HONORING PENSACOLA’S BLACK HISTORY Courtesy of Visit Pensacola
T
his vacation hotspot might be best known for its sugarwhite b eaches and turquoise water, but beyond its postcard beauty lies a rich and diverse history. In honor of Black History Month, here are eight important historical landmarks commemorating the struggles,triumphs and contributions of the Black community in Pensacola
UNDERGROUND RAILROAD SITES: PENSACOLA PASS & FORT BARRANCAS In 2021, two sites in Pensacola were named to the National Park Service’s National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Program. The National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom is a federal program that commemorates the stories of the men and women who risked everything for freedom and those who helped them. It honors, preserves and promotes the history of resistance to enslavement through escape and flight worldwide. In the mid-1800s, Pensacola Pass formed part of a transportation route for freedom seekers sailing on the Underground Railroad. Freedom seekers sailed to destinations like the Bahamas, Massachusetts and New Hampshire to gain freedom. Fort Barrancas Area, commonly called the Barrancas during the Civil War, became a destination for freedom seekers in 1863. At the Barrancas, the Union maintained a military post—which included the Spanish Water Battery, Fort Barrancas and Advanced Redoubt—for recruiting, training and staging white and Black soldiers. Some freedom seekers became soldiers in the United States Colored Troops, playing an important role in the fight to restore the Union and destroy slavery.
BELMONT-DEVILLIERS NEIGHBORHOOD This historically Black neighborhood came to prominence during the early 20th century, when segregation and mounting racial tension pushed Pensacola’s Black residents out of the city center. The neighborhood, clustered around the intersection of Belmont and DeVilliers streets, became a thriving commercial hub. It was also a prominent stop on the Chitlin’ Circuit—a network of mostly Blackownedentertainment venues that sprung to life during segregation and nurtured the careers of some of the biggest names in American music. In 2019, the area was named a spot on the historic Mississippi Blues Trail. The marker recognizes the works of those in the neighborhood dedicated to fostering the growth and appreciation of the Blues including Gussie Streeter of Gussie’s Record Shop and Abe Pierce Sr., of Abe’s 506 and Savoy Ballroom. Today, more than 200 markers have been placed throughout the southeast region to promote the understanding of blues history.
JULEE PANTON HOUSE IN HISTORIC PENSACOLA VILLAGE Julee Panton was a free Black woman who owned a home in downtown Pensacola in the early 1800s, during the slavery era. Historians write that she acquired her simple, wood-framed house, builtin 1805, for $300. Panton operated her own business selling candles and pastries, but she is also believed to have helped many slaves to escape to freedom. Her home is now called Julee Cottage and is part of Historic Pensacola Village, a complex of historic homes and buildings in downtown operated by the University of West Florida Historic Trust. Patton’s cottage, now on E. Zaragoza Street, is the only surviving Pensacola home reminiscent of the urban Creole architecture of the French Quarter in New Orleans. It now
houses an exhibit on Black history in West Florida.
GENERAL DANIEL “CHAPPIE” JAMES MUSEUM & FLIGHT ACADEMY Daniel “Chappie” James was born in Pensacola in 1920, during the height of the Jim Crow era. His mother, Lillie James, ran a private school for Black children out of her home in Pensacola’s Eastside neighborhood. From an early age, James knew the value of hard work and education — values that would serve him well later in life. James went on to become one of the famed “Tuskegee Airmen” during World War II, and later, the nation’s first Black four-star general. Today, a memorial plaza stands on the site of James’ childhood home — along with the original concrete stoop, emblazoned with the words, “Chappie’s first steps.” The memorial is a palpable reminder of the strength and perseverance of Pensacola’s Black community — even in the face of overwhelming odds. In 2018, James’s childhood home, located at 1608 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in downtown Pensacola, was opened as General Daniel “Chappie” James Museum and Flight Academy. PENSACOLA LUNCH COUNTER SIT-INS The Pensacola Lunch Counter Sit-Ins led to the integration of downtown cafes. From 1960 to 1962, protestors conducted sit-ins at downtown Pensacola department store lunch counters, demanding the restaurants be integrated. The events are commemorated in a historical marker located on Palafox Place near Garden Street in downtown Pensacola, outside the former site of Woolworth’s department store. “Confronted by hecklers, they (the protestors) were physically and verbally harassed and even arrested on falsified charges,” according to the marker. As a result of the sit-
ins, and an accompanying boycott of downtown businesses, the lunch counters were finally integrated on March 12, 1962.
