Ron DeSantis Says People Will Be 'Toking Up' Near Schools If Cannabis Legalization Is Approved In November
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) took another swipe at the cannabis legalization amendment Floridians will vote on in the November 2024 elections. This time, he went after those whom he believes will smoke pot near K-12 schools.
州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯（R）再次对佛罗里达人将在2024年11月的选举中投票的大麻合法化修正案进行了轻描淡写。这次，他追捕了那些他认为会在K-12学校附近抽烟的人。
"So someone walking by an elementary school just sitting there toking up, that's somehow okay?" DeSantis said on Wednesday to reporters at an event in Miami. "How is that good for the state of Florida?"
“那么有人走过一所小学就坐在那里闲逛，不知何故可以吗？”德桑蒂斯周三在迈阿密的一次活动上对记者说。“这对佛罗里达州有什么好处？”
The proposal, known as Amendment 3, was approved recently by the Florida Supreme Court to advance to the November ballot. The amendment, organized by Smart and Safe Florida, indeed provides lawmakers with the authority to "limit outdoor and public consumption" just as the state does for public consumption of tobacco.
这项名为第3号修正案的提案最近获得佛罗里达州最高法院的批准，将推迟到11月的投票。该修正案由Smart and Safe Florida组织，确实赋予立法者 “限制户外和公共消费” 的权力，就像该州对公众烟草消费所做的那样。
Nevertheless, DeSantis Persisted
尽管如此，德桑蒂斯还是坚持不懈
"This amendment is the broadest amendment yet and I think it's basically going to green light marijuana usage in all these different parts of the state where we don't want that to happen," he said, reported Florida Politics. "That is not good for families, that is not good for the elderly."
据《佛罗里达政治》报道，他说：“该修正案是迄今为止最广泛的修正案，我认为它基本上将批准该州所有我们不希望这种情况发生的不同地区的使用。”“这对家庭不利，对老年人不利。”
And then he went after the cannabis companies that support Amendment 3, all of whom happened to be at the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference just several miles away in Hollywood, Fla. as he spoke.
然后他追捕了支持第3号修正案的大麻公司，在他讲话时，他们都恰好在几英里外的佛罗里达州好莱坞参加本辛加大麻资本会议。
"People aren't putting tens of millions of dollars behind that out of the goodness of their heart," DeSantis said. "They are going to make a lot of money if that amendment passes so you'd be making some companies very, very rich."
德桑蒂斯说：“人们投入数千万美元并不是出于内心的善意。”“如果该修正案获得通过，他们将赚很多钱，所以你会让一些公司变得非常非常富有。”
While he didn't mention them by name, it is no secret that other cannabis companies — in addition to the Trulieve Cannabis Corp (OTCQX:TCNNF) — have also joined in to support the initiative to the tune of at least $15 million, so far. The companies now involved in funding the proposal include Verano Holdings Corp (OTCQX: VRNOF), Curaleaf Holdings Inc (OTCQX: CURLF), AYR Wellness Inc (OTCQX: AYRWF), Cresco Labs Inc. (OTCQX: CRLBF), Green Thumb Industries Inc (OTCQX: GTBIF) and INSA, Inc.
尽管他没有提及他们的名字，但迄今为止，除了Trulieve Cannabis Corp（OTCQX: TCNNF）外，其他大麻公司也加入了对该计划的支持，这已经不是什么秘密了。现在参与资助该提案的公司包括维拉诺控股公司（场外交易代码：VRNOF）、Curaleaf Holdings Inc（场外交易代码：CURLF）、AYR Wellness Inc.（场外交易代码：AYRWF）、Cresco Labs Inc.（场外交易代码：CRLBF）、Green Thumb Industries Inc.（场外交易代码：GTBIF）和INSA, Inc.
