'The Governor is Full of Sh*t': Cannabis Groups Slam DeSantis' Anti-Marijuana Comments
Cannabis groups supporting Florida's recreational marijuana amendment slammed DeSantis for his anti-cannabis comments

April 18, 2024
TALLAHASSEE, FL—Cannabis groups supporting Florida's recreational marijuana amendment blasted Governor Ron DeSantis for saying the measure will cause the state to smell like pot and allow people to smoke the drug outside of schools.
"The Governor is full of shit for saying that," said Chris Cano, Executive Director for the Suncoast Chapter of NORML—a non-profit organization aimed at reforming marijuana laws. "He's just being sensationalist to the maximum degree,"
"What the Governor's trying to do at this point is trying to drive fear and trying to depress the vote, because there are two key ballot initiatives that are going to drive out voters who typically do not vote for the Governor or his party," Cano said, pointing to the abortion-rights and recreational marijuana measures on the November ballot.
Cano explained that Florida has strict laws on both marijuana possession and clean air, telling The Floridian that, "It's still a Schedule 1 federal drug. Florida's amendment is much stricter in scope than what they've done in New York, and DeSantis can try to make all these comparisons and raise all this hell about how adult-use cannabis is gonna change how Florida is—but it's not,"
"Because one, Florida is a conservative state, and two, we have so many other laws that go around with it. This is not New York-style legalization," he continued.
Under current law, possessing over 20 grams of cannabis is a felony punishable by a maximum sentence of five years imprisonment and $5,000, while the sale or delivery within 1,000 feet of a school is a felony punishable by a maximum sentence of up to 15 years imprisonment and $10,000.
Florida's proposed ballot initiative, Amendment 3, would allow adults 21 and older to possess up to three ounces of marijuana with up to five grams in the form of concentrate. Existing Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTCs) would be authorized to sell recreational marijuana.
The Amendment would also allow the Florida Legislature to license entities other than existing MMTCs to cultivate and sell marijuana products.
Wednesday morning, Governor DeSantis told onlookers at a Hialeah press conference that Amendment 3 is so broad that "you are not going to be able to restrict where people use it—your life will be impacted by this."
He continued, saying that people can "just be sitting there toking up" next to an elementary school.
Steve Vancore, Spokesman for Smart and Safe Florida—the organization that sponsored the ballot initiative, disagreed.
"If Amendment 3 passes, the Florida legislature will – without a shadow of a doubt – have authority to regulate time, place, and manner restrictions just as they currently have the authority to regulate things like smoking tobacco in public places or drinking," he told The Floridian in a statement.
"We agree with the Governor that we don’t want to see people smoking in public and will join him in supporting laws to ensure those types of restrictions," he added.
The Zelensky Curse: How Aid to Ukraine May Deep-Six Another House Speaker
House Speaker Mike Johnson has introduced aid bills for Israel, Ukraine, and the Indo-Pacific, with voting scheduled to take place on either Friday night or Saturday. Several House Republicans have indicated their intention to oust the speaker from his position.
Despite his repeated pledges to bring foreign aid bills to the House floor only when a solution to the border crisis is found, Speaker Johnson unveiled three separate funding packages, namely $26 billion for Israel, $61 billion for Ukraine, and $8 billion for Taiwan and allies in Indo-Pacific, at the time when the US southern frontier still remains wide open.
"Republican speaker Mike Johnson went into that secured room with a bunch of guys in gray suits from the deep state, and he came out of that room after the meeting as Uniparty speaker Mike Johnson and no longer a Republican," Michael Shannon, a political commentator and Newsmax columnist, told Sputnik.
"That's the only explanation for it that makes sense, because he's completely turned around, and now he's on the Washington agenda of the Uniparty and no longer listens to or tries to do what the base wants," the commentator continued. "That's what's happening here. Once they get into a position of leadership, they abandon the base," he maintained.
Shannon explained that Ukraine is obviously not on the GOP's base priority list right now, given that Republican voters are much more concerned about the influx of illegals into the US, inflation, and budget deficit spending.
A recent YouGov survey indicated that 61% of Republicans don't approve of sending more weapons and other military assistance to Ukraine. Among them, 69% of self-identified MAGA Republicans and 55% of non-MAGA Republicans said they don't want to send more military aid to the Kiev regime.
A group of House conservatives confronted Mike Johnson on Thursday, namely, Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) advocating the motion to vacate in order to sack the incumbent speaker in the same way they ousted his predecessor, Kevin McCarthy. Massie told journalists that there would be more Republican votes to remove Speaker Johnson than there were to boot out McCarthy last October.
"If I had my wish, MTG’s motion to vacate the speakership, which I believe Representative Chip Roy from Texas also supports, would be successful, and the speaker's chair would be vacated, and it would stay vacated until after the election," said Shannon. "It's obvious we can't pass any conservative legislation with this House and this Senate.
So not passing any bad legislation as far as I'm concerned, and as Daniel Horowitz of the Conservative Review mentioned, is probably the most viable alternative. That being said, I don't know if MTG has the votes to vacate the speakership. I think we'll just have to see how that develops."

