No on Amendment 3: Recreational Use of Marijuana
“I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” John 10:10.

Voting No on Amendment 3 will ensure that the recreational use of marijuana remains illegal for all Floridians.

Prevent Increased Use of and Addiction to Marijuana
Legalizing marijuana makes it more accessible, removes the criminal penalties and stigma attributable to it, and creates the impression that it is safe to use. i Taken together, these factors ultimately lead to increased use of the drug by as much as 20% in adults. ii

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people who use marijuana have almost a 10% likelihood of becoming addicted, with that risk increasing in people who use marijuana frequently or start using it during youth or adolescence.iii Marijuana use among young adults is already at an all-time high, with10% using it daily and almost 50% using it within the last year.

Avoid Adverse Health Outcomes
Decades ago, the level of the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, THC, was typically 2-3%. Products today, however, can have THC levels as high as 90%, creating significantly stronger effects on brain function specifically memory, learning, attention, decision making, coordination, emotions, and reaction time.v This negative impact on brain function, in turn, leads to increased motor vehicle accidents, cases resulting in trauma, and use of psychiatric emergency services, emergency rooms, and poison control services.vi

Because the human brain is not fully mature until our mid-to-late 20s, young people are even more susceptible to the adverse effects of marijuana. vii In fact, research has linked the use of marijuana by young adults to psychiatric disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, especially in young men.viii

Similarly, some women turn to marijuana to reduce severe nausea during pregnancy. This, however, increases the risk of stillbirth, premature birth, low birth weight, and impaired development of a baby’s brain, including memory, learning skills, and behavior.x

Adhere to the Church’s Teachings
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states, “The use of drugs inflicts very grave damage on human health and life. Their use, except on strictly therapeutic grounds, is a grave offense” (no. 2291).

Furthermore, at an international drug enforcement conference almost 10 years ago, Pope Francis was clear:

Drugs are an evil, and with evil there can be no yielding or compromise... No to every type of drug use. It is as simple as that... But to say this ‘no,’ one has to say ‘yes’ to life...love... others... education... [and] greater job opportunities. If we say ‘yes’ to all these things, there will be no room for illicit drugs, for alcohol abuse, for other forms of addiction.x

Vote NO on 4

Amendment 4 is a proposed amendment to the Florida Constitution that would essentially establish an unlimited right to abortion throughout pregnancy even when the heartbeat of the preborn child is detected, when the preborn child can experience pain, and when the child is capable of living outside the womb.

Amendment 4 will appear on the November 5, 2024, ballot and require approval from 60% of the electorate to pass.

We urge all parishes, schools, families, ministries, and individual Catholics to encourage voters to join in our opposition and reject this extreme and ill-conceived proposition.

English   Español

Upcoming Events

The Archdiocese will be hosting a few events on the months prior to the Elections to spread the word in our advocacy efforts opposing Amendment 4.

Planned Giving is charitable giving that is planned, often deferred, and usually executed over an extended period of time through a will, contract, or trust.

Stewardship

As stewardship leaders, we are encouraged to reflect on our blessings, enhance them, and share them with others, recognizing that everything we possess is a gift from God. When we give of ourselves and help others, we demonstrate God's love.

“It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” Mark 10:25.

Jesus uses a strong visual analogy to make us understand our calling. He wants to show us that his conditions are not easy, and we are asked for true generosity with all our gifts including the gift of self which includes our time in prayer to God, our talent in participating in parish ministries and our treasure supporting our local parish and other charities.

Mayordomía

Como líderes de la corresponsabilidad, se nos anima a reflexionar sobre nuestras bendiciones, mejorarlas y compartirlas con los demás, reconociendo que todo lo que poseemos es un don de Dios. Cuando damos de nosotros mismos y ayudamos a los demás, demostramos el amor de Dios.

“Es más fácil que un camello pase por el ojo de una aguja que un rico entre en el reino de Dios”. Marcos 10:25.

Jesús usa una fuerte analogía visual para hacernos entender nuestro llamado. Él quiere mostrarnos que sus condiciones no son fáciles, y se nos pide verdadera generosidad con todos nuestros dones, incluido el don de sí mismo, que incluye nuestro tiempo en oración a Dios, nuestro talento para participar en los ministerios parroquiales y nuestro tesoro apoyando a nuestra parroquia local y otras organizaciones benéficas.
