Florida voters rejected a ballot measure to legalize recreational marijuana, dealing a blow to the cannabis industry and giving a win to the leading opponents: Governor Ron DeSantis and billionaire Ken Griffin.

DeSantis and opponents to Amendment 4 argued the ballot measure's authors are "lying" to Floridians, and words used, like "health care provider" and "viability" leave too much room for "outsiders" and unqualified practitioners to come to Florida and perform unsafe procedures.
