    Reports at the time was that some of that money they routed into propaganda to convince people to not vote for legalization of recreational marijuana. (Medical is legal there)

    It failed with 55.9% of the population voting for it to pass. Had the vote happened between 1845 and 2006, it would have passed. But Florida changed the requirements for legislation to pass to 60% instead of 50 in 2006. Which that legislation passed with…less than 60% of the vote, this would not have gone into effect if it had to pass its own rules.

    Had Desantis not preached against it, and used government funds to manipulate public opinion, that legislation would have still likely passed.
