While the nation is anxiously waiting to see who will be the next president, Florida is watching six constitutional amendments.

Amendment 3 failed in Florida. Here's why, what kind of THC products are still legal in the state and the difference between delta 8 and delta 9 THC.

Amendment 3 was not backed by at least 60% of Florida voters, meaning that recreational marijuana use will remain illegal in the state.

A 60% super-majority of votes is required to amend Florida's constitution. Amendment 3, which would have allowed recreational marijuana for adults 21 and older, fell short of that at 55.9%. “I'm a little surprised that it didn't pass. A little disappointed,” said Roger Brown, President of ACS Laboratory.

The ballot measure's defeat could strengthen the industry as it struggles to compete with hemp-based products sold at gas stations, CBD shops and online at a fraction of the cost.

Now that the amendment has failed, here’s what to know about Amendment 3 and marijuana in Florida. Amendment 3 would have allowed adults 21 and older to buy and use up to three ounces of marijuana.

Florida voters will see recreational marijuana on the ballot in Florida as an initiated constitutional amendment , known as Amendment 3, on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Amendment 3 seeks to legalize recreational marijuana, allowing those 21 and older to have up to 3 ounces and up to 5 grams of cannabis concentrate.

Florida voters rejected a ballot measure that would have legalized recreational marijuana for adults at least 21 years old and allowed them to possess up to 3 ounces of marijuana.

In Florida, constitutional amendments need at least 60% of the vote to be adopted. Amendment 3, which would have allowed people 21 and older to use marijuana without any medical reason, got about 56% of the vote.
