A political committee leading efforts to pass a constitutional amendment that would allow use of recreational marijuana raised $313,566 from July 6 through July 12 and had about $12.6 million in cash on hand, according to a newly filed finance report.

In all, the Smart & Safe Florida committee has raised nearly $61.5 million since being formed in 2022, the report posted on the state Division of Elections website shows.

The latest contributions included $250,000 from the cannabis company Verano Holdings, which operates as MÜV in Florida.

Also, the committee received $50,000 from the company Dutchie, which provides technology for the cannabis industry, according to its website.

The proposed constitutional amendment, which will appear as Amendment 3 on the November ballot, says, in part, that it would allow “adults 21 years or older to possess, purchase, or use marijuana products and marijuana accessories for non-medical personal consumption by smoking, ingestion, or otherwise.”

Voters in 2016 passed a constitutional amendment that allowed medical marijuana.
