So which is it with the lunatics on the left? Will they protest over what they think Trump might do as president, or are they going to wait until after he acts on an issue by signing it into law, and then support or object to his actions?

What is it with the apparently blind to reality Trumpies who act as if he's actually acted on this issue?

I don't know. I think he likes the idea of locking people up.

Actually, he told Duterte that the Philipino way is the right way, which is to murder drug users.

This is not his issue but one caused by the Obama admin turning a blind eye, Holder and Lynch should have been enforcing these laws for the very reason we are having this discussion. It's not the AG's prerogative to pick and choose what laws to enforce, why bother having a Congress? You now have a letter of the law AG and he's left holding the bag.....

In any event I loved his answer, it shows he has respect for the laws whatever they may be.

We still will have rapists and murders to house but for locking up non-violent pot offenders I'm in!
Most people I know who smoke pot are non-violent hardworking individuals who pay their taxes too ...more than I can say about Al Sharpton and most of the liberal Hollywood crowd.We can lower federal taxes by reducing the federal government and giving the states more responsibility and power to do what the Founding Father's wanted.
Read Jefferson and be enlightened on the roll of the federal government verses the rights of the individual and the states of the union.With more federal government you lessen the liberty of all.

I'll believe it when I see it, but if Trump does this, he will gain a few points in my book.

How about we all wait and see what happens instead of getting our panties in a wad over what might happen?

“The United States Congress has made the possession of marijuana in every state, and distribution of it, an illegal act,” Sen. Sessions testified. “If that’s something is not desired any longer, Congress should pass a law to change the rule.”

Trump Attorney General Pick Says Congress Needs To Legalize Cannabis

Sean Spicer, President Donald Trump’s Press Secretary, has confirmed previous reports that Jim O’Neil is being considered to lead the Food and Drug Administration.

O’Neil is not only a strong supporter of legalizing marijuana, he has actively worked towards it as a Board of Directors member for the Coalition for Cannabis Policy Reform, which helped legalized cannabis in California.

Good now he should legalize all drugs. And it would be better if the government was hands off and didn't tax it. Just leave it up to the market

Hold on we didn't vote for the guy who insists that he is the most popular president who had the biggest crowd ever. ( both unproven)
That would be you non thinkers who refused to believe that he was a self centered blowhard, know it all.

He's your guy to defend.

BTW I didn't riot, protest or threaten to blow up the white house.
