On Nov. 5, Florida residents won’t just be voting for president. They will also be deciding whether to legalize recreational marijuana, expand abortion protections and more. They each would need 60% of the vote to pass.

TAMPA, Fla. - The laws on recreational marijuana is what Amendment 3 is all about. Supporters are pushing for Floridians to have the right to use marijuana for recreational purposes. But those urging Floridians to "just say no" insist the amendment runs the risk of filling the coffers of big corporations eager to cash in on state licenses.

Public opinion on Florida marijuana Amendment 3 is divided as voters weigh legalization's economic benefits against public safety concerns.

Amendment 3, the ballot initiative that would legalize marijuana for adults in Florida, is getting support from some unexpected places.

Enshrining abortion rights in Florida’s constitution and allowing the use of recreational marijuana are two of six amendments on the ballot this year. Both, so far, have the support of the majority of Florida voters if recent amendment polls are to be believed.

This election season, the two most expensive ballot initiatives in the country are in Florida. Supporters of the campaigns to expand abortion access and to legalize recreational marijuana have contributed more than $178 million since summer 2022.

Florida voters will weigh in on Amendment 3 this November, a proposal that would legalize recreational marijuana for adults aged 21 and older.
