Inspirational Technologies was founded in 2013 by Steven Smith, who is also the CEO and owner of the company.

The company used to operate as a subsidiary of Marijuana Company of America, Inc., a publicly traded company that invests in the legal cannabis and hemp industries. The company also provides educational and documented research services to promote the benefits of hemp and cannabis12

He has a background in technology, media, and entertainment, and has worked as a producer, director, and writer for various projects. He is also a passionate advocate for hemp and cannabis legalization and reform and has participated in several initiatives and campaigns to support the cause. He is a member of the Florida Hemp Council, a nonprofit organization that represents the interests of the hemp industry in Florida. He is also a frequent speaker and guest at various events and podcasts related to hemp and cannabis34

Marijuana in Florida is illegal for recreational use, but legal for medical use for patients with qualifying conditions. The state legalized medical marijuana in 2016, after voters approved Amendment 2, which expanded the list of qualifying conditions and allowed for more dispensaries and products. As of June 2021, there were over 600,000 registered medical marijuana patients and over 300 licensed dispensaries in Florida56

However, recreational marijuana remains prohibited in Florida, and the penalties for possession vary by the amount, from financial fines to jail time. The state has not yet passed any laws to decriminalize or legalize recreational marijuana, despite several attempts by activists and lawmakers. In 2020, a proposed constitutional amendment to legalize recreational marijuana failed to gather enough signatures to qualify for the ballot. In 2021, another proposed amendment, backed by Trulieve, one of the largest medical marijuana providers in Florida, received enough signatures to qualify for the 2024 ballot. However, the amendment is facing legal challenges from the Florida Attorney General, who argues that the amendment is misleading and violates the single-subject rule.

Florida Amendment 3, the Marijuana Legalization Initiative, is on the ballot in Florida as an initiated constitutional amendment on November 5, 2024.
The initiative would legalize recreational marijuana for adults 21 years old and older. Individuals would be allowed to possess up to three ounces of marijuana (about 85 grams), with up to five grams in the form of concentrate. Existing Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers would be authorized under the initiative to sell marijuana to adults for personal use. The Florida State Legislature could provide by state law for the licensure of entities other than existing Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers to cultivate and sell marijuana products.[1]
Medical marijuana was adopted by Florida voters in 2016 by a vote of 71% to 29%.

Who is supporting and opposing this initiative?

Smart and Safe Florida is sponsoring the initiative. The campaign reported $61.28 million in contributions. Trulieve, a marijuana dispensary company that owns medical marijuana dispensaries in Florida, is the main contributor.[2] Smart & Safe Florida said, “The industry is sustainable and growing. In 2020, when the state lost more than 400,000 jobs, Florida’s cannabis industry added 15,000 employees. … Tax revenues from the legal cannabis industry for federal and state governments are projected to reach $4.06 billion in 2025, according to New Frontier data. … There is no evidence that legalizing marijuana for medical or recreational use at the state level, as 37 states already have done, has boosted underage consumption from the regulated marketplace. The continued black market sale of marijuana perpetuates a culture of criminality. … If adult-use cannabis is legalized, Florida users will have accountability, transparency, and regulations in place to ensure products are not laced with or contain potentially deadly chemicals.”[3]

Vote No on 3, Floridians Against Recreational Marijuana, and the Florida Freedom Fund registered to oppose the initiative. Together, the committees reported $125,200 in contributions. The Florida Freedom Fund was created by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) to oppose the marijuana initiative as well as the abortion initiative. DeSantis said, “[The initiatives] are very, very extreme. Once voters figure out how radical both of those are, they’re going to fail. It’s basically a license to have it anywhere you want. So no time, place and manner restrictions. This state will start to smell like marijuana in our cities and towns.”[4]

According to a recent poll, 60 percent of Florida voters approve of legalizing recreational marijuana, while 34 percent oppose it, and 6 percent are undecided. The poll also found that support for legalization varies by age, gender, party affiliation, and region. Younger, female, Democratic, and urban voters are more likely to support legalization than older, male, Republican, and rural voters10
