Florida to Vote on Recreational Marijuana in November, State Supreme Court Rules

If 60 percent or more of Floridians vote for the measure, it will enshrine possession and retail sales of ‘adult use’ marijuana in the state constitution.

A constitutional amendment to legalize recreational, or “adult use,” marijuana in Florida will appear on the November ballot, the state Supreme Court ruled on April 1.

Florida’s Amendment 3, titled “Adult Personal Use of Marijuana,” would allow adults 21 years or older to “possess, purchase, or use marijuana products and marijuana accessories for non-medical personal consumption by smoking, ingestion, or otherwise,” and enshrine this access in the state constitution.
