The “putrid” smell of marijuana is among the reasons Gov. Ron DeSantis may remain opposed to legalization in Florida.
DeSantis shied away from offering a definitive answer on the issue Wednesday when asked by press at a campaign event in Tallahassee. He did, however, speak out against the smell of cannabis in public places.
“What I don’t like about it is if you go to some of these places that have done it, the stench when you’re out there, I mean, it smells so putrid,” he told reporters.
The Governor’s remarks come as Democratic gubernatorial contenders vow to legalize marijuana if elected to office. DeSantis, though, characterized those promises as dishonest. Such an effort requires the cooperation of the Legislature, he noted.
Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist and state Sen. Annette Taddeo are vying to oust DeSantis in 2022.
“A Governor can’t just do that,” DeSantis said.
It is unclear exactly where DeSantis visited and found the smell of marijuana so overwhelming. Recreational marijuana is legal in 18 states as well as D.C. and Guam, per U.S. News and World Report.
Many places where marijuana ends up legal, DeSantis said, ended up “regretting it.”
“I could not believe the pungent odor that you would see in some of these places,” the Republican Governor added. “I don’t want to see that here. I want people to be able to breathe freely.”
A 2019 poll by the University of North Florida shows most Floridians support marijuana legalization for adult consumption.
Democrats have filed at least 10 marijuana-related bills in the 2022 Legislative Session. One proposal would outright legalize marijuana (HB 467), while another would decriminalize the drug and other addictive substances.
“I’ve never thought that somebody who was caught using it… we’re not going to use the prison system for that,” DeSantis explained after the remarks. “But that’s different than kind of wanting it to be prevalent like you see in some of these other areas.”
In 2016, Floridians OK’d a constitutional amendment that would guarantee the sick and ill access to medical marijuana.

It is time to vote him out of office. All it comes down to is he has run out of reasons to keep it illegal and now is using the smell to try and keep it illegal. in most places that have legalized grow it indoors or in greenhouses using filters to do away the smell. you don’t smell it unless you are in the place where it is growing or sold. He said places that have legalized it wish they didn’t I have yet to hear of one that wishes they Haden done so. I go to Colorado all the time to smoke legalized weed I don’t really smell it until I go in to buy me some.my self I like the smell of it.

Exactly! – Millions of people love the smell of marijuana. I have found that most people who complain about it are just bigoted against marijuana consumers.
And if they have ever been near a paper mill, a pig farm or a cattle stockyards, etc., they would never complain about the marijuana smell again.

He’s a great Gov. as I agree with him on non legalization and the distasteful smell. I came from a tyrannical, blue state with cannabis avail. It’s destroyed the state. Go move man and take your bong with you, Ernest Lewis Agee. Riddance.

“2nd COVID-19 vaccine shot raises rare heart condition risk for young men.” Why is it ironic? It has absolutely nothing to do with cannabis smoking.
https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/patient-safety-outcomes/2nd-covid-19-vaccine-shot-raises-rare-heart-condition-risk-for-young-men.html
The study found a higher risk for young men, with about 5.8 myocarditis cases per MILLION second doses in men the average age of 25. Yea, I didn’t get it after even a booster. A month later I also had a shingles shot, which nobody cares about. But I also did not win the lottery this week, what are the odds?
You also must have forgotten this part:
COVID-19 patients had 15.7 times the risk for myocarditis compared with patients who didn’t have COVID-19, according to CDC data published Aug. 31.

Tom,
Name calling and stereotyping. It’s all that prohibitionists have left to offer society since virtually every piece of cannabis propaganda out there has been thoroughly debunked, and completely dismissed by a smarter than prohibitionists thought public.
Nobody can provide a real reason to continue the “War on Cannabis” because there isn’t one.
You know, a little live and let live goes a real long way towards ensuring a very long, stress and anger free life.
If somebody doesn’t approve of cannabis, then by all means, that person shouldn’t consume cannabis. Nobody is ever going to force anybody to consume cannabis that doesn’t desire to. Plain and simple. Problem solved.
Let’s allow other hard-working, tax paying adults to make their own choices about cannabis.
The government has no business attempting to legislate morality by creating victim-less cannabis “crimes” because it simply doesn’t work and has already cost the taxpayers a fortune.

It’s not that simple to say it’s live and let live. Someone in public, maxed out in public on cannabis behavior becomes a threat to society. The stink of smells is pugnant. In public or behind closed doors cannabis is a concern. Pot heads have major issues. I grew up in late 60’s snd 70 ‘s, I know what I speak. Nikki Fraud is a disgrace. She continued to earn her cannabis revenue. Not happening pot heads, go grow your plants, stanks. Watch Cheech and Chong for the 1000 time.

