Florida’s battle to legalize adult-use cannabis is heating up ahead of the Amendment 3 ballot measure. As of July 26, Trulieve contributed $60.4 million of the $66.7 million raised by the Yes on 3 campaign, according to the Florida Division of Elections (DEL). Fellow multistate operators Verano ($2.5 million), Curaleaf ($2 million), Green Thumb Industries ($500,000), AYR Wellness ($500,000), Cresco Labs ($400,000) and INSA ($244,000) are the other main contributors. The state’s Yes on 3 campaign, sponsored by Smart & Safe Florida, began running television ads in May to support Amendment 3. But opponents are ramping up opposition as well. Billionaire Ken Griffin, the CEO of multinational hedge fund Citadel, wrote an opinion piece Aug. 2 in the Miami Herald opposing Amendment 3, calling it a “terrible plan to create the nation’s most expansive and destructive marijuana laws,” and pledging $12 million to defeat it, wrote CBT Editor Tony Lange.

📢 The results are in from CBT's survey on intoxicating hemp-derived cannabinoids. You can read details of the findings in Part I of this special two-part report here: https://lnkd.in/e9D3HabJ One main takeaway: 4 in 5 respondents from state-legal cannabis (aka marijuana) businesses think intoxicating hemp-derived cannabinoid products should be regulated like cannabis; so do nearly 50% of those at licensed hemp businesses. Thanks to everyone who participated.
