$MJ Almost 6 Months Into Trump Presidency, Little
Post# of 3448
Whenever Trump or Sessions has made an anti-marijuana remark, the blowback has been swift and loud, with Sessions himself stating in April that he’s been “surprised” that Americans aren’t embracing his anti-marijuana positions. Because of this, Sessions may never get the chance to shutdown state marijuana laws, as he would clearly like to do.
The Trump Administration’s anti-cannabis rhetoric also hasn’t prevented lawmakers from embracing reform on the national level. In February a bipartisan group of lawmakers launched the Congressional Cannabis Caucus, and multiple pro-marijuana measure have been introduced. In the meantime, legal marijuana sales recently began in Nevada, the fifth state where anyone 21 and older can purchase cannabis (with sales beginning in three more states by next year).
All of this said, no one truly knows what will happen in the coming days and months; the Trump Administration could announce tomorrow that they’re starting a federal crackdown on state marijuana laws. But most likely, this will never happen. (cont'd)
