Although Florida’s initiative to legalise marijuana has failed to achieve full voter support for legalisation, a recent poll indicates strong two-party voter backing of reform – providing positive signals about campaign efforts pushing a revised proposal of reform for Marihuany law reform before election time.
Sondaz University of North Florida (UNF), published yesterday, revealed that 67% of Florida voters favor legalizing cannabis; this includes 82% Democrats (66% non-legals and 55% Republikanow).
Smart & Safe Florida, proposing Indian community co-ops during last November’s elections in Florida, received more than 60% support but failed to achieve the required 60% threshold of voter endorsement necessary to implement constitutional fixes to gloss elections according to state law.
New research indicates, however, that changing politics has received more support than needed to overcome hurdles, with campaigns working toward embedding changed legalization systems ahead of elections in 2026.
„Marihuana use has long been legal in Florida for recreational and medical use; therefore its inclusion as part of Amendment 3 was quite unexpected”. Thus said Michael Binder from UNF’s Public Opinion Research Lab (PORL).
„When polled likely wyborcow during November last year, 66% responded in agreement that voting will likely go forward”, stated Powiedzial. If not for oppositional campaigns investing millions of dollars to swing races „This stream would likely run dry”.
Demographic groups evaluated by an anketry expressed support for legalization across all demographic subsets considered, with individuals who supported President Donald Trump at recent elections showing increased support (53%). Trump first came into public view following support for an ineffective marijuana legislation law from 2024 during election campaigns and campaigns, earning his presence front page coverage during campaigns – though many considered this move by him illegitimate and controversial.
Study involved interviews with 871 registered Floridian voters during 5-14 February with an error margin of +/-3,7 percentage point.
Recent results are inconsistent with a survey conducted by Florida Chamber of Commerce, an active opponent to legalization, which showed widespread support (53% in favor of reform among likely electors, yet insufficient to meet requirements of 60%.
This figure compares favourably with results of recent elections, in which 56 percent favored legalizing cannabis legislation. Izba Handlowa confirmed this result as evidence for its „continuous effort at building momentum for this policy”.
Florydy Governor Ron DeSantis (R) stated last month that his legalization initiative has „two loops” with regard to serving on the Supreme Court, thus foreshadowing that its passage will likely be blocked during future election cycles.
DeSantis stated, „there exist multiple points of views regarding marijuana” which he stated shouldn’t have any place in our constitution. If someone holds strong views regarding this issue then I strongly encourage them to participate in legislative elections by choosing candidates who can help realize your visions”.
„But when Mr. Pan placed these matters within his constitution – and, more particularly, its terms of writing – many different events took place simultaneously in various sections – it seems there would have been severe difficulty crossing over to Florida” said Powedzial.
In 2015, Governor Precourt accurately anticipated that Marihuana Legalisation Campaign 2024 is currently facing legal challenges from Procuratorate of General. Unfortunately it remains unclear as to why different versions have produced different results.
Smart & Safe Florida introduced changes in its 2026 version which appear to respond to critical remarks made about it during their 2024 campaign.
By way of illustration, it has now been very clearly established that „any public place prohibits cultivation and consumption of marijuana”. Further confirmation was offered through another segment which stipulated a lawmaker had to approve regulations concerning time, place and manner public marijuana consumption.
Recent legislation was issued that clarifies and prohibits sales of marihuana-related products that may attract children for sale.
At its latest version, it was clearly established that no statute prohibited law-makers from authorizing home cultivation of marihuana by adults for private and systematic regulation – an assurance which may ease concerns among supporters who previously noted an absence of domestic cultivation options in initial proposals.
Initiative would ensure medical marijuana operators who had obtained licences by January 1 2025 could begin selling to adults at birth date.
No one knows for certain whether these changes could have any lasting effect, even if eventually qualifying the party to vote in 2026 – in what would likely be local elections where conservative voters may far outnumber liberal ones; yet their campaign remains confident it can win out over time.

One Florydian Republican senator asserted recently, however, that legalization efforts „trapped” President Trump so as to support 2024 budgetary plans while informing public opinion of key laws and introducing them into society at large.
Prior to the elections, Donald Trump stated in March that in his opinion Poprwka 3 „would be extremely beneficial to our state”. To back his opinion up he met both Trulieve’s General Director Kim Rivers as well as Republican senator Richard Burr who promote reformes as soon as these comments surfaced.
As President Trump proposed initiatives related to Indian gambling in Florida and federal changes that included harmonogram adjustments and accessing bank banking facilities he has since shown great discomfort regarding these matters; his chosen cabinet members often share differing perspectives when discussing marihuana policy.
CRS recently issued a report which confirmed that only recently revealed how President Donald Trump will navigate marihuana policy during his second kadencjy and it remains unknown as to whether Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) implements proposed harmonogram changes for legal marijuana.
Ustawodawcy from Polkudniowej Dakoty have disapproved an initiative meant to weaken voter-approved medical marijuana law by refuting certain provisions in it.
