DeSantis Claims NYC, LA, Denver “Reek Of Marijuana”

“Look what’s happened in Denver, Colorado. Look what’s happened in Los Angeles, New York City. You know, I’ve talked to people that have moved from New York and they’re like, they used to have, you know, an apartment somewhere and it used to smell differently.

“Now, what does it reek of? It reeks of marijuana. I don’t want the state to be reeking of marijuana. I mean, you know, they have these back ailments and like, I’m not saying none of them are legit, but some of them clearly they’re doing it to get the [medical] card.

“Like we know that some of this goes on and yet why would we want to have more? Do you want to walk down the street here and smell it? Do you want to not be able to take your family out to dinner?” – Ron DeSantis, today in a speech ostensibly meant to announce that admission to Florida state parks will be free on Memorial Day.
