flag Florida advances bill banning public marijuana smoking and vaping, targeting parks and beaches.

flag Florida lawmakers have advanced SB 986, a bill banning marijuana smoking or vaping in public spaces like parks, beaches, and shared areas, after a broader version failed last year. flag The Senate committee approved it unanimously, citing public health and preparation for potential future adult-use legalization. flag The bill targets public areas, not private homes, and aims to extend clean air laws to cannabis. flag Business groups support the focus on public health but worry about the definition of “public places.” Medical marijuana advocates caution it may infringe on rights of Florida’s 900,000 registered patients. flag The bill now moves to the next Senate committee, as the state debates marijuana regulation amid growing legalization momentum.
