The former president doubled down on his position on Florida’s Marijuana Legalization Initiative, Amendment 3, set to appear on the November ballot, which would grant adults of 21 years old and over the right to possess, purchase or use cannabis products.
While medical cannabis is already legal in the Sunshine State, a “yes” vote for Florida Amendment 3 would legalise the Schedule I drug for recreational purposes, allowing for the possession of up to three grams. Growing the plant would still be illegal even if the amendment was passed.
Under current legislation, possession of up to 20 grams of the drug is considered a misdemeanour offence and is punishable by up to a year in prison. Prosecutors filed more than 16,000 charges against people for possession of small amounts of cannabis in Florida last year.
