Ken Griffin Invests $12 Million to Oppose Florida's Recreational Marijuana Amendment

The billionaire financier joins forces with Governor DeSantis to defeat Amendment 3, citing public safety and quality of life concerns.

  • Amendment 3 would legalize recreational marijuana use for adults 21 and older in Florida.
  • Griffin's $12 million donation supports the 'Vote No on 3' campaign, which aims to prevent the amendment's passage.
  • Supporters argue legalization will ensure safer products and generate significant tax revenue.
  • Opponents, including Griffin and DeSantis, warn of increased crime, addiction, and public nuisance.
  • A recent poll shows 64% of Floridians support the amendment, though it requires 60% to pass.
