"The weed one is not just decriminalize. It's basically a license to have it anywhere you want," DeSantis said. "No time, place, and manner restrictions. This state will start to smell like marijuana in our cities and towns; it will reduce the quality of life."
The governor mentioned how he was a major proponent for medical marijuana in the state but doesn't believe anymore is necessary.
