Ron DeSantis Blasts Florida’s Cannabis Legalization Ballot At RNC: It Would Allow ’80 Joints’ A Day, Affecting Free Speech And Gun Rights
Governor Ron DeSantis went there at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee on Wednesday: He used his platform to rail against Florida’s upcoming vote to legalize recreational marijuana telling his comrades that if weed is legalized, people will be able to possess practically limitless amounts of the stuff.
“It gives you a limitless constitutional right to possess and smoke. I think it’s up to like, what, 40 joints, is that the three ounces would be 40? More than that, 80 joints. Something like that,” he said.
In fact, he noted that if the cannabis legalization ballot wins, marijuana rights will surpass the constitutional guarantees of the First and Second Amendments concerning free speech and gun ownership, respectively. And that’s a statement he’s already made in the past.
