In November, voters in Florida will decide on a citizen-initiated constitutional amendment, Amendment 3, to legalize marijuana. The final step was for the amendment to receive approval from the Florida Supreme Court, which occurred on April 1. The campaign submitted enough signatures to meet the state’s requirement of 891,523.
Smart & Safe Florida is leading the campaign in support of Amendment 3, which would legalize marijuana for persons aged 21 and older and allow individuals to possess up to three ounces of marijuana.
Before the Florida Supreme Court, Attorney General Ashley Moody (R) challenged the initiative as unconstitutional and having misleading ballot language. Florida is the only state that requires a court to review the ballot language during or after the signature collection for initiatives.
