An anti-marijuana legalization policy group celebrated the defeat of Florida's Amendment 3 which would have legalized recreational marijuana use in the state.

More than half of Florida voters approved of Amendment 3, but it did not reach the required 60 percent threshold to pass.

Following the most expensive ballot measure battle in the nation, Decision Desk HQ has called the race with Amendment 3 several percentage points short of the approval threshold with the vast majority of votes counted. Gov. Ron DeSantis also declared the amendment dead.
