Gov. Ron DeSantis opposes recreational marijuana, yet similar intoxicating hemp products dominate.
While he's advocating against the measure, they’ve largely been silent on the wide availability of the products.
DeSantas says he’s worried that if Amendment 3 passes, children will get ahold of the hemp products.
Amendment 3 allows 21-year-olds to possess up to three ounces of marijuana or five grams in concentrated form.
Amendment 3 would allow state-licensed medical marijuana providers to sell recreational marijuana .
Florida hemp businesses protested en masse against the bill, saying it would doom them and eliminate thousands of jobs.
DeSantis sided with the businesses and vetoed the bill.
A batch of smokable hemp-derived products was sent to a testing lab and then sent to the USA TODAY Network-Florida .
Results showed a multitude of products had harmful contaminants such as mold, pesticides and heavy metals.
Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson had proposed and supported the 2023 hemp legislation.
