From how the ballot initiative is polling to the epic fight for and against cannabis legalization in the Sunshine State
The results of these ballot measures obviously matter to residents of each state, but they also will be telling for the future of the cannabis legalization movement
Gov. Ron DeSantis travels the state trying to persuade undecided voters to oppose legalizing recreational cannabis in Florida
Recent polls show the measure getting the 60%+ required for the legal use of recreational cannabis
The debate grew contentious for a few moments when Tampa hemp entrepreneur Shai Ortiz claimed DeSantis had been paid $200,000 by Smart & Safe Florida
As for the public, nationwide, 87% of Democrats, 70% of independents, and 55% of Republicans support legalization
“Trump’s statement on Truth Social signals that there is a political realignment that is well underway on the issue of cannabis reform.”
“We will continue to focus on research to unlock the medical uses of marijuana to a Schedule 3 drug.”
“I’ve heard that talking point [by critics] long before DeSantis even chose to inject himself into the whole Amendment 3 and hemp industry battle.”
“These valuable resources will help us as we continue to ramp up what will be a vigorous and full-throated campaign to warn Floridians about this deceptive amendment.”
