"We have already seen the benefit of medical marijuana—creating thousands of jobs and sales that have continued to surge, despite the pandemic. If Florida legalizes the adult use of cannabis, it will grow our economy, promote public health, bring in more dependable revenue for state programs without raising taxes, create more jobs, and provide the opportunity for environment-friendly agricultural practices.

Reforming Florida’s cannabis laws is a giant leap onto the gator’s back—we need to legalize it, regulate it, and tax it— and it will help sustain us and move us forward. When we have that pinned down, we can begin to develop a clean energy economy that will improve job opportunities exponentially, as well as reduce pollution, and build resiliency."
