With Election Day less than two weeks away, voters are gearing up to cast their ballots. In four states, voters will have the opportunity to weigh in on a continuously hot topic: marijuana.
Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Florida voters will see marijuana on their ballots on Tuesday, Nov. 5. And in Massachusetts, where medical and recreational marijuana is already legal, voters will be weighing in on the possibility of legalizing psychedelics.
Here's what to know about marijuana legislation in the 2024 election and what each state is voting on.
A measure related to recreational marijuana is on the Florida ballot. Currently, medical marijuana is legal in the state.
Amendment 3 asks voters to consider a state constitutional amendment that would allow for the possession, purchase and use of marijuana for non-medical purposes by adults 21 and up. The amendment would also allow the Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers and other licensed state entities to acquire, cultivate, process, manufacture, sell and distribute marijuana products and accessories.
Under the amendment, adults 21 and up would be permitted to possess up to three ounces of marijuana and up to five ounces in the form of marijuana concentrate.
