    But in June, when DeSantis was presented with a bill that would have imposed a similar hemp ban, he vetoed it. In the following weeks, CBS reported on text messages that showed hemp executives—whose lobbyists also have deep ties to Florida Republicans—rallying around DeSantis and pledging $5 million to the Florida Republican Party. Those messages showed that in turn, the state GOP would use that money to fight Amendment 3. “We know nothing in life is free and neither was this veto,” said an introductory post in a WhatsApp message group called Save Florida Hemp.
    .....
    His office has real-time access to this list … and is seeing these names and every contribution,” one hemp executive posted in the WhatsApp group.
    DeSantis’ office has denied there was any deal regarding the veto. It also denied monitoring contributions from the hemp industry. He has said he vetoed the hemp-ban bill because it would “impose debilitating regulatory burdens on small businesses.”

    interesting that it stands as a reliable test or does have to be part of a series of tests? Like a piece of the puzzle

    You convinced me. I was on the fence and voted no. It’s legal for “medical purposes” which is good. And I get it’s super-easy to get a medical card.

    I am referring to Hillsborough County DUIs here. It's (HGN) invariably the first one they administer. If the suspect performs well on it, they might even end the DUI investigation there. Next is generally the walk and turn test (heel to toe) followed by the one leg stand. Many stop there. You still see some finger to nose. I haven't seen them use Romberg Alphabet or counting backwards in eons.

    Go watch some BUI (boating) videos on YouTube. They are doing some crazy hand FSEs.

    In Florida’s Weed Wars, Griffin and DeSantis Clash With Trump and ‘Pot Daddy’

    In Florida’s weed wars, the big money is going against Governor Ron DeSantis and the financier of his anti-cannabis crusade, billionaire Ken Griffin.

    The Citadel founder has funded about half of the campaign against a referendum on legalizing recreational marijuana in Florida — or $12 million. DeSantis’ efforts to secure more money have fizzled.

    That total pales in comparison with the $153 million the cannabis industry has poured into the ballot initiative, known as Amendment 3. The most recent polling shows 60% or more of Florida voters support the proposition, just enough to pass on Tuesday.
