Ron DeSantis (R) MEDICAL USE

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has expressed support for medical marijuana in his state, but has repeatedly admitted that he finds marijuana to be dangerous for youth and it's smell "putrid". While he claims to oppose jail time for marijuana convictions, he has made no effort for clemency or pardons and thinks that places that have legalized marijuana will end up regretting it.
