PUNTA GORDA, Fla. — Floridians made their voices heard by voting no to legalizing recreational marijuana in the Sunshine State.

Amendment 3 failed to gain the approval of the 60 percent of voters it needed to pass.

It would have allowed adults 21 and older to purchase and consume marijuana for non-medical purposes.

The amendment also would have set strict limits on the amount of weed people could legally transport at one time.

For example, the amendment states that up to 85 grams of marijuana or five grams of marijuana concentrate can be legally transported.

Medical marijuana dispensaries will not be given the green light to sell weed to recreational users.

The amendment also made it illegal to be under the influence of marijuana while operating a car, train, boat or plane.

FOX 4 Community Correspondent Victoria Scott spoke with a Charlotte County resident who told her the strong odor caused him to vote against it.

About 56% of voters approved it.
