Florida’s marijuana lobby is facing friction after dumping $40 million into an initiative to legalize recreational cannabis in the Sunshine State.

If approved by 60 percent of voters in the 2024 election, the measure would amend the state constitution and legalize recreational marijuana use for adults 21 and older.
