Trump selects Marco Rubio as Secretary of State amid cannabis policy concerns

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Florida Senator Marco Rubio as his Secretary of State. Trump described Rubio as a "highly respected leader" and a "powerful voice for freedom." Rubio has a history of opposing federal cannabis legalization, citing concerns about it being a "gateway" drug. He has previously stated that decriminalizing cannabis sends the wrong message to young people. While Rubio has shown some openness to medical cannabis, he remains against recreational use. His past comments suggest he may not support significant changes to cannabis policy under his new role.
