>> THE FUTURE OF RECREATIONAL POT IS UP IN THE AIR. THE STATE SAYS THE GROUP LEADING THE CHARGE DOESN’T HAVE THE SIGNATURES TO PUT THE ISSUE ON THE BALLOT THIS YEAR. BUT THAT GROUP IS APPEALING. IF IT’S NOT ON THE BALLOT, THE STATE LAWMAKER BELIEVES THEY HAVE A PLAN TO MAKE POT LEGAL. >> GULF COAST IS REPORTER AND A TOUCH WAS GIVEN RARE ACCESS TO A LAB WITH A PACKAGE MEDICAL MARIJUANA TO FIND OUT HOW OPERATIONS WOULD CHANGE IF IT BECOMES LEGAL FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES. >> THIS IS OUR FACILITY. WE DO EVERYTHING FROM PACKAGING FAR GOING CONCENTRATES GOING CARTS TO HAVE ON ONE’S CHALK PITS AND WE HAVE CHOOSE THAT. WE MAKE IT. >> RUDY WILL NEED A IS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF OPERATIONS AND SALES FOR MITT CANNABIS. HE GAVE GULF COAST NEWS RARE AND EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO SHOW YOU HOW THEIR MEDICAL MARIJUANA PRODUCTS ARE MADE BEFORE THEY HIT THE SHELVES. >> SO IF WE CAN GET TO KNOW THIS PLANT IN THE WAY THAT WE NEED TO USE IT TODAY, I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE MIGHT GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY AND MAYBE FIND A WAY FOR IT TO BE USEFUL FOR FOR THEM, AT LEAST. >> LOOKS LIKE WE’RE IN THE KITCHEN. WHAT ARE WE COULD RIGHT NOW ON THIS? NANCY HARRIS’S ARE ARE HAVE SHOP. SHE IS NOW PREPARING TO MAKE SOME MORE GOOD NEWS FOR US OR CHOOSE, AS THEY SAY IN THIS. AND THIS MARKET. >> MEDICAL MARIJUANA IS VERY POPULAR IN FLORIDA WITH OVER 740 AUTHORIZE DISPENSARIES AND 930,000 ACTIVE CARDHOLDERS. SOME PEOPLE, INCLUDING LAWMAKERS BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR RECREATIONAL USE WILL IN TWENTY-TWENTY. 4 FLORIDA VOTERS SPOKE VERY LOUDLY AND CLEARLY VAST MAJORITY OF THEM ACTUALLY SUPPORTED AMENDMENT 3, WHICH WOULD HAVE LEGALIZED CANNABIS FOR A RESPONSIBLE ADULT USE IN FLORIDA. 56% OF VOTERS SAID YES TO THE AMENDMENT, A MAJORITY, BUT NOT THE 60% NEEDED TO PASS. THAT’S WHY SENATOR CARLOS GUILLERMO SMITH IS PROPOSING A NEW LEGISLATION. WE HAVE A SITUATION WHERE PEOPLE ARE BEING INCARCERATED, HIM PROSECUTED FOR SIMPLE CANNABIS POSSESSION. THIS IS NOT WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING AS A SOCIETY. AND AS A CULTURE, THE BILL AIMS TO LEGALIZE AND REGULATE MARIJUANA FOR ADULTS RESTRUCTURE HOW CANNABIS IS TAXED, SOLD, GROWN AND LICENSED, SMART AND SAFE. FLORIDA WAS LEADING THE CHARGE TO GET ON THE 2026 BALLOT. THE STATE SAYS THAT EFFORT HAS FAILED WHILE SMART AND SAFE. FLORIDA SAYS IT WILL CONTINUE WORKING TOWARD AN AMENDMENT. SMITH SAYS HIS BILL WOULD CHANGE EVERYTHING. WELL, IT MEANS RIGHT NOW THAT THIS IS THE MOST VIABLE ROUTE TO ACTUALLY GETTING CANNABIS LEGALIZED IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. SO I WOULD URGE YOUR VIEWERS TO CONTACT THEIR STATE SENATORS AND THEIR STATE REPRESENTATIVES AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO CO-SPONSOR THIS LEGISLATION. MOLINA SAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS FOR YOU TO ASK QUESTIONS IF WE COULD JUST GET A LITTLE MORE EDUCATION AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE’RE DOING AND WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. WHY THIS SOME LIGHTS ON SO WELL. >> OVER THOUSANDS OF YEARS, WE’RE JUST GETTING TO KNOW HIM A LITTLE BETTER NOW. FOR NOW, IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN IF THIS FLOWER WILL TAKE RO