JOHNSON BEACH – ARMY PVT. ROSAMOND JOHNSON, JR. Army Pvt. Rosamond Johnson Jr. was only 15 years old when he enlisted in the army and only 17 years old when he saved two soldiers in battle during the Korean War on July 26, 1950. While attempting to save a third, Johnson was killed, marking him as the first Black soldier and first resident of Escambia County to be killed in the Korean War. At the time of his death, most Pensacola Bay Area beaches were not open to Blacks except for one in Perdido Key. The beach was accordingly renamed in his honor and remains to this day a part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. *Gulf Islands National Seashore is currently working on a project to enhance the visitor experience and decrease habitat impacts in the Perdido Key Area. Johnson Beach Road (beyond the parking lot) will be closed until March 2024. MIDDLE PASSAGE OF PENSACOLA/AFRICAN PRESENCE IN COLONIAL PENSACOLA MARKER Located at the end of Plaza de Luna on Palafox Street, the marker commemorates Pensacola as a Middle Passage port during the largest forced migration in history and the role it played in the transportation of 12 million enslaved Africans across the Atlantic Ocean from Africa to the Americas. More closely, the historical marker highlights the significant African presence in colonial Pensacola where the “influence and contributions of African children, women, men and their descendants in creating our nation and this region began,” the marker reads. As documented by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization Slave Trade Route Project, two million enslaved Africans died during the journey and 500,000 were delivered directly to the North American mainland. Pensacola is one of 28 documented sites of memory for slave arrivals in the United States and the upbringing of this historical marker was recognized through the nonprofit Middle Passage Ceremonies and Port Markers Project. THE ELLA JORDAN AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY MUSEUM There are approximately 35,000 museums in the United States, of those, approximately 150 focus on African American studies and/or history. From that 150, less than ten are focused on African American Women’s history. Located at 423 N. C St. in downtown Pensacola, the Ella Jordan African American History Museum was established to honor the significant political, social and economic contributions of African American women in our community throughout our history, particularly that of Ms. Ella L Jordan. This museum preserves the history of the women’s stories, captures the historical importance of place and positions this history to reinstate the philanthropic work of women to support the youth of tomorrow. Although the immediate area is still predominantly a Black neighborhood, several blocks away residents are young people, many of which are first-time home owners with a desire to live in diverse neighborhoods. The Ella Jordan African American History Museum is a vibrant, eclectic, educational community center highlighting Black women’s history and a one-of-its kind in Pensacola and the nation. Today, as in the past, travelers have the opportunity to learn and participate in Black history that has had a profound influence on the Pensacola Bay Area and its culture.■

PERDIDO KEY MULTI-USE PATH PROVIDING BETTER CONNECTIVITY THROUGH PERDIDO KEY Escambia County is continuing progress on the eastern portion of the Perdido Key MultiUse Path, which is already providing bicyclists and pedestrians with easier and safer connectivity through Perdido Key. Approximately 2 miles of the 8-foot-wide paved path have been completed along the north side of Perdido Key Drive, with the remaining 2.2 miles expected to be completed by fall 2024. The path will ultimately connect to the previously completed western portion, allowing bicyclists and pedestrians to easily travel 6.5 miles along the path from the Florida-Alabama state line to the Theo Baars Bridge. “Perdido Key is such a beautiful area to get outside and explore, and this multi-use path is making it easier and safer than ever for residents and visitors to enjoy the area’s natural beauty,” District 1 Commissioner Jeff Bergosh said. “The completed portions of the multi-use path are already being well-used every day by pedestrians and bicyclists, and I’m excited to see the completed project connect even more people with the many local businesses, attractions, and recreational opportunities that Perdido Key has to offer.” The Perdido Key Multi-Use Path was identified as a priority in the Perdido Key Master Plan, along with the Florida-Alabama Transportation Planning Organization’s 2018-2022 Pedestrian/

ESCAMBIA COUNTY PURCHASING SELECTED FOR TWO AWARDS The Escambia County Purchasing Department has been selected for two awards by the Central Gulf Coast Chapter of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing, recognizing members of the department’s team for their dedication and leadership. Interim Purchasing Director Lyndsey Stevens was selected as the 2023 Manager of the Year, and Purchasing Coordinator Abigail Raymond was selected as the 2023 Specialist of the Year, which were voted upon by members of the Central Gulf Coast Chapter of the NIGP. Their selection at the chapter level also makes them eligible to submit for awards at the national level, which will be announced at the NIGP annual conference in August. “I’m very proud of the hard work and dedication that our Purchasing team demonstrates every day for Escambia County staff and citizens, and these awards are a testament to Lyndsey and Abigail’s leadership,” County Administrator Wes Moreno said. “After a busy fiscal year 2023 with over $100 million in county projects moving forward, I’m excited to see our Purchasing Department help us continue to complete exciting projects throughout the county and meet our
goals in the year ahead.” Stevens was nominated for her strong leadership and management skills, along with her ability to foster a positive work environment that empowers team members to succeed. Her impact has been especially noticed since assuming the role of Interim Purchasing Director, where she has significantly contributed to the success and efficiency of the Office of Purchasing. Raymond was nominated for her dedication and strong work ethic, particularly in her new volunteer role as the chairperson of the Public Relations & Marketing Committee for the Central Gulf Coast Chapter of the NIGP. In addition to excelling in her regular duties as Purchasing Coordinator, Raymond has used her marketing expertise to elevate the chapter’s social media presence and marketing materials. NIGP has more than 17,300 members representing over 2,600 state and local agencies, with 72 chapters throughout the United States and Canada. To learn more about NIGP, visit nigp.org.

