Smart & Safe Florida Releases Closing Ad of the Campaign, Reminds Voters What’s at Stake
“It’s Smart. It’s Safe. It’s Time” reminds voters we can prevent unnecessary arrests and make our communities safer by voting YES on Amendment 3
(Orlando, FL) – As Election Day nears and Floridians make plans to cast their votes, Smart & Safe Florida highlights the many benefits of voting YES on Amendment 3. In “It’s Smart. It’s Safe. It’s Time,” Smart & Safe Florida reminds voters there’s a simple choice in this election. We can continue arresting adults for simple marijuana possession and ruining lives while allowing the illicit market to put our kids at risk, or we can vote YES on Amendment 3 and give adults access to safe, regulated marijuana, ensure the freedom for adults to consume marijuana in the privacy of their homes, and generate billions for schools and police.

Bolstered by a wave of endorsements from national and local leaders like former President Donald Trump, Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan, Republican State Senator Joe Gruters, Republican Bradford County Sheriff Gordon Smith, Democratic Gadsden County Sheriff Morris Young, Miami Gardens Police Chief Dema Noel-Pratt, Floridians from across the political spectrum are showing their support for Amendment 3. Floridians know Amendment 3 will expand our individual freedoms and put an end to the needless arrest and incarceration of adult Floridians for simple possession of marijuana.
While Floridians are rallying together to expand their individual freedoms and gain the same basic rights as those in 24 states and D.C., the state government has stolen more than $50 million from Florida taxpayers to spend on political propaganda on TV, radio, digital, streaming, and billboards. While politicians in Tallahassee are using taxpayer dollars for political gain, Amendment 3 is about less government and more money for our schools and police. Amendment 3 is smart, safe, and it’s time Floridians have the same freedoms that more than half of Americans already enjoy.
“Amendment 3 will make our communities safer, put an end to life-ruining arrests, and it will expand Floridians’ individual freedoms.” said Morgan Hill, spokesperson for Smart & Safe Florida. “Amendment 3 will end the unjust and unneeded arrests of individuals who consume marijuana for personal use, give adults the right to make their own choices, and honor the core values that define the Free State of Florida.”
