Florida gets Recreational Vote

The Florida Supreme Court has given the green light for a recreational marijuana constitutional amendment to appear on the statewide ballot in November 2024. If approved by at least 60% of Floridians, this proposed amendment would allow individuals 21 years or older to possess, purchase, or use marijuana products and accessories for non-medical personal consumption through smoking, ingestion, or other means. Additionally, it would permit medical marijuana treatment centers and other state-licensed entities to acquire, cultivate, process, manufacture, sell, and distribute such products and accessories².

This decision comes amidst a backdrop of political dynamics, as Democrats aim to gain electoral ground in a state where they have historically faced challenges. Notably, the state attorney general’s office and many Republicans oppose this measure. However, the court found that the proposed amendment meets the requirements for constitutionality and clarity, allowing it to proceed to the ballot².

So, Floridians will have the opportunity to cast their votes on whether to embrace recreational marijuana in the Sunshine State. It’s a significant moment, and the outcome will shape Florida’s approach to cannabis use moving forward³.
