"What really stinks is politicians lying to Florida voters about the realities of living in a state with more individual freedom and safer communities. Amendment 3 will put an end to arrests for simple marijuana possession, give adults the right to make their own choices, and provide Floridians access to safe, tested products. Smells pretty good to me." - Morgan Hill, spokesperson for Smart & Safe Florida, in support of Amendment 3 (Learn more)
It's basically a license to have it anywhere you want. So no time, place and manner restrictions, this state will start to smell like marijuana in our cities and towns." - Gov. Ron Desantis (R), in opposition to Amendment 3 (Learn more)
"As we travel the country, we see the benefits of adult use and as Florida residents we love the ‘freedom state' moniker and believe that Florida needs to join the millions of Americans whose adults are free to use cannabis without fear of being incarcerated." - The Bellamy Brothers, in support of Amendment 3 (Learn more)
"Regardless of how someone feels about abortion or marijuana, I don't believe that those issues should be resolved in the state constitution. I think when you ensconce abortion policy or marijuana policy in the constitution you limit the ability to appropriately tailor policy to evolving circumstances and evolving technologies" - Rep. Matt Gaetz (R), in opposition to Amendment 3 (Learn more)
Adult Personal Use of Marijuana Allows 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; allows Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers, and other state licensed entities, to acquire, cultivate, process, manufacture, sell, and distribute such products and accessories. Applies to Florida law; does not change, or immunize violations of, federal law. Establishes possession limits for personal use. Allows consistent legislation. Defines terms. Provides effective date. The amendment's financial impact primarily comes from expected sales tax collections. If legal today, sales of non-medical marijuana would be subject to sales tax and would remain so if voters approve this amendment. Based on other states' experiences, expected retail sales of non-medical marijuana would generate at least $195.6 million annually in state and local sales tax revenues once the retail market is fully operational, although the timing of this occurring is unclear. Under current law, the existing statutory framework for medical marijuana is repealed six months after the effective date of this amendment which affects how this amendment will be implemented. A new regulatory structure for both medical and nonmedical use of marijuana will be needed. Its design cannot be fully known until the legislature acts; however, regulatory costs will probably be offset by regulatory fees. Other potential costs and savings cannot be predicted. THIS PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT IS ESTIMATED TO HAVE A NET POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE STATE BUDGET. THIS IMPACT MAY RESULT IN GENERATING ADDITIONAL REVENUE OR AN INCREASE IN GOVERNMENT SERVICES.
