The Florida Supreme Court also APPROVES a ballot initiative to legalize recreational marijuana.
This initiative, plus the abortion question, will appear on the ballot in November. Both need 60% approval to pass. https://supremecourt.flcourts.gov/content/download/2285281/opinion/Opinion_SC2023-0682.pdf
