Former President Donald Trump says hes in favor of a Florida ballot measure that would legalize recreational marijuana in the state.

In a post on his social media platform Truth Social , Trump, a Florida voter, came out in support of Amendment 3 , a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would legalize recreational cannabis use for those 21 years and older.

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, Trump posted on Saturday . Whether people like it or not, this will happen through the approval of the Voters, so it should be done correctly.

Trump said there should still be laws in the state that would prohibit using marijuana in public spaces so we do not smell marijuana everywhere we go, like we do in many of the Democrat run Cities, he went on.

Residents will vote on the ballot initiative in November. While polls have shown residents in the state are mostly in favor of the amendment, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has come out against legalization.

This is bad policy and even worse constitutional law, DeSantis posted on social media earlier this week.

Trump said Florida residents shouldnt be criminalized for something legal in 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, Trump posted. We will make America SAFE again!