REAL CHANGE PROJECT RECONNECT OFFERS TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE TO HOMELESS Escambia County has launched a new program to offer free transportation assistance to individuals experiencing homelessness who are seeking to reunite with their family, friends, or other support networks. Real Change Project Reconnect is a completely voluntary program that aims to reduce homelessness in Escambia County, while offering resources to those wanting to travel to locations where they have a better support system to help them get back on their feet. Through the program, eligible individuals and families will be provided with a bus or plane ticket to their chosen destination, provided they can demonstrate that family, a job, or support network is in place for them. The Real Change Project Reconnect program is already seeing early success, helping two brothers who were experiencing homelessness and living on the streets of downtown Pensacola for several months. The Pensacola Police Department’s Community Outreach Division was able to connect the brothers with Project Reconnect, which gave them free bus tickets to be reunited with their father in Alabama, where they had housing, family support, and potential job opportunities waiting for them. Although the brothers had previously been offered assistance, they did not express an interest in accepting help until they heard about Real Change Project Reconnect and the opportunity it provided them to reconnect with family support. The following individuals and families may be eligible for Real Change Project Reconnect: • Individuals and families seeking family reunification and housing with their family or other support system. • Individuals and families who have identified employment and need only shortterm social service support to facilitate their transition to the arrival community. • Individuals and families who have affordable permanent housing or other
shelter options awaiting them in a community where they have family or social supports. Escambia County is working with community partners to facilitate the program, which includes an application and screening process to help ensure the travel assistance is provided to individuals who will benefit the most from the program. During the application process, travel options will be evaluated and coordinated with applicants to determine whether bus or plane tickets are the most economical option for their destination. This program is just one part of Escambia County’s ongoing efforts to reduce homelessness in the community, and the county is continuing to work with community partners to strategize additional solutions for those experiencing homelessness. In order to help assess the level of interest in the program, a new question was added to the annual Point in Time Count and Survey in Escambia County, which took place in January 2024. The new survey question asked participants whether they would be interested in transportation assistance for family reunification and/or support. Of the participants who answered the relocation question, approximately 30% indicated that they are interested in transportation assistance. Data from the surveys will help Escambia County connect with those individuals who have expressed an interest in participating in the program. For more information about Project Reconnect and other Escambia County Real Change programs and resources, visit MyEscambia.com/realchange or email homelessness@myescambia.com. Limited funding available. Program participation is subject to funding availability and eligibility requirements. Completing an application does not guarantee transportation assistance.
ESCAMBIA COUNTY EMS OFFERS CPR CLASSES TO THE PUBLIC A new survey conducted by the American Heart Association, which is marking one hundred years of service saving lives, suggests that increased visibility of the need for CPR has had a positive impact on someone’s willingness to respond if they are bystanders in a cardiac emergency. Escambia County Emergency Medical Services offers Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) courses for any Escambia County residents interested in obtaining the knowledge and skills. Students taking part in either course will gain a wealth of knowledge learning the
proper techniques of CPR and usage of the AED. CPR is a life-saving skill that is the only proven skill to make a difference when someone is suffering from cardiac arrest. All courses take place at the Escambia County Public Safety building, located at 6575 North “W” Street, Pensacola, Fla, 32505. Escambia County Emergency Medical Services, a division of the Escambia County Department of Public Safety, is a provider of critical care, advanced life support, basic life support and bariatric transports. EMS provides these services to the over 300,000 residents of Escambia County.

