Smart & Safe Florida remains optimistic about qualifying their marijuana legalization amendment for Florida's 2026 ballot despite a recent court setback over invalid signatures, as they hold over 1 million valid petitions. (148 characters)
Legal Setback
Florida election officials directed supervisors to discard around 200,000 petition signatures deemed invalid. Smart & Safe Florida, backed by funding from Trulieve, challenged this in court, but Leon County Circuit Judge John Cooper ruled in favor of the state last week. The group announced Tuesday they will not appeal the decision.
Path Forward
“We are confident in the ability to submit enough petitions to make ballot position so long as the state does its job in good faith to process the submitted petitions and accurately report the verification totals,” the organization stated.
To secure a ballot spot, more than 880,000 valid voter signatures are required. Smart & Safe claims they retain over 1 million signatures after disqualifications.
Campaign Efforts
In early 2025, the group relaunched by mailing reworked petitions to millions of voters, featuring an approved website link to the full amendment text instead of the complete document.
