Former President Donald Trump has announced his support for Florida's Amendment 3, which seeks to legalize recreational marijuana. Trump expressed his belief that the measure is likely to pass in the upcoming November ballot. He emphasized that while he supports the legalization of marijuana for personal use, he advocates for a ban on public cannabis smoking due to concerns about its smell. Trump's stance marks a notable divergence from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who opposes marijuana legalization. Trump also highlighted the need to end arrests and incarcerations for simple marijuana possession, arguing that taxpayer dollars should not be wasted on such actions.
