The order to place cannabis in the same category as Tylenol with codeine would mark the most significant change in US drug policy since 1971.

    Trump says a lot of things that he does not do.

      I wouldn’t be surprised by this one, actually. This is the kind of populist policy change that he can try to hide behind during midterms, plus the cannabis industry has more and more money behind it every single year. Opening up larger markets gives him and his cronies opportunities to get in first and dominate the market, similar to his crypto policies and business plays. You know, naked corruption.

      Remember when Jimmy Carter had to put his family farm in a blind trust? Yeah…

        Even if he does a not-bad thing, it’s because we attack him. Gotta keep it up.
