Richard Spurrier, 68, of St. Petersburg, Florida was arrested Saturday for giving passers-by free marijuana because 'it was Christmas.'
, a Florida man in Flagler County was arrested in May 2019 for asking police officers to share some marijuana with him.
Arthur Carracino flagged officers down showed them a marijuana plant he admitted to growing before telling officers,"Guys, you gotta smoke a bowl with me, please." Carracino was subsequently arrested. While medical marijuana has been legal in Florida since 2016, a proposed resolution to decriminalize 20 grams or less of recreational marijuana is expected to be voted on by Florida's legislature in 2020.
Not everyone is welcoming to the idea of recreational marijuana in Florida. In November, Floridians Against Recreational Marijuana announced its intention to prevent marijuana from becoming legal in the Sunshine State. "Our coalition has come together to defeat this dangerous ballot initiative, which will drive an increase in health care prices, increase costs on businesses and kill jobs and increase the burden on taxpayers that will pay for the costs associated with recreational marijuana," said FARM campaign manager Brian Swensen in a news release.
