Florida Rejects Cannabis Legalization Amendment Supported By Trump, Detested By DeSantis
Smart & Safe Florida, the campaign that got the initiative onto the ballot, put out a notice shortly after receiving the news.Florida voters rejected an initiative to legalize marijuana for adult use. Known as Amendment 3, the initiative did not garner the 60% votes necessary Tuesday to pass a constitutional amendment though it did get a clear majority.
佛羅里達州的選民拒絕了將成人用大麻合法化的倡議。該倡議被稱爲第三修正案，儘管確實獲得了明顯的多數，但沒有獲得週二通過憲法修正案所需的60％的選票。
The initiative enjoyed star-studded endorsements, including from former President Donald Trump, who is a Florida resident. But it faced tough and sustained GOP opposition from Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Republican Party.
該倡議得到了星光閃爍的支持，包括來自佛羅里達州居民的前總統唐納德·特朗普的支持。但它遭到了共和黨州長羅恩·德桑蒂斯和佛羅里達共和黨的強烈而持續的反對。
With 93% of votes counted, the amendment failed with 55.8% yes votes and 44.2% no votes, according to the Associated Press.
據美聯社報道，在計算了93％的選票後，該修正案以55.8％的贊成票和44.2％的反對票失敗。

In the weeks before Election Day, DeSantis held a string of conferences denouncing the amendment. Campaign groups opposing legalization were essentially staffed by DeSantis allies. In what many called misusing public money, the Florida transportation department ran ads saying that DUI crashes increased in states with legal marijuana, which caused the Amendment 3 campaign to send out cease-and-desist notices.
在選舉日之前的幾周裏，德桑蒂斯舉行了一系列會議，譴責該修正案。反對合法化的競選團體主要由德桑蒂斯盟友組成。在許多人所謂的濫用公共資金中，佛羅里達州交通部門投放廣告說，在擁有合法大麻的州，酒後駕車事故有所增加，這導致第3號修正案運動發出了停止和終止通知。
Cannabis Industry Responds
大麻行業的回應
"While it's disappointing to see Florida's Amendment 3 fall short of the 60% threshold necessary, it's important to recognize the bipartisan voter support that the measure received," said Anthony Coniglio, CEO of NewLake Capital Partners, Inc. (OTC:NLCP).
NewLake Capital Partners, Inc.（場外交易代碼：NLCP）首席執行官安東尼·科尼格里奧表示：「儘管佛羅里達州的第3號修正案未達到必要的60％的門檻令人失望，但重要的是要承認該措施獲得的兩黨選民支持。」
"Constitutional amendments requiring 60% approval are always difficult but Americans' support for the cannabis industry is undeniable. These results don't erase the progress the sector has made or the growing public support for cannabis nationwide."
「需要60％批准的憲法修正案總是困難的，但美國人對大麻產業的支持是不可否認的。這些結果並不能抹去該行業取得的進展或全國公衆對大麻日益增長的支持。」
Tyler Beuerlein, business development officer at Safe Harbor Financial (NASDAQ:SHFS), acknowledged that state-level changes do not automatically resolve broader industry challenges.
安全港金融（納斯達克股票代碼：SHFS）業務發展官泰勒·博爾萊因承認，州級變革並不能自動解決更廣泛的行業挑戰。
"Despite both major political parties now voicing support for cannabis reform, federal legalization remains complex, with numerous unresolved issues around banking, interstate commerce, and comprehensive regulatory frameworks."
「儘管兩個主要政黨現在都表示支持大麻改革，但聯邦合法化仍然很複雜，在銀行、州際商業和全面監管框架方面有許多未解決的問題。」
