"Florida's Marijuana Legalization Efforts Face Uphill Battle in Latest Polls"

A new poll shows that less than 50 percent of Florida voters currently intend to support the marijuana legalization initiative on the November ballot, falling short of the 60 percent threshold required for approval. The survey also reveals demographic differences in support, with younger cohorts showing higher backing. The Smart & Safe Florida campaign faces challenges and opportunities as it enters the next phase of outreach and education, with multiple marijuana companies donating millions to support the effort. Governor DeSantis has expressed strong opposition to the initiative, predicting that voters will reject it and arguing that it will reduce the quality of life in the state.
