Why did ammendment 3 and 4 need 60%
|
Both had a majority vote of more than 55% as of me writing this. Its a bit annoying these hoth had to have 60% or more to pass. Why?
As of now I am of the understanding that neither will pass. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!
Glad to see 4 didn't pass..
3 didn't bother me at all. I have my medical card.
I voted yes on 3 but I’m not surprised it didn’t pass lots of my family voted no they don’t want recreational marijuana in our state.
I don’t use it so I’ve got no skin in the game but the libertarian in me wants to decriminalize everything

3 was written by the big marijuana corporations to ensure themselves a monopoly.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.

Similar rules exist at the federal level and other states. It keeps a small majority from being able to change it and also keeps it from adding/removing things all the time.

Similar to the filibuster in congress

I voted against 3 for two reasons. The main one being this would open up the door for people to be smoking it everywhere, not to mention the raft of new laws that would have to be enacted to control that.
The second was a lesson learned from Colorado which had to deal with a myriad of problems resulting from legalization. If someone wants to ingest marijuana, smoking or otherwise, there’s plenty of legal avenues to acquire it.

So it’s all about the medical marijuana.

Trump was for it from what I read, but I think desantis helped defeat 3. I think it’s trending toward legalization in Florida eventually but not this time.

Both were poorly written laws with major loop holes. Whether they were written that way on purpose really doesn't matter at this time. Poorly written amendments should be voted down.

Under that bill could you grow a plant for personal use? Would you be able to apply for permits, grow, harvest and sell your product?

The medical card quack doctors are celebrating big time today. Their cash cow remains. So if you want to partake and not be a criminal you have to go lie to a thieving quack doctor about a non existent illness and then pay the thief. Then pay the state an application fee which is a illegal tax in essence. Complete and total bull [BLEEP].

Mikesez logic: As long as you paid all the fees to open your own business, testing, etc. Sure you could technically grow it for your own personal use.

Every retail business has a business license they pay the state for, and a city or county license for each location that they pay the locality for. Whatever fees or licenses they were going to make specific to recreational pot, would be up to the Legislature. No amendment can save you from having to vote for the right people to uphold it. That is true generally.
