Amendment 3 would legalize marijuana for use by people 21 years of age and older. This would allow Florida's currently operating registered medical marijuana shops to provide services to all adult consumers, meanwhile, Amendment 4 states that, with some exceptions made for legislation requiring parental notice for minors seeking abortions, abortion should not be banned, punished, delayed, or limited before viability or when determined essential for the patient's health by their healthcare professional.