HISTORY OF COMMUNISM BILLS DRAW QUESTIONS
FLAG BILL GETS DESANTIS BACKING, STALLS IN SENATE
RYAN DAILEY NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
RYAN DAILEY NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
TALLAHASSEE — Proposals that could lead to instruction on the history of communism in school grades as low as kindergarten have sparked a debate about whether such lessons are appropriate for young students. Under current state standards, publicschool students do not encounter lessons about communism until seventh grade. But the Senate and House are considering bills (SB 1264 and HB 1349) that could lead to changes. The Republican-controlled Senate Education Pre-K-12 Committee on Tuesday approved the Senate version of the bill, which would create a task force to look at ways to “refine” education about communism, according to the bill sponsor. The proposed task force, which would be housed at the state Department of Education and be made up of members appointed by the governor, would make recommendations “for curriculum standards and instruction on the history of communism for kindergarten through grade 12.” Bill sponsor Jay Collins, R-Tampa, described a wide range of subject matter that would be included in the proposed task force’s recommendations. “It (the bill) goes through, focuses on the history of domestic communist movements, their tactics within the U.S. and abroad, the philosophy and lineage of communism including Marxism, foreign communist movements of the 20th century and the communist socioeconomic policies of Cuba, Venezuela, etc.,” Collins told the committee. The bill drew skepticism from Democrats, in part because of the prospect of instruction on the history of communism in early grades. “What does that particular curriculum look like for our kindergarten students?” Sen. Shevrin Jones, D-Miami Gardens, asked. Collins said the proposal “is not meant as kindergarteners getting curriculum. We’re leaving it broad for the task force to make recommendations on what is age appropriate to utilize the space.” “I don’t think we’re teaching our kindergarteners anything on that right now, nor should we be,” Collins continued. “I do believe that what we can do is look at what we have going on, how it’s addressed and refine that to make sure that it actually meets the standards that are aligned with our values as a state and this nation.” Despite the questions, members of the Senate committee unanimously approved the bill Sen. Rosalind Osgood, D-Fort Lauderdale, said it would bolster history education.
“I believe that all history has value, it is history that gives us our empirical evidence of things that we’ve done well in our best practices, but it also teaches us our lessons learned that we should never repeat,” Osgood said. The House bill would go further than the Senate version by requiring, according to a House staff analysis, that the “history of communism be included in required instruction to public school students in grades K-12.” The change would take effect in the 20262027 school year. House bill sponsor James Buchanan, R-Osprey, described it, in part, as an effort to stave off “the normalization” of communism among public-school students. “I think it’s important, especially K (kindergarten) through 12 (12th grade), that we’re resisting the normalization of some of this theoretical conversation around the abstract of communism,” Buchanan said. Under the House bill, such instruction would have to be “age appropriate and developmentally appropriate” and include lessons on subject matter such as the “increasing threat of communism in the United States and our allies through the 20th Century” and the history of communism in the U.S. The House Choice & Innovation Subcommittee last week voted 11-4 to approve the measure. Like its Senate counterpart, the House bill makes mention of instruction about the “philosophy and lineages” of communism. But the House bill differs from the Senate version by requiring instruction about “cultural Marxism.” The term’s inclusion in the bill sparked questions from Democrats, including Rep. Susan Valdes, D-Tampa. “Cultural Marxism, isn’t that a very politically charged terminology that’s being used?” Valdes asked. “I don’t know, is it?” Buchanan replied. Buchanan also faced a question from Valdes about what instruction about communism would involve for kindergartners. Buchanan pointed to the House bill also calling for creation of a task force. “I think that’s a big rationale for having the task force, working with the Department of Education, developing that … appropriate curriculum for each age group and grade,” Buchanan said. Lawmakers in recent years have passed other measures aimed at bolstering instruction about communism.

