“I am going to implement the will of the voters. They passed medical marijuana overwhelmingly, and my view is is we have a process in Florida when that happens, then

we shouldn’t play games with it

. We should just simply implement it. Now I’m not somebody that thinks having recreational marijuana for young people is good. I think that will make it more difficult for people to succeed. And I think parents right now—it’s very difficult to raise children in the modern technological environment, you’ve got so many different distractions, to throw marijuana into it and make it more prevalent, I think would make it harder for parents. But on the medical side, we’ve got to respect the will of the voters.” (2018)
