Title: Poarch Creek tribe may sell weed if Florida denies Jax gambling deal
Post by: thelakelander on February 21, 2015, 12:53:53 AM
QuotePENSACOLA, Fla. — At a rural crossroads in northwest Florida, the state may encounter a tough choice in its ongoing debate over the future of gambling.
It's here — amid mobile homes, cow pastures and cotton fields near the Alabama-Florida line — that a small, Alabama-based Indian tribe wants to expand its gambling operations into the Sunshine State.

Rebuffed so far by Gov. Rick Scott, the Poarch Creek Band of Indians is suggesting it might adopt a hardball negotiating stance: Let us offer gambling in a few Florida locations, or we could consider growing and selling marijuana on our property.

Regency Square Mall would be a great location for Vegas style casino.  Best Bet has already improved that area.

Yep. As far as weed goes, it's only a matter of time before it's legal anyway.
