Decriminalize ALL drugs. Punish people for crimes. It is NOT a crime to choose to ingest, inhale or inject whatever one chooses, just because someone else says they "don't like" whatever an individual chooses.
Decriminalizing rather than legalizing allows people to choose whatever they want without having to PAY others for permission via some psycho takings SIN tax simply because others "don't like" what they are doing.
Particularly when it comes to personal recreational marijuana use.
It is already banned nationally. Obama admin refused to enforce the law, and so far Gump admin has also refused to enforce the laws to (contrary to what they promised).
From my perspective everyone who wants to smoke does so and has good access to it. Its the; production, buying and selling where the government comes into play. I think in some parts of the country growers and dealers want to keep it illegal.
Maybe Donny really is a conservative, it would be typical conservative behavior that while talking about less h=government spending, having NO problem spending on your own agenda.

I see little/no reason to believe the left hand of this administration has any idea what the right hand is doing.

I don't think it'll sit well with boomers either.

I think legalization has large bipartisan support and it would be a big mistake if Trump goes after it.
According to Pew and Gallop, 60% favor legalization of marijuana, including 40% of Republicans.
Legalization would remove the funding source for a good percentage of the criminal activity in the nation.
Taxing it would bring in needed funding for infrastructure, etc. and reduce the cost of courts and incarcerations.
If Trump signed the EO tomorrow, I predict his poll numbers would shoot up.
We'd all get high and forget about that Russian nonsense, which is hard enough to figure out when you're straight let alone stoned.
