WilshireDeSantis Claims Florida Marijuana Legalization Ballot Measure Will Let People 'Bring 20 Joints To An Elementary School'
RapidcreekYeah, but what I want to know is what happened to the Taco trucks on every street. It’s closing 8n on lunch.
Just think of how marijuana legalization would help the taco truck industry!
toomanypancakesThat sounds awful! If you’re gonna bring something to class, you need to bring enough for everyone.
Maybe he’s touting smaller class sizes?
JesusTrue. Republicans famously love funding public education.
They’re full gram joints. I don’t think Little Timmy needs more than two puffs from one. Puff puff pass.

That all depends on how your body processes THC. For some people I know, two puffs is plenty. For others (Me, for example), two puffs ain’t gonna do shit.
What you’re describing is tolerance. I don’t think most children have any tolerance to THC.
The PantserPuff puff pass with 20 joints seems like enough for everyone.
Seems like a good math problem.
“Alright class, we have 20 joints with an average of 30 puffs each. There are 35 students, one teacher, and 2 teachers aides. How many puffs does everyone get?”
EdgarallenpwnIt’s not like the kids have a high tolerance
LucidlethargyIt’s sad that we all just accept the fact most schools have classes of more than 20 kids… What a goddamn disaster education is in this country.
I was just thinking that 20 would only cover about half an average class
He smiles so so terribly.
Teachers can bring guns, let the kids bring weed.
It’s the best way to keep everyone calm with all those guns around
ZachariahHappy cake day 🎉
When the shooting starts, the joints come out
Tactical spliffs
Guns aren’t too concerning by themselves, but I think we all know a few teachers from our school years that should never, ever own one.
Yup we had one go nuts and dump out all our cubbies in 6th grade, because too many of us forgot to bring out work and she was convinced we hadn’t done it and left it in our bags.
She retired at the end of that year.
I had another in HS that threw a hammer at a kid (it was a vocational class), that annoyingly put me off a career in the trades. I wish now that I’d stuck with it. I much prefer working with my hands to temporarily organizing pixels.
It’s never to late to start. We just had a guy who was 45, and worked in an office his entire career, join our apprenticeship. Being a union electrician is a great gig. Our pay is great and the benefits are awesome.
Look, teachers gotta be able to wind down in the break room.
Pearls clutched!
robocallRon should try some weed
He probably does, but of course he has a persona to uphold.
If only there were states that passed similar laws that we could look at to see how things played out.
Oh wait. We do. And none of this shit happened.
Reminds me of the fear mongering a conservative family member was spouting when my state legalized weed. She was going on and on about how car accidents were going to “skyrocket” because everyone would be driving high. We’ve been legalized for about four years now, the first time I heard about any high driving incident was a couple of weeks ago when two people died. Now, obviously the number of high drivers is probably more than that, and any kind of intoxicated driving is irresponsible, but that’s the first time I heard a case make the news, meanwhile NHTSA says an average of 37 people die due to drunk driving per day.
Alcohol is pretty unique as a drug in causing car accidents. Most other drugs will either relax/sedate you enough so you don’t want to go out (opiates, ketamine), make you anxious enough so you won’t want to drive (cannabis, hallucinogens), or stimulate you enough so that if you do drive you probably won’t be that bad (coke, meth). Only alcohol will keep you up enough to socialize, confident enough to drive, and impaired enough to crash. Even if you were to legalize all drugs alcohol would still probably be the largest cause by far for impaired driving accidents.
Does it ever occur to anyone to just say, “that doesn’t make any sense and is probably a distortion”?
Seeing as his supporters believe they’re destined to spend eternity in flames unless a man in a robe puts water on their heads because a rib woman was once convinced by a talking snake to eat magical fruit, I’m thinking no.
MegaUltraChickenDon’t forget you have to eat God converted into crackers and wine after telling the robe man all your secrets.
NutWrenchHey, elementary school kids need connections for weed just like everybody else, so I’m sure that will happen all the time.
