Republican candidate Donald Trump took to his own social media page to criticize marijuana laws that allow smokers to light up in public, similar to what is permitted in some areas of New York City.
The staunch conservative told his followers on Trump Social that if elected, he plans to make “America safe again” by creating laws banning the use of cannabis and marijuana in public.
In New York, adults 21 and older are allowed to smoke or vape cannabis in most places where tobacco smoking is permitted.
Trump also revealed that while he supports legalizing marijuana in Florida under Amendment 3, he remains concerned about how it will be used statewide.
The former president said someone who carries “personal amounts” of marijuana should not be a criminal in one state when its use is legal in another.
Republican candidate Donald Trump told supporters on Trump Social that if elected, he plans to make “America safe again” by creating laws banning the use of cannabis and marijuana in public.
‘As everyone knows, I was and will be the most respected law-and-order president in American history. We will take back our streets by being tough and smart in the face of violent crime and all kinds of crime.
‘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. Whether people like it or not, this will happen with voter approval, so it needs to be done right.
“We need the state legislature to responsibly create laws prohibiting its use in public spaces, so that we don’t smell marijuana everywhere, as happens in many cities governed by Democrats.”
‘At the same time, no one should be a criminal in Florida, when this is legal in so many other states.
“We don’t have to ruin lives or waste taxpayer dollars arresting adults carrying personal amounts of marijuana, and no one should mourn a loved one who died from fentanyl-laced marijuana. We will make America SAFE again!” he wrote.

Trump, who is voting near his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, had previously avoided clarifying his position on the issue.
With his latest statement, he has apparently antagonized Gov. Ron DeSantis and most of the state’s Republican leaders, who are working to defeat the proposal.
But his belief that cannabis should be legalized responsibly in Florida is not the only policy that stands in stark contrast to that of other leaders.
Earlier this week, she signaled she might vote to end Florida’s ban on abortion at six weeks of pregnancy when it comes up in a referendum later this year, as she continues her delicate dance around a key election issue.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, he teased an upcoming announcement on his voting stance by saying he did not think six weeks was enough time.
Trump spoke to DailyMail.com about a range of topics, from Kamala Harris and the 2024 campaign, to his family and life after nearly being shot by an assassin.
Trump fueled concerns among his anti-abortion allies with this post last week when he used the language of opponents when referring to women and their “reproductive rights.”
But he stopped short of committing to using the presidential veto if a nationwide federal ban reached his desk as president, even though his running mate said he would.
In office, Trump reveled in being the most pro-life president in history and took credit for ending federal abortion protections by installing conservative justices on the Supreme Court who overturned Roe v Wade.
This time, he’s trying to keep both sides happy on one of the election’s most divisive issues by saying it’s up to states to decide their own laws.
“Well, I know, but I want more than six weeks,” she said in her ornate Mar-a-Lago living room. “I want more than six weeks.”
“I think six weeks is a mistake. And I will express this soon, but I want more than six weeks.
“And in Florida, we have a six-week program, and that’s what I think they’re voting for, and I think it should be longer than six weeks.”
Trump has expressed reservations about such an early ban in the past, but has so far sidestepped questions about how he will vote in the Florida referendum.
