    Florida’s Amendment 3 has failed. Which marijuana is legal

    There were six constitutional amendments on Florida ballots Tuesday, and voters said “no” on Amendment 3. That means Florida won’t become the 25th state to make recreational marijuana legal for adult use.

    Although recreational marijuana won’t become legal in Florida next year, low-THC cannabis products for people with medical marijuana cards are still available in pharmacies and smoke shops across the state.

    Here’s why Amendment 3 didn’t pass despite receiving over 55% “yes” votes, what types of THC products are legal in Florida, and what the difference is between delta 8 and delta 9 THC.

    Has Amendment 3 passed in Florida?

    Despite receiving 55.9% “yes” votes, Amendment 3 did not reach the 60% supermajority threshold needed to pass. A total of 5,934,139 “yes” votes were obtained. There were 4,685,443 “no” votes.

    Can I smoke weed in public in Florida?

    In Florida, you can’t smoke weed in public, even if you have a medical marijuana card.

    What weed is currently legal in Florida? Are delta 8 and delta 9 products legal in Florida?

    Yes, delta 9 THC and delta 8 THC products, which some call “diet weed,” are legal in Florida.

    Although you are not legally allowed to purchase and smoke actual weed in Florida without a medical marijuana license, you can purchase low-level delta 8 and delta 9 THC products from your local smoke shop without a medical license. The only requirement to purchase low THC products in Florida is to be 21 years of age or older.

    Is delta 8 the same as regular weed?

    Delta-8 products have milder psychoactive effects than the cannabinoid that gives ‘real’ weed a high. Marijuana and hemp are both types of cannabis sativa plants. The type of weed you buy in medical dispensaries comes from marijuana plants, while CBD and delta-8 THC come from hemp plants.

    “Delta-8 THC is one of more than 100 cannabinoids naturally produced by the cannabis plant, but is not found in significant amounts in the cannabis plant,” the FDA website says. “As a result, concentrated amounts of delta-8 THC are typically manufactured from hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD).”

    What is the difference between delta 8 and delta 9?

    Delta 8 and delta 9 products are very similar in that when smoked or otherwise consumed, they provide a milder and not as long-lasting version of the psychoactive effects that marijuana has.

    The two main differences between delta 8 and delta 9 THC products are potency and regulation. Many manufacturers of delta 8 products do not adhere to specific regulations, such as ensuring that the product does not contain anything that is not listed on the label. Delta 9 products are more heavily regulated in states where legalization has led to specific rules governing the composition and sale of THC products. Delta 9 products are also slightly more powerful than delta 8.

    Basically even the plant delta 8 products are extracted and synthesized from CBD; while delta 9 can be consumed in its vegetable form without being extracted.

    “Delta-9 THC can be smoked or vaporized in flower (bud) form without the need for extraction, although edibles, topicals and other preparations do require an extraction process,” according to Forbes Health.

    “On the other hand, almost all delta-8 THC products are synthesized, extracted and purified from cannabis CBD.”
