Former President Donald Trump advocated for legislation in Florida that would prevent marijuana from being used in public spaces, adding that people did not need to smell it everywhere.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump spoke about Florida’s Amendment 3, which would allow adults 21 and older to possess, buy, or use marijuana for non-medical reasons.
Trump noted that in an effort to make sure marijuana legalization is “done correctly,” the State Legislature needed to “responsibly create laws that prohibit” marijuana from being used in public spaces, “so we do not smell marijuana everywhere we go.”

Marijuana smells like skunk and gives my a headache.
Exactly.
Who wants to smell skunk spray, everywhere?
Smoke in your own crib/pad/apartment, whatever.
The communists are all for weed everywhere, all the time.
We should probably figure out why that is.
When we do figure that out we will probably find that this is not at all in our best interests.
> Marijuana is as touchy as a subject as abortion for some people <
Yes. Perhaps it’s best for Trump to not go there. Plus, smoking marijuana in a public place is a state issue. Not the business of any federal official.
Nothing wrong with this stance from my perspective. Tobacco was villainized and restricted widely. Even though I smoke, I don't want to inconvenience others with my use within reason.
Yes. it’s unbearable for me. Old cigarette smoke is yucky also.
Now pipe tobacco aroma is fine but a little goes a long way.
What about patchouli oil?
Very annoying to my daughter and granddaughter when they want to use their back yard. When I visit, I often say out loud "Gosh, it stinks next door!". I've let the guy know I disapprove of his politics and lifestyle.
Some cars pass me going 80 MPH on our local highway, and even with my windows up, I can smell weed coming from them for hundreds of yards afterwards. The stuff available today is super-potent.
Lots of people vape THC, so there is no Skunky smell. There is still a “fruity” smell from the various vape “flavors” so every public place STINKS!!!
It makes perfect sense. A stoned population is not a hostile population.
The same people who would ban smoking are typically OK with kids being allowed to smoke pot. What’s the fun, anyway, of smoking something that’s legal?
If smoking marijuana is a state issue, shouldn’t smoking tobacco also be left to the states?
He just lost the Black male vote.
I don’t like drugs, but I don’t believe in prohibition. People should be given good and accurate information but be free to live their lives.
If they commit a crime while high, it’s not a factor in reducing sentences.

Wow, what a great question. I want to say yes. But suppose some goofy state wants to lower the age to buy cigarettes to 12? Or legalize heroin?
At some point I’d want the Feds to step in. But I also respect the much-ignored 10th Amendment. Tough call…
Potheads are even more annoying since legalization. Friggen dorks. I hope they get monkey pox from gay pot sex.
