420,000 Signatures To Legalize Recreational Marijuana In Florida

Author Buckwheat
March 3rd 5:13 PM

Florida is pushing hard to get recreational marijuana on the 2024 ballot. Backers of the proposed amendment have submitted more than 420,000 signatures. As “lit” as that number sounds, that’s only about halfway there. The committee would need at least 891,589 signatures to get on the ballot.

The proposed “Adult Personal Use of Marijuana” would allow people 21 years or older to “possess, purchase, or use marijuana products and marijuana accessories for non-medical personal consumption by smoking, ingestion, or otherwise.” Personally, I think recreational marijuana could bring a ton of revenue to the state. It could also bring in a lot of tourists (not like Florida needs many more of those).

Voters approved medical marijuana in 2016. It seems like ever since then dispensaries keep popping up all around Tampa Bay. Starting this year, medical marijuana patients in Florida can pick up their “medicine” at local gas stations. Trulieve, Florida’s largest medical-marijuana operator, has spent $25 million to get the proposal on the ballot. Most of the money went towards petition-related expenses.

To become a medical marijuana patient in Florida you have to fit this criteria:

  • Be 21 years of age or older
  • Prove Florida residency
  • Be diagnosed with a qualifying health condition by a qualified physician
  • Be entered into the Medical Marijuana Use Registry
  • Obtain a Medical Marijuana Use Registry Identification Card

Which Four Florida Cities Made The List For Best Party Cities In U.S.

Planning a bachelor/bachelorette party, birthday getaway, or just need to let go? Well, you’ll have plenty of places to choose from in Florida. Four cities in Florida made the list on a recent study for best party cities in the U.S. I’m sure you can guess that Miami is one of the main ones, and you’re right. South Beach is notorious for their night life.

Betspert.com made a list of the best party cities in the U.S. They looked at many factors including: nightlife attractions, taxi fares, Airbnb rates, and casinos. They also broke down which city ranked the highest for each individual factor in separate studies.

One Florida city that we were surprised didn’t make the list was Orlando. They only ranked #3 in the best cities for nightlife attractions. Tampa was one of the last Florida cities to make the list, which was kind of shocking to us. They seem to have checked all the required factors, maybe the price of going out is what knocked them down the list. We know down in Ybor the nightlife stays ACTIVE for a while.

If you’d like to see the list of all of the studies, click here.

Here are the best party cities in the U.S.

  • St. Louis, Missouri

    While you might expect the likes of Las Vegas or New Orleans to take the top spot, the actual party capital of the US is Saint Louis, Missouri with a party score of 8.45 out of 10.

  • Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

    In second place is Pittsburgh with a party score of 8.27 out of 10. Pittsburgh is known for its contribution to the steel industry, but the real steal is a $1.98 per mile taxi ride back to your Airbnb.

  • St. Petersburg, Florida

    St. Pete had a final score of 6.07. Our high costs of AirBnb’s and taxi fares is what killed our rating.

    Vegas meets all of the factors, but because everything is super expensive there, it made it at the #11 spot.
