We're only in day 2 of early voting. I voted YES yesterday. Most polls are indicating now that the majority will prevail, however, the 60% needed to pass the amendment is favoring the unlikely side.
This past summer, support was extremely strong...a lot of seniors were actually behind it. Support numbers were in the high 70s and low 80s. Now, after a lawyer that was instrumental in getting the petitions signed and all the legalities completed on time, made a huge gaff at a rally on or near USF and numbers started to decline. May be a coincidence, but I'm not a firm believer in those. Also, remember that this vote will follow the gubernatorial race. One is for, the other is against. The AG running for re-election is against.
So, putting all that aside, should FL pass the amendment, it still has to be regulated and they have until July of next year. So, first crops of MMJ will not be ready until late 2015 or early 2016. And hopefully they will not regulate dispensaries and growers like they are doing with those focused on the FL Compassionate Care Act. 5 growers (30+ yrs of experience) located in 5 regions of the state. Completely bass ackwards! And if it passes, these 5 growers can't grow any of the high THC herb because they are regulated to .8% THC limit (Charlotte's Web variety).
I'm really hoping people in FL push this through. Not just because of my stock position, but because it will really help more people than you'd think. $TRTC can make a strong statement in FL if this passes. I'm keeping my ears open and if I hear of any numbers I can reasonably substantiate, be it good or bad, I will relay info to the board.
