No fooling: April 1 is deadline for Florida Supreme Court decisions on marijuana, abortion amendments
The Florida Supreme Court must make a consequential decision between now and Monday, April 1, on whether to allow two significant ballot initiatives on the November 2024 ballot.
If approved by voters, one of the proposed constitutional amendments would allow the sale and possession of recreational marijuana, a move that would rapidly be embraced by the states already established medical marijuana industry. One of Floridas dominant medical marijuana companies, Trulieve, donated more than $40 million to finance the effort to get the measure on the ballot.
The courts review is centered around whether the amendment sticks to a single subject and if the ballot summary and title are misleading.
Attorney General Ashley Moody asked the court to block the marijuana amendment from the ballot, but the scope of questions during the Supreme Court hearing suggested that several Justices were skeptical of her reasoning.
