Florida’s Cannabis Initiative Defeated: Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers, NFL’s Ricky Williams And Others Respond
Florida’s cannabis legalization initiative, Amendment 3 (AM3), failed to pass on Tuesday despite gaining a majority of the vote. The initiative achieved 55.8% support although a constitutional amendment in Florida needs to garner 60% of the vote to be adopted.
Backed by cannabis advocates and public figures like former President Donald Trump, the amendment faced persistent opposition from Governor Ron DeSantis and Florida’s Republican Party, among other cannabis prohibition groups.
With a total of 5,941,050 in favor and 4,688,829 votes against, the amendment was defeated.
Kim Rivers, CEO of Trulieve (OTCQX:TCNNF) wrote in X account that she was “Proud to have fought the fight – we left it all on the field.”
