"1.8 MILLION PEOPLE IN FLORIDA PURCHASE MARIJUANA FROM THE ILLICIT MARKET" - Smart and Safe Florida 

"According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, recreational cannabis legalization has not been associated with any increase in adolescent marijuana use and has been associated with a decrease in adolescent alcohol and e-cigarette use.[2] Additionally, in Colorado, the first state to allow recreational cannabis sales to adults in 2013, youth marijuana use has decreased significantly since 2013." - Smart and Safe Florida

"As a Floridian, I will be voting YES on Amendment 3 this November" - President Donald J. Trump

"I fought for and passed a law in Florida to let local governments ban cigarette smoking on our public beaches.  Once Amendment 3 passes, I will once again champion these same limits for marijuana.  I support letting adults have the freedom to possess or consume limited amount of marijuana but know that those who choose not to smoke it, don’t want to smell it.  Let’s pass this common-sense amendment and help keep Florida the true Freedom State!” - Former Republican Florida State Senator Brandes 

"When Amendment 3 passes, adults who choose to consume marijuana will be safer as a result because simple cannabis products, legally purchased won’t contain those dangerous additives. My deputies won’t have to spend our limited resources on arresting or otherwise prosecuting adults for simply possessing or consuming small amounts of marijuana. This will allow us to focus on preventing serious violent crimes or crimes involving deadly drugs like cocaine, fentanyl and meth.” - Sheriff Morris Young, Gadsden County

           Marijuana has a ridiculous quantity of medical & practical applications with benefits too abundant to ignore. As a resident to Florida originally from California, it is disappointing that you must go to a doctor and get a marijuana card approved by the state, to then follow up with paying hundreds of dollars to the state and a doctor visits, who must be certified and in some cases even not willing to see me. I completely support the vote for Amendment 3 on the Florida state ballot, Marijuana Legalization Initiative in November 2024.
