Have it regulated like alcohol and tobacco, no driving under the influence, no smoking in places that don’t allow smoking, don’t sell to kids, otherwise no problems
Indeed. It really is simple and logical. Something that conservatives heavily screwed up on in the past. Would be glorious if Trump corrected it, and yanked the one and only thing that the Dems have to run their platform on that will actually sway votes. Trump would win in a landslide.
This is smart. Canada fell to that commie Trudeau/Castro because he promised to legalize pot. Look at Canada now. It's the laughing stock of the world. The pot smokers are zealous - they'll even rouse themselves to vote if it means legalizing pot.
I had mixed feelings about legalization because I have seen a lot of damage done to people; however, friends educated me about CBD oil, which I now make for elderly family & myself. The benefits are real.
How about no. The federal government has no business in it, declassify entirely. How do you let the States decide on it if it is still illegal but "decriminalized"?
Make it legal everywhere for medical use. Then make it so it is NOT illegal federally so the states can decide if they want recreational use. Its giving the power back to the states.
Fuck the states. Give power to the individual. Or rather they should take it.
No state has the power to infringe on natural rights, which drug use clearly is. Enumerating the bill of rights leads people to believe we only have 10 natural rights.
Some states infringe on the 2nd, yet i doubt you will claim that is a good thing “due to power being at the state level”
What state level shit should do is specifics to running their regional government, like education, instead of federal mandates. Education is pushing it, as state sponsored education also sucks.
There are certain things the states do not have the power to do. Search you without probable cause is one of those things. And there are certain reasons they do not have the power to do those things. A lot of thought went into that.
If you think about drugs, they are just compounds people choose to consume. Why should we give power to regulate that to the states? Why do states not have the power to ban firearms?
Individual liberty is above states rights. Everything isn't "states rights". Some things are just nobody's business but mine.
I agree with this. Even though Marijuana is objectively safer than alcohol, and I support people using if they want, living where it's legal (recreationally) is disgusting. The smell is everywhere, all the time. It sticks to everything!
States should be allowed to ban or restrict it how they want, simply for how fucking disgusting it is lol.
That would seal the deal for 2020. The dems would be left with their mouths hanging open saying, "That was our move".
Declassify would please most, and it isn't federally "legalizing" which would be yet another example of the federal government taking power away from the states. Historians will remember that the size & scope of the federal govt used to be flipped up until Lincoln. To free the slaves from the democrats, he had to increase the size and expand federal power bigly. if it was 80/20 states/federal, its probably 20/80 now.
It's just like DACA, an executive order to specifically not enforce an extant law. The problem with that is that a future president can use an executive order to remove a previous executive order.
Unless that president is being blocked by a 9th circuit judge or a supreme court decision.
The only caveat is that law enforcement would have trouble proving people were driving under the influence. Otherwise it seems reasonable to allow but treat like cigarettes.
All they would have to do is carry a bag of Doritos around with them. If the driver can get through questioning without saying, "Are you going to open those, or what?", then they pass.
A field sobriety test for THC is easy. The officer slowly unwraps a Little Debbie snack cake and watches the reaction of the motorist in question. Will work every time.
I've never smoked anything in my entire 30+ years of existence and think it's a dumb thing to do to your body but I'm a libertarian and have voted for the pro marijuana legalization every chance I've gotten.
Same here. I support decriminalizing, legalizing, de scheduling whatever you want to call it. I’ve seen how it helps people with certain medical conditions and others who use it recreationally, just like people like to relax with alcohol. Everything in moderation. Time to end the nanny state.
Dude. ANYTHING, (dust of any sort and smoke of any kind) is dangerous to your lungs. Involuntary coughing is your body telling you to knock it off. I imagine eating cookies would be much safer. Having said that, I will relate to you that all the people I know that developed problems from smoking tobacco, smoked more than a half pack a day and I'm thinking you don't smoke that equivalent.
That's one of the reasons I started this thread. I knew it would be a somewhat divisive topic, but I wanted to show the world how two differing views can cooperate with each other.
I’m glad you did. It’s something that needs to be discussed and considered. Older folk endured decades of anti-Cannabis propaganda, hence why we still have some people that don’t want it legalized. When in all reality, it’s much much less harsh and safer than alcohol and cigarettes, yet people in some states are still tossed in jail for it. If someone wants to grow and utilize a harmless plant in the comfort of their home, they should be allowed to.
Write the WhiteHouse with how you feel about it! Tweet about it to the President. Get the word out. Trumplicans/Conservatives can be pro legalization as well. Enough with the police state/constant government intervention. This is America. Land of the FREE.
My parents were very anti pot for years! Now they have a small grow op in their basement, LOL, herbs drying upstairs that "give the house an interesting aroma" & we are making our own CBD tinctures, oils & creams for medicinal use.
We have all experienced health benefits from using it medicinally. As for using it to get high, I don't want to meet someone driving on the highway high or drunk. Moderation is the key.
Simply a matter of personal freedom and state rights. I would definitely be on board with Trump legalizing it federally and letting the states decide for themselves.
This is why it needs to be fixed federally - you would no longer be "an unlawful user" to the federal government, and it would no longer be a controlled substance.
Trump has already legalized hemp through the farm bill....he is most likely going to win 2020 without the cannabis issue. Taking decriminalization from the Democrats promising to legalize/decriminalize it federally, would seal his presidency and he’d go down as the greatest president ever, in many peoples mind.
Trump, the founding father 2.0, who also legalized cannabis. MAGAJUANA!!!
