Reefer madness rears its head in the Tallahassee as lawmakers gather ammunition to fight efforts to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in the Sunshine State.

 Also, on today’s Sunrise:

— A House committee passes state Rep. Cary Pigman’s bill that would allow Advanced Practice Registered Nurses to work without a doctor’s supervision. He’s been trying to pass that bill since 2014, and because of term-limits, it’s his last shot.

— A deep dive into the state’s program to combat invasive aquatic plants. They’re trying to find some way to stop using herbicides that don’t break the bank.

— More Florida Man insanity: A 56-year-old Polk County resident — and Disney security guard — showed up in the nude to meet what he thought was a hooker. It wasn’t. It was Operation Santa’s Naughty List by the Polk County Sheriff’s Department, and the whole encounter is now on video.
