“As a Floridian, I will be voting YES on Amendment 3 this November,” he added. “As President, we will continue to focus on research to unlock the medical uses of marijuana to a Schedule 3 drug, and work with Congress to pass common sense laws, including safe banking for state authorized companies, and supporting states rights to pass marijuana laws, like in Florida, that work so well for their citizens.”

“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 stated in a Fact Social submit on the time. “Whether people like it or not, this will happen through the approval of the Voters, so it should be done correctly.”
