DeSantis ramps up opposition to Florida cannabis and abortion amendments as support grows

Two proposed amendments in Florida, one for legalizing recreational marijuana and another for protecting abortion rights, are gaining support, with polls showing 60% and 58% approval, respectively. Governor Ron DeSantis is actively opposing both amendments, using state funds for campaign ads and speeches against them. His administration has spent nearly $1 million on advertising as early voting begins. DeSantis's tactics have raised concerns, with reports of law enforcement questioning petition signers. The Florida Office of Election Crimes has opened over 40 investigations into petition gatherers, creating a tense atmosphere for advocates.
