While the nation is anxiously waiting to see who will be the next president, Florida is watching six constitutional amendments.

Now that the amendment has failed, here’s what to know about Amendment 3 and marijuana in Florida. Amendment 3 would have allowed adults 21 and older to buy and use up to three ounces of marijuana.

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.

In Florida, constitutional amendments need at least 60% of the vote to be adopted. Amendment 3, which would have allowed people 21 and older to use marijuana without any medical reason, got about 56% of the vote.

A 60% super-majority of votes is required to amend Florida's constitution. Amendment 3, which would have allowed recreational marijuana for adults 21 and older, fell short of that at 55.9%. “I'm a little surprised that it didn't pass. A little disappointed,” said Roger Brown, President of ACS Laboratory.
