Adult Personal Use of Marijuana

The 2024 Florida marijuana legalization initiative, officially titled "Adult Personal Use of Marijuana" (Florida initiative 22-05), is a voter initiative that will appear on the 2024 ballot, if no successful legal challenge is brought. It would amend the state constitution to legalize cannabis in the state of Florida.[1]

History

The initiative was registered with authorities around August 2022 for signature collection and assigned initiative number 22-05. To qualify for the ballot, 891,589 valid signatures were required. By December 1, 2022, it had gotten 53,982 signatures.[2] With 294,037 validated signatures by early 2023, an automatic state supreme court legal review was triggered.[3][4] 635,961 signatures were validated by the Florida Secretary of State as of April 4,[5] and there were 841,130 validated signatures by May 1.[6] Around June 1, the Florida Division of Elections validated 967,528 signatures – enough for the measure to qualify for the 2024 ballot.[7][8]
