Former President Donald Trump recently expressed his support for the legalization of personal amounts of marijuana in Florida. Trump believes that adults in Florida should not be arrested for possessing personal amounts of marijuana, especially as the state's voters are preparing to vote on recreational use of the drug in November.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump endorsed Amendment 3, a proposal that would legalize personal amounts of marijuana for adults in Florida. He emphasized the importance of respecting the will of the voters and called for the state legislature to establish laws that regulate the use of marijuana in public spaces.
Trump highlighted the disparity between Florida's laws and those of other states where marijuana is already legal. He argued that arresting adults for possessing personal amounts of marijuana is a waste of taxpayer dollars and can have negative consequences, such as potential exposure to dangerous substances like fentanyl-laced marijuana.
During a recent news conference at Mar-a-Lago, Trump reiterated his support for the legalization of marijuana and emphasized the need to prioritize public safety.
Both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have made statements in recent weeks that suggest they are seeking to broaden their appeal to voters ahead of the general election.
