In a recent TruthSocial post, former President Donald Trump expressed his expectation that Amendment 3, a ballot measure aimed at legalizing marijuana in Florida, will pass. However, Trump also called for the state legislature to create laws to prevent the public use of the drug.

Trump highlighted that several states have already approved the personal use of marijuana, including Florida where Amendment 3 seeks to legalize the drug for adults. Emphasizing the need for the measure to be implemented correctly, Trump stated that it will happen through the approval of the voters.

Drawing on his "Make America Safe Again" agenda, Trump argued against criminalizing marijuana and the unnecessary use of taxpayer dollars for arresting individuals in possession of small amounts. He also expressed concern about the potential dangers of fentanyl-laced marijuana, highlighting the importance of ensuring public safety.

The marijuana ballot measure, if approved, would grant individuals aged 21 and above the right to possess, purchase, and use marijuana and related accessories for personal non-medical consumption.

The Florida Supreme Court had already ruled in April to allow the measure to be included on the 2024 ballot, indicating growing support for the legalization of marijuana.

Meanwhile, Trump's stance on another ballot measure in Florida, which aims to guarantee a constitutional right to abortion in the state, had drawn attention earlier. After initially causing confusion with his comments on abortion, Trump clarified his position on the matter. He stated that he would be voting "no" on Amendment 4, which would permit abortions beyond the five-month mark of pregnancy.

The former president's clarification came after concerns were raised by anti-abortion rights groups, including Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, who pointed out that voting for Amendment 4 would contradict Trump's consistent opposition to abortions after the five-month threshold.

As the debate around these ballot measures intensifies, Floridians will ultimately decide the fate of marijuana legalization and abortion rights through their votes in future elections. The proposals reflect the evolving social landscape and call for responsible legislation that balances personal freedoms with public safety.
