    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.”
