Felon Says He’ll Vote For Florida Legal Weed Measure

Florida Politics reports:

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is reiterating his support for recreational pot. The Florida voter posted on Truth Social that he will vote for Amendment 3, explicitly making clear that his vote could help the measure reach the 60% threshold to pass.

“As I have previously stated, I believe it is time to end needless arrests and incarcerations of adults for small amounts of marijuana for personal use,” Trump posted.

Trump’s position puts him clearly at odds with Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has campaigned aggressively against legalizing marijuana. Citadel CEO and billionaire Ken Griffin has also invested $12 million in a campaign against the measure, which will be chaired by DeSantis Chief of Staff James Uthmeier.

It’s official. Trump backs marijuana legalization on Florida’s ballot, putting him athwart DeSantis and billionaire Ken Griffin, who’s moving his financial empire to Miami & is spreading money all over the—including a no-on-3 campaign pic.twitter.com/gGliBuWmt5
