The Amendment 3 ballot, if passed, would allow 21-and-over Floridians to possess up to three ounces of cannabis recreationally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Trump had previously teased that he would be supportive of Florida\u2019s ballot, this post seemingly firmed up his position on the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs 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\u2019 rights to pass marijuana laws, like in Florida, that work so well for their citizens,\u201d Trump wrote in his post.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This statement also goes along with his recent suggestions for decriminalizing marijuana. In addition, Trump said he supported federal legislation that would remove federal restrictions on banking services for state-legal marijuana businesses. This would help with allowing banks to legally provide things like loans and credit cards to marijuana-related businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trump also wants to move cannabis from Schedule I, the most restrictive category including substances such as heroin, to Schedule III, which regulates substances like anabolic steroids, within the Federal Controlled Substances Act.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This would be the first step to easing federal restrictions and furthering cannabis development and research that investigates marijuana\u2019s numerous health benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, the Drug Enforcement Administration has scheduled the hearing of the proposed rescheduling of marijuana\u2019s drug category until after the new presidential winner takes office, making the presidential candidate\u2019s stance even more imperative to voters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, many are still skeptical of his stance on legalizing cannabis, including his opponent, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/kamala-harris-history-with-cannabis-law-and-reform\/\">Kamala Harris<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Skepticism Surrounding His Recent Support to Legalize Cannabis<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harris has strongly criticized what appears to be a significant shift in Trump&#8217;s stance on legalizing marijuana as of late, stating he has instead pulled marijuana reform backward before now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As she pointed out recently, while Trump was in office, his Justice Department cracked down on non-violent marijuana offenses. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trump\u2019s former attorney general, Jeff Sessions, had a clear stance against marijuana and allowed federal prosecutors to pursue cannabis-related crimes even in states where it was legal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/harris-campaign-criticizes-trump-brazen-flip-flops-marijuana\/story?id=113301186\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report from ABC News<\/a> discusses how Trump withdrew guidelines that were legal under state laws, even proposing to remove medical marijuana protections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he was first running for president in 2016, his campaign said that he favored leaving the issue of legalizing cannabis to the states. But in 2021, the fiscal budget proposal did include removing these protections for state medical marijuana laws. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, he did also tentatively endorse a bipartisan bill that codified federal policies, respecting states\u2019 right to legalize.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some wonder if he is now trying to sway the younger voters and those in favor of legalizing cannabis, others think he simply may have evolved his stance since his time as President years ago. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is because of his formerly lost concern with marijuana issues in the past while focusing more on things like illegal immigration instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Where Trump Seems to Stand on Marijuana Legalization Today<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, politicians\u2019 positions on cannabis can, and do, change over the years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Harris\u2019s position seems a bit clearer going into the election, many are also pointing out that the Biden-Harris administration had its own mixed history when it came to laws and the legalization of marijuana.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kamala Harris has had an evolving position when it came to cannabis law and reform over the years. Back when Harris was California\u2019s Attorney General, she was on the other side of cannabis law reform, prosecuting cannabis-related crimes. There were more mixed views on cannabis law during her time as District Attorney since she opposed the 2010 measure to legalize marijuana in California, encouraging voters to reject the recreational use of cannabis in California. However, she did support the legal use of medical marijuana.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, during Harris\u2019s vice presidency, she supported movements like reclassifying marijuana and pardoning federally convicted Americans for marijuana possession. Her stance became more and more progressive as she climbed the federal office ranks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, she has made it clear in recent interviews that she doesn\u2019t believe \u201cpeople shouldn\u2019t have to go to jail for smoking weed\u201d and has still been vocally supportive of reclassifying marijuana.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Josh Glasstetter, a spokesperson for the advocacy group called the U.S. Cannabis Council, recently addressed the newsroom about Trump&#8217;s position on legalizing marijuana, saying he had \u201cclearly reassessed his position.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glasstetter reflected on how Republican officials have been slower to adopt their positions on marijuana as a whole.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor many years now, cannabis reform advocates have talked about the growing bipartisan consensus among voters in support of cannabis reform and elected officials have been a lagging indicator, particularly on the conservative side of the spectrum,\u201d Glasstetter said. He <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">also mentioned how Trump&#8217;s recent support in favor of legalizing marijuana could be a crucial step in getting more Republicans to change their position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trump recently wrote on Truth Social, stating, \u201cIt is time to end needless arrests and incarcerations of adults for small amounts of marijuana for personal use.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, Ohio legalized recreational marijuana, making it the largest \u201cred state\u201d to legalize cannabis recreationally. Currently, that means cannabis is now legal in some capacity in almost 40 states.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, this marks the first instance where both presidential candidates from opposing political parties were in support of positive cannabis reform. Trump\u2019s announcement to vote in favor of legalizing recreational marijuana in Florida aligns him with President Joe Biden&#8217;s positive stance on marijuana reform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It begs the question of whether Trump\u2019s support for legalizing recreational marijuana in his home state will help the electoral margins since marijuana is popular across all political parties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this point, Trump\u2019s vote in favor of legalizing recreational marijuana in Florida is largely considered good news and a step forward for cannabis supporters across America.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump, who is currently the 2024 Presidential nominee for the Republican party, recently made a statement that gives us insight regarding his current stance on marijuana legalization.
