Ron DeSantis Staffer Peeved Flordia’s Cannabis Legalization Initiative Has No Home-Grow Provision — Shocked? We’ll Explain
A dispute between a senior staffer for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the CEO of the state’s largest medical marijuana company has intensified over the proposed cannabis legalization initiative, known as Amendment 3, which will be on the November 2024 ballot.
What’s All The Fuss About?
Gov. DeSantis vehemently opposes the legalization amendment, but based on what his staffer thinks, he could dislike the fact it does not include provisions for home-cultivation of cannabis.
Christina Pushaw, a senior management analyst in the governor’s office, took to social media on Tuesday to let off some collective steam about the amendment that one would assume she, nor her boss DeSantis, would be voting for. “Amendment 3 would create a monopoly on recreational [cannabis]” and “doesn’t allow home growing,” she lamented.
She questioned why Florida’s legalization amendment omits home cultivation when other states that have legalized recreational marijuana include it. “It’s not about ‘freedom,’ it’s corporate greed,” she went on.
