I wouldn't be surprised if weed-legal states become a thing of the past by the end of January.
I hope he chooses to focus his attention on the HEROIN states. That's our real drug problem at the moment.

The more interesting alliance that could come about is the "potheads" buddying up with the folks that acquitted Bundy and his pack. Strange bedfellows, different agendas but same adversary if it came down to it. That's something Trump really doesn't need. Maybe the smartest thing for him to do would be to 'grandfather' status.

I am not much into 'what if' let us see what President Trump proposes before getting everyone arguing over 'what if'........seems like a waste of time and energy.


Though many will entertain with their response on 'what if'....

I don't think Trump really cares about any partisianship . He is on record saying he would tax and regulate weed . I do drink alcohol , I don't smoke weed . I did when I was younger but it's just not my thing .it's basically harmless . Less government!!

who cares? Laws are not black and white, concrete, set in stone. Silly laws are meant to be broken. I do not follow every law just because it's a law. I use common sense and my brain, something that big brother doesn't really want you to do I understand, that's why they don't teach critical thinking skills in school...

Lol. You think Republicans don't smoke weed? It's probably one of the few issues where there is a meeting of the minds.

If they start shutting down legal weed, they will have a revolution on their hands. And btw, there are some wealthy investors--(Republicans and Dems---no matter)--who have big money in growing crops and the weed industry, because they are aware of the profit potential. Bigly.

Funny.

Colorado was blue before we voted for legalization.

And your idol has said that he believes it's a states right issue, so don't hold your breath hoping for some sort of payback that would backfire bigly in any event.

More realistically, Trumpie will see how much money the states are raking in and try to get in on the action.

The man has never missed an opportunity to brand anything, has he?

This is why I voted Libertarian. I am pro-legalization of weed. I don't smoke it. However, I don't want people being locked up for smoking marijuana. It is a stupid thing to do.

So... essentially you think it's a good thing for the federal government to come in and damage the economies of states who are not generally viewed as being republican? You think that's good?

If it's not clear, I think you're a terrible human being. Like, truly awful. Repugnantly disgusting. Probably think of yourself as a small government conservative and are incapable of seeing the irony of that.

I'm a terrible human being for stating a fact, that Trump has some leverage over weed states... got it.

And you wonder why your side lost...