10 BIG ISSUES MID-SESSION JIM SAUNDERS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE — Florida’s annual 60-day legislative session reached its halfway point Wednesday. Here are updates on 10 big issues in the session: • BUDGET: The House and Senate have proposed spending plans that top $115 billion for the 2024-2025 fiscal year, which will start July 1. The proposals set the stage for negotiations on a final budget in the coming weeks. Gov. Ron DeSantis proposed a $114.4 billion budget, down from $119.1 billion in the current year. • EDUCATION: The Senate during the first week of the session passed a combination of bills designed to reduce regulations on public schools, a priority of Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, R-Naples. A key issue has been potential changes related to state-mandated exams. House proposals are pending. • HEALTH CARE: In another priority of Passidomo, the Senate passed a wide-ranging plan aimed at increasing the number of physicians in the state and expanding access to health care. For example, it would increase state-funded medical residency slots for new physicians. A similar proposal is moving through the House. • INSURANCE: With homeowners continuing to struggle with increased propertyinsurance rates and losing policies, it remains unclear whether lawmakers will make significant insurance changes. A series of proposals would effectively expand access to coverage through the state’s insurer of last resort, Citizens Property Insurance Corp. • LABOR: The House passed a plan that would loosen work restrictions for 16- and 17-year-olds, such as eliminating a restriction on them working more than 30 hours during a week when school is in session. The Senate is considering a bill that would not go

as far as the House version. For example, it would not include the 30-hour change. LGBTQ ISSUES: After repeated battles in recent years about issues affecting LGBTQ people, bills this year include a House proposal that would require driver’s licenses and identification cards to reflect a person’s sex assigned at birth and impose requirements for health insurers who cover treatments such as hormone therapy for transgender people. MARIJUANA: With voters possibly deciding in November whether to allow recreational use of marijuana, the House and Senate are moving forward with proposals that would impose limits on the amounts of euphoria-inducing THC in pot products. The limits would take effect if a recreational-use constitutional amendment passes. MONUMENTS: House and Senate committees have supported proposals that seek to prevent local governments from removing or destroying historic monuments from public property. The proposals come amid debates in places such as Jacksonville about removing monuments erected to honor the Confederacy. SOCIAL MEDIA: House Speaker Paul Renner, R-Palm Coast, has made a priority of a plan that, in part, seeks to prevent minors under age 16 from creating socialmedia accounts. The House passed the plan, and the Senate has started moving forward with a similar proposal. Renner argues social media harms the mental health of children. TAXES: DeSantis has called for $1.1 billion in tax breaks, including holding six salestax “holidays” on such things as back-toschool items. His proposal also would provide an exemption on certain taxes, fees and assessments on property-insurance policies. Lawmakers will negotiate a tax package alongside the budget.
TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday supported a proposal that would restrict what flags can be flown at schools and other public buildings, as critics of the bill — and Senate analysts — questioned prohibiting flags that represent a “political viewpoint.” The bill (SB 1120), however, stalled, in a Senate committee hours after the governor backed it. Under the bill, government agencies, public schools, colleges and universities would be prohibited from flying any flag that “represents a political viewpoint” including any “politically partisan, racial, sexual orientation and gender, or political ideology viewpoint.” Debate has focused heavily on the potential that it could bar LGBTQ pride flags at public buildings. Answering questions from reporters, DeSantis said he had not seen the bill but signaled that he would back it. “If you take a position that, we’re going to fly the American flag and the state of Florida flag, and that’s it, it’s not targeting anybody. It’s basically saying that we’re not going to get into this business of doing this. So I think that’s totally fine,” the governor said during an appearance in Orange City. “I don’t think you could say, you can fly any flag you want except one or two. Then I think that would be maybe content-based discrimination,” DeSantis added. Hours after DeSantis made the comments, the Senate Governmental Oversight Committee heard from members of the public — most of whom opposed the bill — before adjourning Tuesday evening without voting on the bill. That could put the bill in jeopardy in the Senate midway through the legislative session. “The committee is not scheduled to meet again,” Katie Betta, a spokeswoman for Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, R-Naples, said in an email. “If a bill remains in a committee that is no longer meeting, it is procedurally very difficult for the issue to advance.” Members of the LGBTQ-advocacy group Equality Florida were among opponents who spoke against the measure, arguing it singles out LGBTQ people by banning pride flags. Sen. Tina Polsky, D-Boca Raton, pointed
to the measure barring flags that would represent a “political viewpoint.” She argued that prohibitions listed in the bill involve groups of people, not inherently political viewpoints. “Race, gender, sexual orientation, religion are not political unto themselves. So, we should be as inclusive as possible. Not exclusive,” Polsky said. Polsky also questioned bill sponsor Jonathan Martin, R-Fort Myers, about whether flags of other countries would be prohibited at public buildings. “Other flags of other countries, let’s say somebody is visiting the city of Fort Lauderdale, and you put up a foreign nation’s flag to welcome them to come. These days that could be potentially political. So, if they flew the Israeli flag and someone complained, would that be political? And who gets to make that decision?” Polsky asked. “That’s not covered in this bill, but I’m happy to discuss an amendment with you, to make sure that we can honor our friends who are visiting from other countries,” Martin replied. A Senate staff analysis of the bill released before the meeting also appeared to point to potential confusion about what would actually be prohibited. “While the bill provides examples of what represents a ‘political viewpoint’ for purposes of the bill, it does not define the term. Similarly, while the bill clearly regulates governmental speech, which is not limited by First Amendment regulations, it is unclear where government speech (or that undertaken by a ‘governmental entity’) ends and private speech begins for purposes of this regulation,” the analysis said. The analysis provided multiple examples of the proposal’s potential gray area about the line between public and private speech, including a scenario in which a “universityapproved French club may be uncertain of the legality of its display of the flag of France at its club meetings on university property.” The proposal stalled in the Senate committee for the second time. Chairman Bryan Avila, R-Miami Springs, adjourned a meeting last week before a vote was taken. A similar House bill (HB 901) needs approval from the State Affairs Committee before it could go before the full House.
