I have this same stance, however, I just wonder what it will cost this state politically across the board.

I enjoy the way Florida is at the moment. Duval county recently flipping blue didn't surprise me though.

As our city has become less of a transient location and more of a transplant location for out of state movers during the pandemic.

The growth here is impressive but also a tad bit concerning, as, per usual, growth naturally brings on the challenges of growing pains.

I don't care if you smoke it. Grown up around it my whole life. Partake in it from time to time. So, I won't be a hypocrite in that regard.

Just not sure I am a fan of it being easily accessible for recreational use, especially with our state already deemed a prime location as a tourist spot and party hub.

Medically? I'll always support it. Especially for those in chronic pain or nearing the end of their existence. Would rather be stoned out of my mind with Rick Simpson Oil instead of doped out of mine with a strong opiod.

Yep. That's my concern right there. It is feeling purple at the moment. My fear is that we turn into California or New York going into the next decade.

Which would make life here interesting for me raising my son and trying to finish out as a railroader career wise.
