If passed, the initiative would allow adult Floridians (ages 21+) to use cannabis products for personal consumption.
The Florida Supreme Court will process briefs for the amendment from opponents by June 12th.
If the court approves the proposal, it will appear on the General Election in 2024. It has to win the support of at least 60 percent of Florida voters across the state in order to become part of the Florida Constitution.
