Four states have marijuana on the ballot, one will vote on psychedelics

US Election Day is here and people will not only be voting to choose their next president but also to reach decisions on some important issues. Marijuana legislation is one such topic that will be on the ballot in four states.

Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Florida residents will be voting on the future of marijuana legalisation. Meanwhile, in Massachusetts, where medical and recreational marijuana is already legal, people will be voting to decide if it is possible to legalise psychedelics.

Here's everything you need to know about marijuana on the ballot.

Floridamarijuana legislation

In Florida, the ballot will have Amendment 3 which is about the legalisation of recreational marijuana as medical marijuana is already legal in the state. Voters need to decide on a state constitutional amendment which will allow adults 21 and up to possess, purchase and use marijuana for non-medical purposes.

Adults will be able to carry up to three ounces of marijuana and up to five ounces of marijuana concentrate.

It would also let Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers and other licensed state entities acquire, cultivate, process, manufacture, sell and distribute marijuana products and accessories.

It would allow possession, growth and use of "certain natural psychedelic substances in certain circumstances". People can purchase natural psychedelic substances from approved locations.

The psychedelics will be regulated and taxed.

The "natural psychedelic substances" that would be permitted include psilocybin and psilocyn which are found in mushrooms, and dimethyltryptamine, mescaline and ibogaine found in plants.

Adults 21 and up would also be permitted to grow psychedelic substances in a 12-foot-by-12-foot area in their homes.
