What has Trump said about cannabis?
Two months prior to the election, Trump released a statement that significantly aligned him with both the Biden administration and his opponent, Vice President Harris.

“I believe it is time to end needless arrests and incarcerations of adults for small amounts of marijuana for personal use. We must also implement smart regulations, while providing access for adults, to safe, tested product.” he said in a post on Truth Social.
