9. Unlike most, I have little faith in the all-seeing power of economic determinism...

It is little more than secular Bible-quoting designed to stop any intelligent conversation.

I think FL will pass med marijuana in 2 weeks, and be poised to float a recreational use measure within a few years, which would pass, esp. if those well-heeled PharmCo interests decide it has little to do with them, and esp. when alcohol manufacturers realize that reefer has little to do with drinking habits. At that time, eco-determ might come into real effect if a campaign is built around saving money, and raising use taxes. Florida is, imo, better positioned that MA, where pot legalization is polling 50-50 with opposition from the prohibitionist Democratic AG and the GOPer Governor. In the end, you have to hope I am right, and I have to hope you are wrong!



I grew up in G'ville, my Mom's family goes back to Antebellum Bartow area. Somewhere in our history the expression handed down was this: "If it ain't been tried, it'll be tried in Florida."
