Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced his support for legalizing marijuana in the state of Florida, but said that it should be banned from being consumed in public.

Trump made the remarks in a post on Truth Social Saturday afternoon in response to Amendment 3, which will be on the ballot this fall.

“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,” he said. “Whether people like it or not, this will happen through the approval of the Voters, so it should be done correctly. We need the State Legislature to responsibly create laws that prohibit the use of it in public spaces, so we do not smell marijuana everywhere we go, like we do in many of the Democrat run Cities.”

He said that using marijuana should no longer be criminalized in the state of Florida considering that it is legal in some other states.

“We do not need to ruin lives & waste Taxpayer Dollars arresting adults with personal amounts of it on them, and no one should grieve a loved one because they died from fentanyl laced marijuana,” he said.

“As everyone knows, I was, and will be again, the most respected LAW & ORDER President in U.S. History,” he added. “We will take our streets back by being tough & smart on violent, & all other types, of Crime.”

Floridians will have the opportunity to vote “yes” or “no” on the measure this fall, with the measure needing 60% to pass.

If passed, estimates show that legalizing marijuana could generate between $200 million and $430 million a year in tax revenues for the state.

At least half a dozen U.S. soldiers were injured during an operation against ISIS in Iraq late this week that resulted in more than a dozen Islamic terrorists being terminated from the battlefield.

The Associated Press reported that a U.S. defense official said that seven U.S. soldiers were injured during the raids.

None of the injuries were described as “life-threatening,” NBC News reported. Multiple officials told the network that several of the soldiers suffered traumatic brain injuries — likely from a blast — and one soldier suffered “external injuries.”

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement that the U.S. conducted the raid in a joint operation with Iraqi Security Forces in Western Iraq during the early hours on Thursday, resulting in the deaths of 15 ISIS terrorists.

“The ISIS element was armed with numerous weapons, grenades, and explosive ‘suicide’ belts,” CENTCOM said. “This operation targeted ISIS leaders to disrupt and degrade ISIS’ ability to plan, organize, and conduct attacks against Iraqi civilians, as well as U.S. citizens, allies, and partners throughout the region and beyond.”

Iraqi Security Forces were continuing to gather intelligence from the locations that were raided, the statement said.

“ISIS remains a threat to the region, our allies, as well as our homeland,” the statement continued. “U.S. CENTCOM alongside our coalition and Iraqi partners, will continue to aggressively pursue these terrorists.”

The statement said that there was no indication of any civilians being hurt.
