Massive Florida Grow House Sets Stage For Legal Weed

The Orlando Sentinel reports:

The pungent, sticky sweet smell of marijuana is the first thing visitors notice when they enter the 750,000-square-foot grow house that Trulieve built east of Tallahassee. Giant holding tanks filled with water are injected with a proprietary blend of fertilizer and sent on their way through a network of pipes to feed the fledgling plants, which sit in neat rows on metal trays the size of cars in a facility the size of 13 football fields.

Trulieve has invested nearly $40 million in the Smart & Safe Florida citizens ballot initiative to legalize adult use of recreational marijuana in Florida for voters to consider next year. The group has submitted more than a million signatures to get it on the ballot. The ballot language is under review by the Florida Supreme Court to see if it meets the statutory standard of being clear and unambiguous and covers only a single subject.

Read the full article. No paywall. As I’ve previously reported, DeSantis and Florida’s state attorney general are battling to keep legal weed off next year’s ballot.