US House Speaker Leaves Ukraine in Limbo, Prioritizing Israel Aid
15 April, 14:30 GMT
According to Axios, hardline Republicans may force a vote on the motion to vacate shortly before the aid bills for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan hit the House floor.
Some Democrats, who hailed Johnson's maneuver regarding the Ukraine aid bill, said they would help the speaker save his job. For his part, Johnson said he would not resign and branded the effort to oust him as "absurd". However, the timing is crucial, a senior House Democrat said, as quoted by the media outlet: the Dems are much more likely to "save" Johnson after the aid bills are passed, not before that.
Massie warned Johnson against relying on Democrats, stressing that the speaker would become "toxic to the conference." "For every Democrat who comes to his aid, he'll lose 2-3 more Republicans," the congressman said, as quoted by NBC News’ Sahil Kapur.

Looks that way
Momentum is growing quickly behind the effort to remove Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) from power if he moves to alter the motion to vacate rule as part of a package of foreign aid that’s expected to pass through the House this weekend.

House GOP unveils border bill as conservatives slam foreign aid measures
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4601559-border-bill-house-gop-introduces/?email=a847a43b9c99026a728b4bd541e637625305ce80&emaila=aecd5459be4f02f91b0cd8f3982617fb&emailb=f51ffe75b0642f30b23837731dfe6c072826e8afa803f9befb28bb39829f2681&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=04.17.24%20-%20JPJ%20-%20House%20GOP%20unveils
House GOP leaders on Wednesday introduced a new border security bill designed to appease conservatives who are up in arms that Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) foreign aid package excluded tougher measures to battle migration.
Johnson announced Wednesday morning that he was plowing ahead with sending aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan despite outspoken opposition from hard-line Republicans, many of whom were incensed that his plan excluded border security. For months, the Speaker had said that any assistance for Kyiv must be paired with legislation to address the situation at the southern border.
But in a change to his initial plan, the Speaker said he would move a separate border security bill as the House considered the foreign aid measures, a move that was largely viewed as a way to pacify the conservative anger. He said the border security bill would move under a separate procedural rule from the Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan measures.
The gambit, however, was met with sharp — and immediate — criticism from hard-line Republicans, who dismissed the new border bill as weak and part of a bad-faith effort by Johnson to satisfy the conservative concerns.
“That is a joke,” Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.), the chair of the House Freedom Caucus, told reporters of the border bill. “That’s pretend. That’s theater. That’s noise.”
“It’s a theatrics, shiny object,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) echoed. “It’s the shiny object for Republicans that are saying we got to do something for the border.”
The House is expected to vote on the border bill in the coming days as part of Johnson’s plan to send aid to embattled U.S. allies. But even if it passes the House it will face a dead end in the Senate, where many of the provisions are non-starters among Democrats.
Johnson, nonetheless, is pitching the border bill as an “aggressive” measure that is instrumental to the broader conversation about the national security supplemental.
“We’re gonna push a very aggressive border security measure on the floor. It’s part of this whole process. All these things are intertwined,” he told reporters Wednesday afternoon. “If you’re gonna talk about national security, and this is a national security supplemental package, you have to begin at our own border. And that’s what we’ve been saying over and over and over.”
“I think it’s gonna be a popular measure, and I expect we’re gonna vote that through with a big, sadly I think it’ll be a partisan vote, but I believe every Republican will support it, and then we will go out and tell the American people we’re still fighting for you,” he later added.
The original legislation that the End the Border Catastrophe Act is based on — H.R. 2 — was immediately ignored by the Senate after the House passed the bill last May.
The new legislation largely mirrors that effort, teeing up a vote on another bill that would drastically limit asylum and also require building former President Trump’s border wall.
Beyond slicing away at asylum protections for those fleeing persecution, the bill also limits other pathways for legal migration to the U.S.
It also re-ups other Trump-era policies, including requiring reignition of the controversial Remain in Mexico program requiring migrants to await their asylum cases in Mexico that was rescinded by the Biden administration.
Immigration advocates at the time had described H.R. 2 as among the most extreme provisions to be seriously considered by the House in recent years.
The only text from H.R. 2 to be struck from the new version is a provision that aimed to stem the hiring of those not legally present in the U.S. It sliced from the latest version a provision that would have required employers to do more to verify someone was legally qualified to work in the U.S. before hiring them.
“We’re gonna put the key elements of H.R. 2, which is our legislation that House Republicans passed over a year ago; it’s been sitting on Chuck Schumer’s desk collecting dust as they mock it,” Johnson said.
“We’re gonna reintroduce that. End catch and release, reinstate Remain in Mexico, fix the broken asylum process, fix the broken parole process, it’s been abused, rebuild portions of the wall.”
