Meanwhile, The Florida Supreme Court just dropped a long awaited decision on legalization, ruling that Floridians will not be allowed to vote to legalize marijuana for adult use any time in the foreseeable future.

Ok, they just need to rewrite the bill. change permit to not prosecuted or some such somatic word play.
It's to do with wording and federal law, specifically the word "permit".
Beat me to it, old boy.

They are trying to change the law to make it more difficult to bring bills to the legislature. ie: no petitions

Yeah, did abit more reading. It seems the "this would not negate federal prosecution " statement which allowed the 2016 med bill to go through was left off this new bill. Which they said was misleading. But on the same note if Biden and Co. legalize federally it ccan be argued that states can't make illegal what is federaly legal.
Virginia residents starting this summer will be able to legally possess marijuana, following Democrat Gov. Ralph Northam signing the bill into law.
"As of July first, 2021, who’s counting but 71 days from now, Virginia will no longer police adults for possessing small amounts of marijuana," Northam said Wednesday upon signing the bill into law, according to The Virginia Star. "What this really means is that people will no longer be arrested or face penalties for simple possession that follow them and affect their lives."
Virginia becomes the first southern state to enact a marijuana legalization bill.
The bill passed by the Virginia Assembly earlier in the month allows Virginian residents 21 and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana.
Virginian residents will also be able to up to four cannabis plants so long as they are properly registered and documented with the resident's name, driver's license, and a note indicating the purpose of the plant. However, plant cannot be in public view.
