It was an amendment on freedom with the chains caveat.

As it was explained during the campaign, Florida law requires that a citizen's initiative amendment be limited to a single issue. If an argument can be made that the initiative attempts to change more than one aspect of the constitution then the amendment is disqualified and not allowed on the ballot. This amendment could have made recreational usage legal OR it could have made home growing legal BUT NOT BOTH.
