Trump Supports Florida Marijuana Amendment 3

Former President Donald Trump has announced his support for Florida's Amendment 3, which seeks to legalize recreational marijuana for adults over 21. Trump stated he will vote 'yes' on the measure, emphasizing the need to end 'needless arrests and incarcerations' for small amounts of marijuana. He also supports reclassifying marijuana to a Schedule III drug and implementing safe banking laws for state-authorized cannabis businesses. This stance aligns Trump with the majority of the American public but puts him at odds with Florida's Republican Governor Ron DeSantis and other GOP leaders who oppose the measure. Trump's position marks a significant shift in federal marijuana policy, as he aims to work with Congress on broader cannabis reform if re-elected. The announcement comes ahead of a crucial debate with Democratic opponent Kamala Harris, who also supports decriminalizing marijuana.
