Former President Donald Trump backed the legalization of marijuana in his current home state of Florida on Saturday.

Trump, the GOP presidential nominee in November's election, voiced his support for allowing Florida residents to have "personal amounts" of weed in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, on Saturday morning.

"As everyone knows, I was, and will be again, the most respected LAW & ORDER President in U.S. History. We will take our streets back by being tough & smart on violent, & all other types, 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 through the approval of the Voters, so it should be done correctly," Trump said.

Trump said he wants Florida lawmakers to ban the use of weed in public spaces. However, he doesn't think people should be criminalized for having "personal amounts" of marijuana on them.
