Florida voters have a lot of power, and they could make history this fall if they approve Amendment 3, which would legalize the recreational use of cannabis for adults 21 and older.
“I believe Amendment 3 is a game-changer for our state, and its chances on the ballot are strong,” Krystal Rodriguez, told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay.
To talk about the ballot initiative, Rodriguez’s consulting company, Kreative Solutions, has come together with Hillsborough County’s Black Chamber of Commerce, and others, to organize a panel discussion in Riverview this month.
