The straight dope on Amendment 3

Made with Chat GPT

With Florida’s recreational pot proposal, Amendment 3, polling at over 60%, we explore the pro and cons of legalizing marijuana with people representing all sides of the debate.

Guests:

  • Marla D. Golden, dean of the Osteopathic Medicine Program, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine South Georgia campus.
  • Sally Peebles, cannabis attorney, partner in Vicente LLP's Florida office.
  • Will Jones III, director of community engagement and outreach, Smart Approaches to Marijuana.

Then, our election coverage continues with Jacksonville Beach mayoral candidate Georgette Dumont. She explains why she’s challenging the incumbent and takes your calls and questions.

(Dumont’s opponent, incumbent Jacksonville Beach Mayor Christine Hoffman, appeared on FCC on Thursday.)

And, a closer look at the Puzzle Project happening this weekend in Atlantic Beach: Hotel Palms owner Greg Schwartzenberger and artist Lucas Beaufort share the creative challenges of painting 30 canvases, each contributing to a larger collaborative artwork, all in front of a live audience.
