When it comes to legalizing marijuana in Florida, the question is no longer whether it should be legalized. The question is whether lawmakers want a role in that process.
We think they should. But first, lawmakers have to accept a simple reality. It’s time to legalize recreational use of marijuana for adults.
There are plenty of reasons, not the least is that resistance has become futile. The political will to legalize pot is strengthening. A growing majority of Americans want it.
