Florida is known for sandy beaches, palm trees, laid-back lifestyle and Jimmy Buffett. Accordingly, one would readily assume that the medical marijuana amendment would have easily passed Nov. 4. Indeed, Amendment 2 was even endorsed by Jimmy Buffett.
While Amendment 2 received more votes than Gov. Rick Scott, who was re-elected with 48 percent of the vote, and also more votes than Pam Bondi, who was re-elected as attorney general with 55 percent of the vote. Amendment 2, receiving 58 percent of the vote, failed to receive the 60 percent necessary for it to pass.
