Smoking and vaping in public in Florida may soon be a thing of the past if a bill by Florida GOP sate Sen. Joe Gruters becomes law. The bill would be introduced if weed in the state is legalized.
A Florida GOP state senator who supports legalizing marijuana has floated a bill that would prohibit people from lighting up on the streets. State Sen. Joe Gruters announced the potential legislation during a virtual news conference on Thursday, saying he wants smoking of all types and vaping in public banned for environmental and quality-of-life benefits if Florida voters approve a measure known as Amendment 3, which would also legalize marijuana for adults.
This is easy to do. This is well within our authority. I think we can get ahead of this. That is the whole purpose of the bill. It is very simple,' Gruters said, per NBC Miami. Gruters' support of Amendment 3 puts him at odds with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who opposes Amendment 3, saying similar measures have failed in other states. 'You go to places like Denver and it smells like marijuana,' DeSantis said in July, per Fox Baltimore.
