Joe Gruters eviscerates recreational pot initiative opponent at USF forum

If it were a boxing match, the white towel would have been thrown before the first bell.

The University of South Florida’s (USF) Institute for Public Policy & Leadership hosted an Amendment 3 forum this week pitting Sen. Joe Gruters against former Sarasota political operative turned blogger Jamie Miller, who was there representing the opposition, although its important to note that Miller is not affiliated with the official No on 3 campaign.

To say it was a massacre would be an understatement.

Amendment 3 is one of the biggest items on this year’s ballot. The initiative would legalize recreational pot for adults, building on Floridians’ decision in 2016 to legalize medical marijuana.

And in an era where political polarization is as high as ever, legalizing recreational pot is one rare area of agreement between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
