Being a big 10th amendment guy, I'm sure he will look for the authority in the US Constitution, to even be involved.

I hope Trump closes all the pot businesses. Capitalism has gone too far and it is time for some Socialist control over the marketplace. Ban pot business!

For the simple reason none of his fans will admit: MONEY. Cannabis is legalized in Nevada, where Trump owns casinos. Do you REALLY think he will hurt his potential future profits or hurt the businesses owned by his rich allies?

Trump will tell Secessions to "prioritize" and he will have him ignore cannabis legalization, or maybe enforce some feel-good laws that will limit cannabis to some degree.

Unlike immigrants, cannabis is a business with dollars at stake. Sad to say, but that is what will make Trump back away from this one for the most part.


And even if he does, there is only so much he can do. He can't order local police to arrest people, and the federal government does not have the cash to make arrests left and right in the states, and the Senate sure as hell will not provide money for that. You'll see cannabis sales going from storefronts to craigslist ads with little change.

Establishing national policy is not micro managing.

We've got bigger issues than supplying pothead dopers...

Get that wall built and slow down cartel grows
Then one by one take out all the small players
Then make winners and losers
Invest in addiction clinics...Which are hot right now
Capitalism at its best

You mean regarding the Immigration? Surely he would not try to have it both ways.

Federal laws are Federal laws. You mean they can be enforced only in DC?
