Florida Considers Legalizing Recreational Marijuana Through Amendment 3 in November

Jul 11, 2024, 10:47 AM

Florida is considering the legalization of recreational marijuana through Amendment 3, which will be on the ballot in November. The Libertarian Party of Florida has endorsed the measure, and Trulieve, a major cannabis company, has contributed another $1 million to the campaign supporting it. Last year, Florida prosecutors filed over 66,000 charges for possession of small amounts of marijuana. However, if Amendment 3 passes, it will not clear the records of those previously arrested for marijuana-related offenses. The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida is advocating for the end of the drug war and supports the legalization initiative.
