Billionaire hedge fund CEO Ken Griffin is making a significant financial commitment to oppose the legalization of recreational marijuana in Florida. Griffin, who is also the CEO of Citadel and a donor to Governor Ron DeSantis, has pledged $12 million to the 'No on 3' campaign. This donation is part of a larger $20 million that Griffin has committed to spend in Florida this election season. Griffin's opposition to Amendment 3, which he describes as a 'terrible plan to create the nation’s most expansive and destructive marijuana laws,' underscores his strong stance against the proposed legislation on the November ballot.
