TAMPA, Fla. _ No one knows how big a problem marijuana is on Florida's roads.
The state can't say how many marijuana-related crashes there have been, or how many have died because of them. It doesn't keep that kind of data.
But as lawmakers rolled out the state's medical marijuana system last year, they also funded a $5 million campaign to warn Floridians it's dangerous and illegal to drive while high.
It's called "Drive Baked, Get Busted." And like legalization itself, it has become a flashpoint.
State Sen. Rob Bradley, R�Fleming Island, who sponsored the 2017 medical marijuana bill, said its goal is to make it clear to medicinal users that _ just as with alcohol _ they can be arrested for driving while impaired.
"The ad makes it clear that a medical marijuana card is not a get-out-of-jail-free card if you're driving impaired," he said.
Florida for Care executive director Ben Pollara, whose group campaigned for the 2016 constitutional amendment that legalized medical cannabis, said "Drive Baked, Get Busted" isn't an education campaign _ it's an anti-marijuana campaign:
"It's high drama, low information," designed to shake people up, Pollara said.
