One marijuana company keeps coming up in the recent Florida matters with Gaetz. It's called Trulieve. Here ya go:
1. DeSantis signed the first bill of his administration into law in March, 2019, lifting a ban on the sale of smokable medical marijuana by licensed dispensaries.

2. Trulieve became the first to legally offer smokable medical marijuana flower, selling the product at its dispensary in Tallahassee. It is owned by Halsey Beshears' family, the former DeSantis DBPR secretary who is apparently third republican involved in Gaetz sex
trafficking investigation.
3. Trulieve has high paid lobbyists in Washington DC and Tallahassee from Ballard Partners including Brian Ballard, Chris Dorworth (until yesterday) and Sylvester Lukis.
4. Dorworth is buddies with Beshears, Gaetz, Greenberg and Pirozzolo.

8. On March 29, 2021 DeSantis announced he opposed caps on THC for medical cannabis.
9. BTW, Gaetz is a huge proponent of medical cannabis as is Greenberg and Pirozzolo.
Who knows maybe this is all a coincidence. In any event, Trulieve stock is killing it!!

The stock price has more than doubled over last year.
I'm sorry. Quadrupled
Here is link to federal lobbying by Trulieve by Ballard Partners lobbying congressmen including Matt Gaetz. https://projects.propublica.org/represent/lobbying/301016479
Apparently when asked how Sylvester Lukis, who is the managing partner of Ballard Partners' firm in DC, could have his son serve as DeSantis' chief of staff, Ballard Partners said Sylvester doesn't lobby in Tallahassee. Hmmmm. Sounds kosher.
Trulieve apparently has over 50% market share of medical marijuana business in Florida
Maybe it's not a coincidence. Trulieve's CEO blocked me minutes after I posted this thread. Weird.
Blocked.
