Sheriff Young from Gadsen County supports Amendment 3 while 65 other sheriffs strongly oppose. Young claims regulation would elimiate fentanyl poisoning yet there are no documented cases that he is willing to release to back-up his claims.

Young has referenced a mass fentanyl poisoning blamed for at least six deaths in Gadsden County as being linked to fentanyl-laced marijuana, but his office declined to release records related to the case, citing an ongoing investigation.
