Bipartisan Support Grows for Marijuana Legalization

In Florida, bipartisan support for Amendment 3, which seeks to legalize recreational marijuana, is highlighted by an ad featuring state Senators Joe Gruters and Shevrin Jones. Despite political differences, both senators advocate for the amendment, emphasizing freedom, safety, and economic opportunities. Meanwhile, in Texas, Democratic candidate Sally Duval has released a provocative campaign ad showing her smoking marijuana to criticize the state's unclear cannabis laws and advocate for legalization. Duval argues that legalizing and regulating marijuana would support small farmers and generate tax revenue for public services. Her campaign targets confusion around the legality of hemp products like Delta-8 and Delta-9, which are legally sold despite marijuana being illegal. Both campaigns reflect a growing movement towards marijuana legalization and reform in their respective states.
