Multistate operator Trulieve Cannabis donated an additional $5.5 million to efforts to legalize adult-use marijuana in Florida.

According to Orlando Weekly, the Tallahassee, Florida-based company has donated a total of $25.5 million so far to the Smart & Safe Florida campaign, which is working to get adult-use legalization on the November 2024 ballot.

Trulieve’s latest contribution to Smart & Safe Florida follows a $5 million donation in December.

So far, the group has collected more than 291,000 signatures for its petition – enough to send it to the Florida Supreme Court for review.

Smart & Safe Florida needs to collect more than 891,589 signatures for the constitutional amendment to be included on the ballot.

If passed, the amendment would make it legal for people 21 years and older “to possess, purchase, or use marijuana products and marijuana accessories for non-medical personal consumption by smoking, ingestion, or otherwise.”