SENATORS OK POT POTENCY LIMITS DARA KAM NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE — A key Senate committee Tuesday signed off on a bill that would impose limits on the amounts of euphoriainducing THC in pot products if voters pass a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow recreational marijuana. Lawmakers are considering pot potency limits as the Florida Supreme Court weighs whether the proposed amendment meets legal requirements to go on the November ballot. The Senate Health Policy Committee approved the bill (SB 7050), which would cap THC in smokable marijuana at 30 percent; impose caps of 60 percent on other products, including pre-filled vape cartridges for inhalation; and limit edibles to 15 milligrams of THC for each “single serving portion,” with a total cap of 200 mg of THC. Under changes adopted by the committee, edibles could have a potency variance of up to 15 percent. Committee Chairwoman Colleen Burton, R-Lakeland, said the bill is aimed at beginning to create a separate regulatory structure for recreational marijuana, should the amendment be placed on the ballot and be approved. The proposed potency restrictions would only apply to products being sold for recreational use, not medical marijuana. “This is setting the stage and recognizing that should the amendment pass … that we will continue to have a medical-marijuana market and we will have a personal-use (recreational) market,” Burton said before the Republican-controlled committee approved the bill in a 7-3 vote along party lines. The House Healthcare Regulation Subcommittee last week approved a similar measure (HB 1269) that does not contain the potency variance for edibles. Critics of the proposed caps have argued that the restrictions are premature. “I think we’re putting the cart before the horse and putting this in front of the ballot initiative that may or may not pass,” Sen. Tracie Davis, D-Jacksonville, said before voting against the measure Tuesday. The state’s medical-marijuana operators and other cannabis proponents also
oppose the caps. Trulieve, the state’s largest medicalmarijuana operator, has contributed more than $40 million to the Smart & Safe Florida political committee seeking to put the recreational-use proposal before voters. The marijuana company has given all but $124.58 of the money collected by the committee since the initiative’s launch in 2022. The ballot proposal, in part, would authorize “adult personal use of marijuana” for adults ages 21 and older and permit the state’s currently licensed medical-marijuana operators “and other state licensed entities” to participate in the recreational-pot industry. The proposed caps could result in a major disparity in potency levels between the recreational and medicinal pot programs. The vast majority of smokable flower products currently sold by Florida’s medicalmarijuana operators have less than 30 percent THC, which would largely be in line with the proposed cap for recreational products. But other products — including vape cartridges, for inhaling — currently for sale have potency levels far higher than the 60 percent cap included in the legislative plans. More than 870,000 patients are registered for the state’s medical-use program, which launched after voters approved a 2016 constitutional amendment broadly authorizing medical marijuana. Patients’ costs for the program can be expensive. Eligible patients must pay the Department of Health $75 per year for a medical-marijuana identification card, and they also have to pay doctors up to $400 annually to certify that they are eligible for cannabis treatment. Burton said Tuesday that lawmakers would have to lay out a more robust regulatory framework for a recreational-pot program if the constitutional amendment passes. “We will come back, and we will have a starting place at least to begin regulation,” she told reporters after the meeting. “We have an idea today what is available in the medical-marijuana market. So we have a starting point that keeps recreational marijuana at lower potency and equal or lower potency to what is currently available in medical marijuana.”
