Medical cannabis giant Trulieve has once again reinforced its commitment to legalizing recreational marijuana in Florida with a $5 million contribution to the Smart & Safe Florida political committee. This latest donation, made on July 15th, brings Trulieve’s total contributions to the campaign to over $60 million.
Smart & Safe Florida is spearheading the effort to pass Amendment 3, which would legalize recreational marijuana use for adults 21 and older in the state. The amendment is set to appear on the November ballot.

The significant financial backing from Trulieve highlights the growing momentum behind the legalization movement in Florida. The substantial funds raised by the committee will be utilized to advocate for the amendment and educate voters on the potential benefits of legalizing recreational marijuana.
While Florida voters previously approved a constitutional amendment allowing medical marijuana in 2016, the passage of Amendment 3 would mark a significant shift in the state’s stance on cannabis, potentially opening up a new market and generating substantial tax revenue.
