Florida Amendment 3: Legalizing Recreational Marijuana

Florida Amendment 3: Legalizing Recreational Marijuana
ORIGIN: Citizen Initiative
SUMMARY: This amendment will open the door to recreational marijuana legalization, including production, distribution, and possession. No clear guidelines for law enforcement are provided, provided, leading many law enforcement leaders to oppose the amendment.
Additionally, the amendment creates a semi-monopoly for a handful of pharmaceutical companies to control the entire production process and places the Florida Constitution in direct conflict with federal drug laws. The devastating effects of recreational marijuana use include impaired educational learning, threats to workplace safety, and excessive pollution in public places. The damage seen in other states that have legalized recreational marijuana is well documented, including increased addiction and crime, severe harm to marriages and families, decreased workforce productivity, and a rise in illegal black market activity from consumers seeking less expensive marijuana sources.
We fully recommend a NO vote to ensure that Florida continues to be a family and business-friendly state unpolluted by a widespread and poorly regulated recreational drug industry. For more information, visit