@Tom — You say: “Federal law says cannabis is illegal.”
Marijuana prohibition was FRAUDULENTLY enacted in 1937 by soon-to-be-out-of-work alcohol prohibition bureaucrat, Harry Asnlinger. He desperately wanted a new empire and no lie was too big to tell to get it.
Only two doctors testified at the hearings for the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 – the deviously named legislation enacting marijuana prohibition.
The representative of the American Medical Association said there was no evidence that marijuana was a dangerous drug and no reason to prohibit it. He pointed out that it was used in hundreds of common medicines with no significant reports of problems.
In response, the committee told him that if he wasn’t going to cooperate, he should shut up and leave.
The only other doctor to testify was Dr. James C. Munch. His sole claim to fame was that he had injected some extract of cannabis directly into the brains of 300 dogs and two of them died. When they asked him what he concluded from this, he said he didn’t know what to conclude.
Dr. Munch later testified in court, under oath, that marijuana would make your incisors grow six inches long and drip with blood. He also said that, when he tried it, it turned him into a bat.
Dr. Munch was the only doctor in the US who thought marijuana should be illegal so he was appointed US Official Expert on marijuana, where he served for 25 years.

Cannabis consumers deserve and demand equal rights and protections under our laws that are currently afforded to the drinkers of far more dangerous and deadly, yet perfectly legal, widely accepted, endlessly advertised and even glorified as an All-American pastime, alcohol.
Plain and simple!
Legalize Nationwide Federally Now!

Politicians who continue to demonize Cannabis, Corrupt Law Enforcement Officials who prefer to ruin peoples lives over Cannabis possession rather than solve real crimes who fund their departments toys and salaries with monies acquired through cannabis home raids, seizures and forfeitures, and so-called “Addiction Specialists” who make their income off of the judicial misfortunes of our citizens who choose cannabis, – Your actions go against The Will of The People and Your Days In Office Are Numbered!

But, as usual, he is preaching to his devoted radical base; the “reefer madness”……”don’t Fauchi my Florida” , “gateway drug” base of his. Doubling down on the “good old fashioned republican base” whom he believes will worship him like the Caesar he is. I honestly thought he might embrace the fact that America can’t keep this “war on drugs” farce up forever, and pledge decriminalization….at least 65 percent of us want it!

@Dethsantis Caesar
Opposition to legalizing marijuana is not primarily about bigotry, although it’s a big factor.
Polls show 68 – 70 percent of all Americans want to end the monstrously destructive, insane war on marijuana consumers. – 75 percent say leave it up to the states. More than 90 percent approve of medical marijuana. Now, even a majority of Republicans want to end this sick, witch hunt. – So why do we still have it?
Because police and prosecutors build their careers and empires on the fraudulent marijuana prohibition. Because industries like alcohol and pharmaceuticals don’t want the competition. Because other interests like the bogus “treatment” quacks, the drug testing industry and the prison industries depend on it for their life’s blood. Because many banks and shaky corporations couldn’t exist without the laundered money. Because it’s a Republican tool weaponized by Richard Nixon to attack and oppress Blacks and Progressives.
But we’re still winning. 8^)

@Tom – Shame on you for such dishonesty and bigotry.
SAMHSA research has determined more than 100 million Americans have consumed marijuana. About HALF the of-age population.
There are now more than 50 million current U.S. consumers. The vast majority consume moderately – on the weekends or less, and are successful, hard-working, respected members of their communities. They are from all walks of life and loved by the families they support.
Since we now know marijuana is less “addictive” than coffee, is about HALF as intoxicating as alcohol (for a much shorter duration of time), is not a significant cause of auto accidents, does not fuel violence like alcohol, and is far less harmful than alcohol, this is no surprise.
Smart employers prefer their workers consume near harmless marijuana (at home, after work), rather than addictive, very harmful, violence-inducing, traffic-accident-causing, hangover-producing alcohol.
Every person who chooses near harmless marijuana over addictive, very harmful alcohol, improves their health significantly – as well as the lives of their family and community.
Marijuana is as American as apple pie – and healthier.

ALL of those are not only more odiferous than marijuana, they are actually TOXIC, damaging to the health of people who breathe them.
You grossly exaggerate the fragrance of marijuana that millions of people clearly like, especially as compared to the many ways people contaminate the air that nobody ever complains about.
It’s called being a good neighbor. And being a tolerant, cooperative citizen. It seems you’re just looking for an excuse to characterize marijuana as a bad thing because of your prejudice.
Consuming marijuana is FAR less harmful to the consumer, and to society, than is your beer, wine, etc.

