’t grow it in your backyard.”
