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

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.

Nearly 56 percent of Florida voters supported a measure that would have allowed recreational use of marijuana for adults, but that wasn’t enough to push the proposed constitutional amendment over the finish line.

Despite receiving a majority of "yes" votes, Florida's Amendment 3 failed to pass. Here's why, how state now compares to the rest of the country.

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.

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 election results in the 2024 Presidential Election started to come in as soon as the polls closed on Election Day, and Amendment 3 on marijuana garnered much of the attention nationwide. So, did Florida voters pass the proposed amendment to allow adults to legally smoke marijuana?
