The revamped proposal from the Smart & Safe Florida committee seeks to address issues raised by Gov. Ron DeSantis, who led a drive to defeat last year's constitutional measure.
The article from WLRN discusses a new proposal for legalizing recreational marijuana in Florida, set to appear on the 2026 ballot. This initiative, spearheaded by the group "Sensible Florida," aims to amend the state's constitution to allow adults 21 and older to possess, use, and purchase marijuana for recreational purposes. The proposal includes regulations on cultivation, sales, and taxation, with a focus on social equity and reinvestment in communities disproportionately affected by previous marijuana laws. Key points include expungement of past cannabis convictions, a framework for licensing, and a tax structure where revenue would fund education, mental health services, and substance abuse treatment. The campaign is gathering signatures to meet the requirement for ballot placement, facing opposition from some conservative groups and potential legal challenges regarding the amendment's language and implications.