I can smoke medically so can a very, very large number of people, I don’t think that makes us degenerate “pot heads.” It will eventually pass. Republicans at the federal level are already pushing bills for this to happen. You are just going to end up like a beaten animal left to die in a cage. Sad really, but you have rabies so…

So all DeSantis objects to about marijuana is the smell? — That reeks of hypocrisy. and dishonesty. – There are various ways to consume marijuana that don’t create a smell – as with edibles and vaporizers.
NO state regrets re-legalizing marijuana. The statement that they do is just another DeSantis lie.
Every person who chooses near harmless marijuana over addictive, very harmful alcohol, improves their health significantly – as well as the lives of their family and community.
It’s insane and incredibly cruel to continue ANY punishment of responsible, adult marijuana consumers!

Good ol’ Tom!!! HaHaHaHaHaHa! I like that: “pot head”. Hahahahahah…oh God that’s good….he’s straight out of the 70’s man. Desantis isn’t signing or “passing” anything for the record, no governor can, but when it someday makes it into the ballot box, rest assured, the voters will INDEED vote for legal weed! That much is sure! Desantis and his bitch Ashley Moody will keep trying to smack down the will of the people, but at least 2 thirds of us want to legalize that silly little plant Tom hates so much!!!!!

@Tom – No. He’s right. Anyone who is just mildly aware of the history of marijuana legalization knows we are ending the fraudulently enacted marijuana prohibition, just as we ended the misguided alcohol prohibition.

No one cares bout you John, Douglas. Gene, Stephen, Wally or any burnout, pothead, cannabis lover. Save your grievance, cannabis is a drug that society can do without. We have enough crime, looting, corrupt money acts, suicide, drug dependency and other social things. Get a life losers. Enough.

@Tom – You’re DEAD wrong, as always. Polls show 68 to 70 percent of ALL Americans want to end the monstrously destructive, fraudulently enacted marijuana prohibition.
Thanks for showing that Republicans consider 70 percent of Americans “nobody.” — Typical fascist. – Go suck down your VASTLY more harmful Budweiser.

Drinking Alcohol is the real legal killer of MANY PEOPLE, IT RUINS many families lives when it is abused in which I believe happens more than marijuana.

Because petrochemical manufacturing donates big ass money to republican monsters like desantis….they are the puppet masters that pull the strings around here, along with alcohol, tobacco lobbyists firearms and many other deadly vices and big pharma! Those things may slowly ruin society, but he can’t complain about the stank of those things!

Pot has been a huge help to people dealing with chronic pain where opioids cause even more damage then the pain they are trying to help.

Floridians both red and blue have GOT to get this heartless Caesar out the emperor’s throne! G@dDamn this frickin guy is dumb…. The smell? He and his friends take advantage of underage hookers that smell worse than a field of cannabis plants…..he was on Trumps duck so hard, up until he decided to get it into his greasy head to take the presidency! I’ve seen him at his little “ass-kissing ceremonies” where he surrounds himself with the most IGNORANT republicans, hyping up his base to the fullest and kissing his own ass! What a pig…if u believe anything he says, you’re crazy

Truly demented Marcus and candy,
Liberal mental illness rampant.
Memo: Biden is negative 38% approval in Florida, negative in 46 states.
America’s Gov wins bigly Nov 22.
WH is very doable after the re elect!
Enjoy.

A hundred thousand Floridians have read this stupid article in the last four days, and the ONLY one to post a POSITIVE comment about Bitchsantis is that stupid, Trump-humping Tom! What does that tell you about the evolution of the typical southern voter? Anyone with a brain knows Dicksantis would probably destroy America within weeks…much like he destroyed Florida…in 9 months we will see a new governor, Deathsantis is a racist pig and a thief to boot, and his Trump-humping base is clearly as racist and corrupt as he is if they’re ok with what he’s pushing! I mean, the guy got billions of dollars from Biden himself, money that was to pay the landlords of Florida who have been hurt by the pandemic…then he JUST KEPT THE CASH! he put it in his pocket and he’s refusing to pay the landlords who have been ripped off! He runs his d!ck-suckin mouth about “tax and spend democrats” then he steals all the money meant to help poor people and landlords that haven’t been paid in years! Old “Tom the Troll” is a real dying breed, I tell ya! Let’s hear ya make another “Cheech n Chong” reference twinkle tits tom….
