Former President Donald Trump says he is starting to “agree a lot more” that people should not be criminalized over marijuana given that it’s “being legalized all over the country,” adding that he will “fairly soon” reveal his position on the canna legalization measure on the November ballot in Florida, where he is a voter.
“As we legalize it, I start to agree a lot more because, you know, it’s being legalized all over the country,” Trump said at a press conference at Mar-a-Lago Thursday. “Florida has something coming up. I’ll be making a statement about that fairly soon.”
The former President would be a welcomed ally as the industry battles Governor Ron DeSantis and his newest lapdog, Ken Griffin,over the Florida Nov. ballot initiative.
Across the Aisle
VP Kamala Harris and her new running mate Gov. Tim Walz just became the first major party ticket to support federal legalization of cannabis. Harris, who prosecuted canna offenders as a prosecutor, has since used her position in the Senate and Oval Office to push pro-cannabis legislation.
Walz, who has a strong history of supporting cannabis reform, including signing the bill to make adult use of cannabis legal in Minnesota, is equally on board.
“The War on Drugs was an abject failure. It’s time to legalize marijuana and bring justice to people of color harmed by failed drug policies.” VP Kamala Harris
