Donald Trump has indicated his backing for a potential groundbreaking federal policy change to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug, aligning his stance with that of Democratic opponent Kamala Harris. This shift reflects a significant move towards widespread public support for legalization in recent years, marking the first time both major-party presidential candidates endorse broad cannabis reform, as per the U.S. Cannabis Council.
The Republican nominee announced on social media his intention to focus on research to explore the medical applications of marijuana by reclassifying it as a Schedule 3 drug. He also expressed support for a proposal in Florida to permit the sale of marijuana to adults for any purpose.
