Trump Supports Florida Marijuana Legalization Amendment

Former President Donald Trump has expressed his support for Florida's Amendment 3, which aims to legalize recreational marijuana for adults aged 21 and over. In a post on Truth Social, Trump emphasized the importance of implementing responsible legislation that prohibits public consumption of marijuana, stating, 'We do not smell marijuana everywhere we go, like we do in many of the Democrat run Cities.' He highlighted the necessity for the State Legislature to create laws that prevent criminalizing individuals for possessing personal amounts of marijuana, which he believes will be legalized through voter approval. Trump noted that marijuana is already legal in many states and criticized the waste of taxpayer dollars on arrests for personal use. His comments come as the amendment is set for a vote this fall, requiring 60% support to pass, with potential tax revenue estimates between $200 million and $430 million annually if approved.
