Donald Trump comes out in support of Florida’s recreational pot initiative
'Someone should not be a criminal in Florida, when this is legal in so many other States.'

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump says voters should support a November ballot initiative that would legalize recreational pot for adults.

Trump posted to Truth Social a statement supportive of Amendment 3, arguing that law enforcement should be focused on violent crime.

“In Florida, like so many other States that have already given their approval, personal amounts of marijuana will be legalized for adults with Amendment 3. Whether people like it or not, this will happen through the approval of the Voters, so it should be done correctly,” Trump said.

“We need the 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!”

"We need the State Legislature to responsibly create laws" - Donald


When do we start repealing some laws instead of calling to create more? Remove the prohibition from FL statute and move on, not create other prohibitions.

fentanyl laced marijuana

He might as well be worried about unicorns in marijuana

I don't think it is contaminated with fentanyl much at all, but I do like how he inferred that weed bought in a dispensary is safer than weed bought on the black market, where it sometimes contaminated with other drugs and frequently with harmful pesticides or with mold growing on it. It's another reason among many that cannabis should be legalized.

mold is legit, watch out folks

 

[Matt Collins]

He got this one right.

Oh man, think I seen one of those once.

Most stoner Dems know their party has citizens last on their list & heavily favor Gov & select corporations re: actual legalization laws

Fuck, I agree with Trump again. I don't care if you smoke it, but I don't want to smell that nasty shit walking down the street.

DeSantis doesn't want it legalized and mentioned the smell as well.

Trump Says Florida Marijuana Legalization Ballot Measure Will Be ‘Very Good’ For The State, Adding That Medical Use Is ‘Absolutely Amazing’ For Patients

Former President Donald Trump says medical marijuana has been “absolutely amazing” for patients, and that a Florida initiative to more broadly legalize cannabis for recreational use will be on the November ballot is “going to be very good” for the state after it passes, which he expects to happen.

The 2024 Republican nominee said during an interview on Lex Fridman’s podcast that was released on Tuesday that “medical marijuana has been amazing,” adding that he’s “had friends and I’ve had others and doctors telling me that it’s been absolutely amazing, the medical marijuana.”

Trump referenced a recent social media post he made about Florida’s Amendment 3 ballot initiative, where he gave tacit support for the proposal. “We can live with the marijuana,” he said.

“It’s got to be a certain age [to purchase],” he said. “It’s got to be done in a very concerted, lawful way. And the way they’re doing it in Florida, I think is going to be actually good. It’s going to be very good, but it’s got to be done in a good way. It’s got to be done in a clean way.”

He added that his campaign will be putting out an additional, “more specific” statement detailing his cannabis position within the next week.

Trump Backs Federal Marijuana Rescheduling And Cannabis Industry Banking Access

By Tom Angell
September 9, 2024

Former President Donald Trump says he supports federally rescheduling marijuana and opening up access to banking services for businesses in the cannabis industry. He is also reiterating his support for the legalization initiative on Florida’s November ballot.

“As President, we will continue to focus on research to unlock the medical uses of marijuana to a Schedule 3 drug, and work with Congress to pass common sense laws, including safe banking for state authorized companies, and supporting states rights to pass marijuana laws, like in Florida, that work so well for their citizens,” Trump said in a post on his site Truth Social on Sunday night.

The 2024 Republican presidential nominee made clear that he will be voting in support of legalizing cannabis in Florida, where he is a resident.

“As I have previously stated, I believe it is time to end needless arrests and incarcerations of adults for small amounts of marijuana for personal use,” he said. “We must also implement smart regulations, while providing access for adults, to safe, tested product. As a Floridian, I will be voting YES on Amendment 3 this November.”

The support for rescheduling cannabis under the Controlled Substances Act will allay some fears that a Trump administration could reverse progress on the issue that was initiated—but has not yet been completed—by the Biden administration.
