Dear Florida stoners, if you want marijuana to be legal, one must refrain from toking up and watching cartoons for hours on election day.

I've advocated legalization of marijuana for decades...and I don't smoke the stuff. HOWEVER, now that I live in Washington, a state that legalized pot 2 years ago...IMO, it's not working here. The supply of "approved marijuana" is so low and the taxes on it so high, that the prices are ridiculous...and it's much cheaper to buy from the guy on the street corner. Yes, you will PROBABLY get a more consistently better grade of pot at a pot shop...but you'll pay 25-50% more for your dope than you will from a black market seller.
The Washington Liquor Control Board (in charge of pot sales) has too many restrictions on who can have licenses, too few licenses available, too many restrictions on where shops that sell marijuana can be located, PLUS, the law allows cities/counties to ban sales in their jurisdictions. (and it's currently illegal to grow your own)

What's the law on growing your own for personal consumption in States that permit the sale of MM?

I actually voted against it, and it looks it will pass, and probably more skeletor, too.
Nice stereotyping.
If you only knew.

The best part is that even if marijuana is legal in adjoining states, it's illegal to transport it across state lines. But that's another one of those laws that is very selectively enforced (and by "selective" I mean "not").
I just wonder how much of an impact the voter suppression tactics had that might have kept 100k or more folks away from the polls? I mean that would definitely have affected the ability to get something like this passed.
Down here if they are not just buying cheap houses to turn into grow houses, they are clearing out sections of corn fields; planting their weed and harvesting prior to the farmer or anyone else knowing.
With all the automation on a farm today, no one is the wiser. Something like $100,000 in weed can be easily grown and harvested this way.

You must live in some odd section of Florida, I've never seen a corn field here myself.
And I grew up in Indiana and used to see them all the time.
Yep congrats to the old timers at Florida for failing to pass this. Meanwhile alcohol is A.O.K.!!! Idiots...
And I don't even smoke pot or live in FL.
Voter turnout is a constant issue in the U.S. around an election, particularly among the young. In exit polls from Tuesday's midterms, for example, only 13 percent of voters were under 30.
Nonvoters are also more racially diverse than the voting population and are less educated. More than 40 percent of likely nonvoters in the 2014 elections identified as Hispanic, black or other racial/ethnic minorities, compared with 22 percent of likely voters. While most voters (72 percent) have completed some college, nonvoters are more likely to have never attended college.
Not quite true. There's definitely increased activity in states adjacent to CO, probably with a lot of profiling. Nah- couldn't be.
