This fall, Floridians will vote on Amendment 3, which would legalize cannabis for adults 21 years old and older in the Sunshine State. Existing medical marijuana treatment centers in the state will get first (and maybe the only) dibs to sell adult-use cannabis. It’s been a battle for Florida to even get adult use cannabis on the ballot, and the threshold for adoption of this constitutional amendment sits at a whopping 60% of voter support.

In this episode, Husch Blackwell's Hilary Bricken, and Hirsh Jain, founder of Ananda Strategy, a leading cannabis consultancy serving cannabis brands, retailers, technology businesses, and venture capital funds in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe, take us through the importance and significance of Amendment 3—not just for Florida, but for the nation when it comes to meaningful cannabis reform and progress.
