“I believe it is time to put an end to the unnecessary arrests and incarcerations of adults for small amounts of marijuana for personal use.”
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said he supports a referendum proposal to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in Florida for adults over 21.
This statement was made on the social networking platform Truth Social late Sunday. In late August, Trump hinted that he was open to legalizing the recreational use of marijuana in the state.
Trump has expressed his support for the so-called Amendment 3, although some Republicans, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSandis, have come out against the measure.
“As I have stated before, I believe it is time to end the unnecessary arrests and incarcerations of adults for small amounts of marijuana for personal use,” Trump wrote. “As a resident of Florida, I will be voting YES on Amendment 3 this November,” he added.
In his post, Trump also appeared to endorse legislative efforts, continuing from his 2017-2021 term, to make it easier for banks to service cannabis businesses operating legally in the state.
