The election results weren’t what we’d hoped for. However, we are very proud of how hard we fought. Thank you to everyone who voted Yes On 3 and helped educate friends and family about adult use legalization. With 56% of Floridians voting in favor of 3, it’s clear that the majority of the state supports adult use. The 60% threshold needed to pass a constitutional amendment in Florida, along with strong opposition spreading misinformation, created a challenging path forward. The good news is, now the opposition has to back up their claims, since a lot of their concerns centered around the amendment’s wording, not adult use itself. The majority of voters voted in favor of Amendment 3 and that cannot be ignored. Adult use legalization happening in Florida isn’t a question of “if” it’s a question of “when”. With 56% already in favor, we have a strong foundation to continue pushing. There are some positives in the outcome: Our hope is that the governor’s office will now embrace and support the medical program more actively. Also, for licensed operators, this means less competition flooding the market, allowing current operators more room to expand. Another positive outcome is that this election highlighted the importance of regulated, clean, and lab-tested cannabis and cannabis-derivative products. Unfortunately, the real loss here is for the people - the majority of Florida voters who voted for this change. Again, a big thank you to everyone who supported Amendment 3. We didn’t achieve the outcome we wanted this time, but we will be back ?? Onward ??

When you tune out the noise and focus on the facts, the decision is simple. Florida, it’s time to choose a safer, regulated path forward for cannabis. ??? Educate your friends and family and make sure everyone gets to the polls! A YES vote on 3 means safer, tested products, transparency for regulators, and billions in projected tax revenue to benefit our state. Let’s make a difference together - ? VOTE YES ON 3! ? for a safer, more transparent Florida!

Florida could potentially join the 24 states that have already legalized adult-use cannabis.

The cannabis industry needs to be paying very close attention. It's essential to partner with a laboratory that delivers accurate, reproducible, and legally defensible data, rather than one that either lacks the expertise or willingly manipulates results for short-term benefits. Such practices lead to long-term disappointment. At Modern Canna Laboratories, we've emphasized for years that the costs associated with product recalls, lawsuits, or reputational damage far outweigh the expense of discarding a contaminated production batch. To all the legacy cannabis cultivators - your expertise is not in question; however, regulatory standards have significantly evolved and vary by state. Ensure you partner with a testing lab that prioritizes long-term integrity and protection. This is and has always been our top priority. #QualityAssurance #DataIntegrity #CannabisCompliance #RiskMitigation
