BREAKING: FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP SUPPORTS AMENDMENT 3 IN FLORIDA
(Orlando, FL) – Today, in a post on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump expressed his support for ending arrests and incarcerations of adults for simple marijuana possession and the proper implementation of Amendment 3. Former President Trump agrees with the majority of Floridians that to truly be the Free State of Florida, we must have the same individual freedoms as the majority of Americans and put an end to the arrest and incarceration of adults for simple possession of marijuana.
Smart & Safe Florida supporter Sen. Joe Gruters, former Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, issued the following statement:
“I am incredibly proud to have President Trump stand alongside us in our effort to end needless arrests and incarcerations of adults for simple possession of marijuana and to give Floridians the same individual freedom to choose safe, tested products that more than half the country already enjoys,” said Florida State Sen. Joe Gruters. “Our shared goals to expand our freedoms and keep Floridians safe from fentanyl-laced marijuana from the illicit market is why Amendment 3 has broad support and will pass in November. President Trump’s call for smart implementation is exactly why I filed a bill to prevent smoking in public. Marijuana should be consumed at home, and I will work alongside my colleagues in the legislature to ensure Florida does this right.”
