Big Mac Donald… Former President Donald Trump on Saturday said he thinks adults in Florida shouldn’t be arrested for having “personal amounts” of marijuana in their possession, as the state’s voters are set to weigh in this November on recreational use of the drug.
Trump said in a new post on Truth Social that he thought the proposal, known as Amendment 3, would pass.
Trump called for the Florida state legislature to “responsibly create laws that prohibit the use of it in public spaces, so we do not smell marijuana everywhere we go, like we do in many of the Democrat run Cities.”
“At the same time, someone should not be a criminal in Florida, when this is legal in so many other States. We do not need to ruin lives & waste Taxpayer Dollars arresting adults with personal amounts of it on them, and no one should grieve a loved one because they died from fentanyl laced marijuana. We will make America SAFE again!” Trump wrote.
The former president made similar comments about legalizing marijuana during a news conference earlier this month at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump and his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, have each staked out positions in recent weeks that appear aimed at broadening their appeal in the general election.
