Florida Supreme Court Quashes 2022 Recreational-Marijuana Legalization Push
It seems Florida won't be part of the recent recreational-marijuana legalization wave anytime soon. On Thursday, the state's Supreme Court, asked for advice on the matter by Attorney General Ashley Moody, judged that a proposal to put such legalization on the ballot for Election Day 2022 is "misleading." This likely means that the initiative, spearheaded by a group called Make it Legal Florida, will not be allowed on the ballot.
The proposal put forth by the group had garnered over 556,000 signatures of support out of the 891,589 needed for ballot inclusion. It aimed to legalize recreational marijuana, allowing Floridians over 21 years of age to hold and use up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis.
The organization has not yet officially commented on the ruling.
