According to polls, the necessary majority of FL voters will assert their constitutional right to use cannabis in the November referendum, but "libertarian" Matt Gaetz opposes it:
“I think when you ensconce abortion policy or marijuana policy in the constitution you limit the ability to appropriately tailor policy to evolving circumstances and evolving technologies,” Gaetz said.
Listen: It's either a right to put it into your body. or it's some kind of malleable privilege. Gaetz wants it to be the latter. This reeks of corporate influence.
From MarijianaMoment.com ("DeSantis’s Marijuana Opposition Campaign In Florida Raises Just $10,000 As Pro-Legalization Committee Rakes In Tens Of Millions"; 7/1/2024):
Despite his opposition to the marijuana legalization, DeSantis recently vetoed a bill to ban the sale of intoxicating hemp-derived cannabinoids in his state. The action came amid reporting that the governor planned to block the hemp prohibition legislation in hopes that the industry would return the favor by financially assisting in his effort to defeat the marijuana initiative.
In other words, enshrining it in the state constitution (as an actual right) might hinder future corporatist or government meddling with said right. Gaetz is obviously on the corporate donor train.
