Organizers will need 766,200 signatures to place the petition on the state’s 2020 election ballot. If the goal is reached, Florida voters will be able to determine whether the state’s constitution should be amended to legalize adult-use marijuana possession and use. The Adult Use of Marijuana ballot petition is direct and simple. The proposal would allow medical marijuana treatment centers to carry and sell adult-use products. The only restrictions contained in the petition are that (1) marijuana be clearly labeled and in childproof packaging, and (2) marijuana products are not marketed to persons under the age of 21. The ballot petition fails to require that products sold in the state be tested prior to sale or tracked to prevent diversion. The move to legalize adult-use marijuana is not surprising. The state currently has 350,624 medical marijuana patients enrolled in the state’s program, and a total of 155 dispensing locations. Florida medical marijuana program is currently in limbo as the state’s courts found that the vertically integrated requirements and license caps were unconstitutional. The executive branch has requested a review of the decision. ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fhs.getobedio.com%2Fblog%2F2019%2F08%2F27%2F2019-8-27-only-766200-more-signatures-needed-to-make-it-legal-in-florida](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fhs.getobedio.com%2Fblog%2F2019%2F08%2F27%2F2019-8-27-only-766200-more-signatures-needed-to-make-it-legal-in-florida) ## Keep reading ### [California Ballot Measure Local Municipalities California voters will decide 118 local tax measures and $8.07 billion in bond requests on November 3](https://hs.getobedio.com/blog/california-voters-will-decide-118-local-tax-measures-and-8.07-billion-in-bond-requests-on-november-3) ### [Local Ordinance Zoning Ordinance Development Data Federal Realty Asks La Mesa to Approve a 165,000-Square-Foot Bass Pro Shops Where Macy's Stood at Grossmont Center](https://hs.getobedio.com/blog/federal-realty-asks-la-mesa-to-approve-a-165000-square-foot-bass-pro-shops-where-macys-stood-at-grossmont-center) [![Obedio your municipal data source](https://hs.getobedio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/google%20workspace-1.png?width=100&height=41&name=google%20workspace-1.png "Obedio your municipal data source")](https://getobedio.com) Obedio's business intelligence platform provides data and insights from over 25,000 municipalities, enabling retail, manufacturing, finance, real estate, and government clients to make informed decisions, assess risk, and identify opportunities. **Data Source & Liability Disclaimer:** The data presented on this website is aggregated from various official government and public entities ("The Original Government Sources").
