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.
继佛罗里达州最高法院周一批准允许在2024年11月的投票中将休闲大麻合法化的宪法修正案之后，其他大麻公司——除了超级慷慨的Trulieve（OTCQX: TCNNF）——目前正在筹集至少1500万美元的支持资金。
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创始人兼首席执行官金·里弗斯在4月16日至17日在佛罗里达州好莱坞举行的Benzinga大麻资本会议上发表演讲，最高法院的裁决和佛罗里达州的合法化申请无疑将浮现在每个人的脑海中。

大麻公司纷纷加入
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."
在最高法院作出驳回共和党司法部长阿什利·摩尔对该措施的激烈质疑的裁决后的48小时内，修正案提案国Smart & Safe Florida在周三的新闻稿中表示，它将从 “致力于帮助确保今年秋天取得胜利” 的捐助者那里筹集新的资金。
"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.
佛罗里达州Smart & Safe主席戴维·贝拉米说：“我们不仅对法院同意推进这一举措感到高兴，而且我们也很高兴地宣布将建立一个由坚定捐赠者组成的强大联盟来支持这项工作。”
"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.
佛罗里达州Smart & Safe表示：“迄今为止，该活动主要由总部位于佛罗里达州的Trulieve资助，随着这些额外捐助者的宣布，新的竞选财务报告将很快显示大量公司加入Trulieve为这项历史性努力做出贡献。”
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.
毕竟，佛罗里达州是美国最大和最赚钱的医用大麻市场之一。想象一下今年11月合法的成人使用市场是否/何时获得批准。
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.
该提案将使 “21岁及以上的成年人个人使用大麻制品和大麻配件的非医疗用途” 合法化，需要在2024年11月获得至少60％的选民的批准。
"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."
