USA: Trump says he begins to “agree much more” with the legalization of cannabis

Donald Trump, former president of the United States of America (USA) and Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential elections, stated during a long press conference that he begins to “agree much more” with the legalization of cannabis, since the use of the plant is becoming increasingly legal in more states across the country, the Marijuana Moment.

It may have been a political maneuver by Trump to win votes in Florida, the state where he spoke and winked at supporters of the legalization of cannabis. “As we legalize, I start to agree a lot more because, you know, it’s being legalized across the country,” Trump said, as quoted by Marijuana Moment.

However, Trump did not advance any specific proposal, saying that, with the vote on Amendment 3 in Florida in November, he will “very soon” evaluate the effort to legalize cannabis for adult use in the Sunshine State, where he is a voter. “Florida has something coming. I will make a statement on this soon.”

In other words, for now it is not clear whether or not Trump will support the legalization of adult use of cannabis in Florida, but Trump made it clear that he wanted to convey greater openness regarding this issue.

“As we legalize across the country, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, it's very difficult to have people in prisons or who are in prison right now for something that's legal, so I think there's obviously a lot of sentiment in doing this,” he concluded. .
