Despite receiving a majority of "yes" votes, Florida's Amendment 3 failed to pass. Here's why, how state now compares to the rest of the country.

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

Florida voters Tuesday rejected an amendment to the State Constitution that would have allowed adults 21 and older to use and possess marijuana for non-medical purposes, according to NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ.