Also, if you give cops “qualified immunity” they might decide to start murdering innocent people for no reason and get away with it. Only that happens to be true.
People already can bring 20 joints into a school if they want to.
prevalent odor of cannabis that he says would result from the reform
Oh no! Another smell to go along with car exhaust and low tide!
Don’t forget the stink of sprinklers spraying shitty hard water so it smells like diarrhea everywhere.
Which school, exactly? Asking for a friend.
South Florida is turning into New Atlantis and this fucking idiot is complaining about weed. I hope he gets hit by a meteor.
Boomer Humor DoomergodThe Atlantis of legend had advanced technology and beautiful and intelligent people, which doesn’t sound like South Florida to me.
Yea I live here dude no reason to insult me.
Everytime a person or group is against something, they pull out the ol’ “what about kids and schools?!” Like they give a shit.
Oh, they definitely do care about schools.That’s where middle age conservatives meet their wives.
For those that don’t know, this isn’t even a sneer. Its literally true.
theprogressivist If they’re trying to pass legislation with the guise of protecting children 10 out of 10 times its not about protecting children. It’s one of the oldest grifts out there.
“I hope you brought enough for everyone”
ZorsithAnd as long as they aren’t being given/sold to minors, I don’t care! I’m sure half the teachers have harder stuff on hand anyway.
I see that you, too, have met a lot of teachers outside of the classroom as an adult.
higher education...
gilaReminder that teaching while drunk is perfectly legal in Florida
Oh course is legal to be drunk at your job as long as it doesn’t involve operation of dangerous machinery like automobiles or otherwise put someone in imminent danger.
Whether or not it will get you fired is a completely different thing.
Wouldn’t it be nice if Ron died a horrible, slow, painful death ?
Anything less than Rabies is better than he deserves.
And if somehow marijuana was the cure… or the cause!
Maple EngineerI live in Canada where marijuana is fully legal.
Ron DeSantis is a fucking idiot. Anyone who believes his bullshit is an even bigger fucking idiot.
They already gutted Florida ballot initiative the law so that it needs a minimum of a 60% majority to pass. They’ve openly rigged the marijuana ballot initiative part of the election to ensure it won’t pass. If they think they still have to go this hard on the propaganda to get enough people to vote against this thing maybe it’s time to read the writing on the walls.
Even needing 60% it’ll pass. Medical Marijuana passed 71-29 in 2016. We’ve had cbd stores and dispensaries on every other corner here in Tampa for the last five years and no one gives a shit. Floridians travel to Nevada, California, Colorado, and other states and see that’s its not a big deal.
I predict at least 70% vote for it. I’ll be floored if it gets less than 65%.
If it does pass it’ll be a major win for marijuana reform. Florida has 22 million people living there. That’s will put an even greater percentage of Americans living under a jurisdiction with fully legal weed.
I remember the FUD that was spread when Colorado and Washington State legalized. None of it happened. A local TV News crew created an exercise where they would make different levels of cannabis user drive a course while traffic cops would evaluate their abilities to operate a motor vehicle.
Every driver considered themselves to stoned to drive safely even though the cops said they didn’t drive like it. The Stoner girl said she was way to high to drive and wouldn’t even try in real life but she passed the tests.
And the smell thing… Pioneer Square in Seattle has a smell to it, if it hasn’t rained in a while. Lots of pissing in the alley type behavior. I worked for a hospital that ran a clinic there. Usually the area stinks.
A long comes accessable cannabis for all. IDK if you don’t like the smell of pot smoking.
It’s by far better than the smell of piss.
We also have a drinking culture where doing it alone at home is considered taboo. You’re supposed to go out to a bar and do it, and then get home somehow.
Cannabis use doesn’t have that culture, not even in legalized states.
UnderpantsWeevilIdk about that. There aren’t cannibas bars because cannibas isn’t legal. But the idea of going over to a friend’s house or on a date where you both smoke weed together is hardly new.
Ok so ban booze and guns.
Oh wait he’s talking out of his ass politically, ideologically, and logically.
