'Wake up': Dave Portnoy backs Florida's recreational pot measure, riling conservatives online

It’s about freedom.’

Dave Portnoy likes football, pizza and pot. One of those things is largely illegal in the Sunshine State, but shouldn’t be, he said.

Portnoy took to X over the weekend to voice support for Amendment 3. If approved by 60% of Florida voters in November, the measure will essentially legalize recreational pot in the state for people 21 and older.

He laid out his case in a roughly one-minute video Sunday, which by Monday afternoon had close to 16 million views, 73,000 likes, 5,800 shares and 5,400 comments.

“Listen, it’s Sunday afternoon, football on TV, pizza on the way in Massachusetts — smoking a little weed, just enjoying my day. Florida, you can’t do this. In my Miami house, you can’t do this. Why?” Portnoy said while repeatedly blowing smoke from a joint into the camera.
