Summary

The Smart & Safe Florida committee is bankrolled by the state's largest company.

The proposal would allow adults ages 21 and older to purchase and possess marijuana .

It seeks to address a number of issues raised by Gov. DeSantis , who led a drive to defeat last year's proposed constitutional amendment.

The new proposal differs from the 2024 proposal in some ways.

The revived recreational-pot effort comes as state health regulators are poised to nearly double the number of licensed medical marijuana companies.

The Department of Health last year issued letters of intent to award licenses to 22 applicants.

The new proposed constitutional amendment would allow companies to "acquire, cultivate, process, transport, and sell marijuana to adults for personal use".
