Former President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested he supports decriminalizing marijuana, noting that cannabis is “being legalized all over the country.”Trump made the comments during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, adding that he will announce his position on a ballot measure to legalize marijuana in Florida “fairly soon.”

“As we legalize it, I start to agree a lot more because, you know, it’s being legalized all over the country,” Trump said, according to a report from Marijuana Moment. “Florida has something coming up. I’ll be making a statement about that fairly soon.”

Trump made his comments after a reporter asked him about the Biden administration’s efforts to reclassify marijuana under federal drug laws and presumed Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris’ repeated assertion that people should not be incarcerated for low-level marijuana offenses.

“As we legalize it throughout the country—whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing—it’s awfully hard to have people all over the jails that are in jail right now for something that’s legal,” Trump replied. “So I think obviously there’s a lot of sentiment to doing that.”
