2024 Florida Amendment 3

Florida Amendment 3, officially titled "Adult Personal Use of Marijuana" (Florida initiative 22-05), is a voter initiative that will appear on the 2024 ballot. It would amend the state constitution to legalize cannabis in the state of Florida.

The initiative was registered with authorities around August 2022 for signature collection and assigned initiative number 22-05. To qualify for the ballot, 891,589 valid signatures were required. By December 1, 2022, it had gotten 53,982 signatures. With 294,037 validated signatures by early 2023, an automatic state supreme court legal review was triggered. 635,961 signatures were validated by the Florida Secretary of State as of April 4, and there were 841,130 validated signatures by May 1. Around June 1, the Florida Division of Elections validated 967,528 signatures – enough for the measure to qualify for the 2024 ballot. The Florida Supreme Court issued a ruling on April 1, 2024 that the initiative would appear on the November general ballot.
