ONE MORE FOR THE ROAD
Briefly: As the industry undergoes major changes provoked by rescheduling news, Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers weighed in on another looming cannabis landmark: Florida’s rescheduling vote.
What Happened: When asked if Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would change his opposition if legal cannabis was approved, "I mean, getting over 60 percent of the electorate to vote in favor of anything is a tall feat.”
What Else: She added, "We will have to go through implementation, but I do not expect or anticipate that Governor DeSantis would put up massive roadblocks post-approval in November."
Why It Matters: In terms of advocacy efforts such as the YesOn3 Campaign in Florida, Rivers has not only been working closely with Safe and Smart Florida, but Trulieve has donated somewhere in the area of $40 million to the effort.
What Next: The ballot measure will be voted on in November’s election.
