Cannabis Companies Pony Up $15M To Support Florida Legalization Amendment, Adding To Trulieve's $40M
Following Monday's approval by Florida's Supreme Court to allow a constitutional amendment to legalize recreational marijuana on the November 2024 ballot, other cannabis companies – in addition to the ultra-generous Trulieve (OTCQX:TCNNF) – are now coughing up support money to the tune of at least $15 million, so far.
繼佛羅里達州最高法院週一批准允許在2024年11月的投票中將休閒大麻合法化的憲法修正案之後，其他大麻公司——除了超級慷慨的Trulieve（OTCQX: TCNNF）——目前正在籌集至少1500萬美元的支持資金。
Trulieve founder and CEO Kim Rivers is a speaker at the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference in Hollywood, Florida April 16-17, where the Supreme Court decision and Florida's legalization bid will no doubt be on everyone's minds.
Trulieve創始人兼首席執行官金·裏弗斯在4月16日至17日在佛羅里達州好萊塢舉行的Benzinga大麻資本會議上發表演講，最高法院的裁決和佛羅里達州的合法化申請無疑將浮現在每個人的腦海中。

Within 48 hours after the Supreme Court decision, which tossed out Republican Attorney General Ashley Moore's bitter challenge against the measure, amendment sponsors Smart & Safe Florida said in a Wednesday press release that it's pulling in new funding from donors "committed to helping ensure victory this fall."
在最高法院作出駁回共和黨司法部長阿什利·摩爾對該措施的激烈質疑的裁決後的48小時內，修正案提案國Smart & Safe Florida在週三的新聞稿中表示，它將從 “致力於幫助確保今年秋天取得勝利” 的捐助者那裏籌集新的資金。
"We are not only pleased that the court has agreed to move this initiative forward, but we are also thrilled to announce a strong alliance of committed donors to the effort," said Smart & Safe Florida chair David Bellamy.
佛羅里達州Smart & Safe主席戴維·貝拉米說：“我們不僅對法院同意推進這一舉措感到高興，而且我們也很高興地宣佈將建立一個由堅定捐贈者組成的強大聯盟來支持這項工作。”
"To date, the campaign has largely been funded by Florida-based Trulieve and with the announcement of these additional donors, new campaign finance reports will soon show a broad group of companies who are joining Trulieve to contribute to this historic effort," Smart & Safe Florida stated.
佛羅里達州Smart & Safe表示：“迄今爲止，該活動主要由總部位於佛羅里達州的Trulieve資助，隨着這些額外捐助者的宣佈，新的競選財務報告將很快顯示大量公司加入Trulieve爲這項歷史性努力做出貢獻。”
Florida is, after all, among the largest and most lucrative medical marijuana markets in the U.S. Imagine if/when a legal adult-use market is approved this coming November.
畢竟，佛羅里達州是美國最大和最賺錢的醫用大麻市場之一。想象一下今年11月合法的成人使用市場是否/何時獲得批准。
The companies now involved in funding the proposal, known as Amendment 3, include Verano Holdings Corp (OTCQX: VRNOF), Curaleaf Holdings (OTCQX: CURLF), AYR Wellness (OTCQX: AYRWF), Cresco Labs Inc. (OTCQX: CRLBF), Green Thumb Industries (OTCQX: GTBIF) and INSA, Inc.

The proposal, which would legalize the "non-medical personal use of marijuana products and marijuana accessories by an adult" 21 or older, needs to be approved by at least 60% of the voters in November 2024.
該提案將使 “21歲及以上的成年人個人使用大麻製品和大麻配件的非醫療用途” 合法化，需要在2024年11月獲得至少60％的選民的批准。
"As we move into the next phase of campaigning, we are grateful to have the support of our donors," reads the Smart & Safe Florida statement. "We have come a long way, but our work has only just begun."
佛羅里達州Smart & Safe聲明說：“在我們進入下一階段的競選活動之際，我們感謝捐助者的支持。”“我們已經走了很長一段路，但我們的工作才剛剛開始。”