I personally don’t smoke it anymore, but people have the right to do it if they chose. Out here in cuckistain where I live it’s legal so it’s all over the place. Too many lives have been ruined over wanting to get high off a mostly harmless drug (well, watch out doritos) look up kyle myers for an example. They destroyed over $400,000 in guns that he owned all because he had a little weed, now his second amendment right is vanished. Total bullshit.
It's evil, especially when alcohol takes so many lives, is addictive, and requires quite a chemical process to make. Weed... You just grow. And I don't partake myself either.
Indeed. People should be allowed to grow a naturally occurring harmless plant in the comfort of their own home if they like. This is America isn’t it? Land of the free? Sick of the government intervention into everything.
Masspede here, it's already legal up here, and recreational dispensaries are opening up all over. They are crazy busy. Lines of cars, overflowing lots, people traveling from all over. Some have satellite lots and shuttles. What I'm saying is, it is a CASH COW. Someone is going to be getting a shit ton of cash to infuse into politics, and my guess is it won't be going to the right. All liberal states will legalize it, and fatten their war chests when they get wind of the bonanza happening up here.
This is the one and only thing my terrible state 'that shall not be named' has done correctly... I think if trump were to pull out a surprise reschedule/deschedule ahead of 2020, that it'd pretty much guarantee re-election. Here's hoping!
It'd also be kind of funny to watch salty libs twist themselves into knots over this and overnight start sounding like Sessions.
I think it's hilarious that as an NH resident I can go across the border into MA to hit a dispensary and legally purchase weed for recreational use...but to do that I have to leave my daily carry behind because THAT'S illegal.
It really is back-asswards. Cannabis is something that the US government really screwed up. It should’ve never been made illegal. It was all about control and whom was influencing politics (Big Pharma/Alcohol/Tobacco/Prisons)... and it was all legitimized by constant anti-Cannabis propaganda being pushed.
Before 1937 cannabis was regularly prescribed by US doctors. The name was changed to marijuana, it was made illegal & the propaganda was started by the usual suspects you named.
I support legalizing because it will help to choke out the cartels. But at the same time I don't want the filthy government to get control over it because you know they will increase taxes on it over time like they did with tobacco.
Choking out the Cartels is a pipe dream (no pun intended).
While they still make a goodly amount of cash from weed, they have diversified. Meth, heroin, human trafficking, money laundering, and a shitload of other illegal enterprises are there to fill the void. More meth is made in Mexico now than was EVER made in trailer parks by toothless rednecks.
Here on the border a pound of weed is cheap. Economics of scale make it far more profitable for the same mules to hump a backpack full of meth than a backpack full of weed. An SUV stuffed with weed might be worth 100K. That same SUV stuffed with meth or fentanyl is worth millions.
ElderPede here: Whatever they do, it must be market driven. I have a medical card and the price the State charges is way over the top. Even counting for inflation, the price for an once shouldn't be more than $100.00/OZ. I would pay $480.00 if bought from the State. $480.00? That may not be a big deal to someone who's still working, but to me, (on a fixed income) it's a lot.
Ditto here (66). Florida MMJ patient. The problem here with pricing I believe is multi-faceted. 1) Vertical integration business model imposed by the state adds cost due to the inability to outsource any part of their production or importing any product from an outside source; 2) at this early stage of the program's maturity, demand continues to outpace supply - coincidentally due to 1) above. These factors, No. 2 in particular inflate the cost of product to the consumer/patient.
The only way that I can reasonably afford it is to use a single dispensary that offers a 20% Veteran discount and another 10% for loyalty points accumulation.
I actually can’t believe that Obama never rescheduled it. I guess he was afraid he’d be ridiculed as a stereotype or something, lol. That guy was so bad he couldn’t even find the easy wins.
I'm 63 years old and I support full Federal marijuana legalization with no exceptions besides age.
I've smoked it daily for 45 years, have all my mental faculties and no health issues from it.
Everything you have ever heard about pot is wrong. Even the new "stronger" varieties. Edibles are the only thing I would be cautious about.
Legalisation would allow regular citizens to grow it, sell it, cook with it, open pot bars and restaurants, brew beer with it, make alcohol with it, creating millions of jobs beyond the farming aspects.
That’s amazing. Thank you for your comment. I didn’t touch it for years due to all of the anti-Cannabis propaganda and ill-informed people saying it was basically the devils lettuce lol. Tried it for first time last year and boy was I wrong. Such an interesting and amazing plant.
I’m goin on about thirty years myself, and I also still have all my mental faculties. In fact I’ve found that once my brain rewired itself around the “haze” from smoking cannabis, it’s a very thoughtful drug.
I am 100% Trumplican, and I am also 100% for federal level legalization across the board (medical, recreational, and growing your own at home). This plant is harmless, less damaging than alcohol, and provides quite a few medical benefits for some people. There’s no reason it should be illegal while things such as alcohol and cigarettes are legal. This is America, not communist China. Not to mention, the Democrats only have one good thing to run on right now and that is cannabis legalization. Oh how glorious it would be if Trump yanked that out from under them!
House passed the MORE act I’m pretty sure it will die in the senate. I got a ton of weed stock though. I’m sure if he ran on it he can gets tons of millennial voters in swing states
I'm certainly not PRO Cannibus. I think it's foolish for the most part. However; I also think it should be treated like any other drug. If there is evidence of a benefit, then use it sparingly.
As far as legalization, again, the abuse is the problem like it is with alcohol.
It’s such an obvious and easy thing to do. Imagine the look on Biden’s face when Truno is more progressive than Biden is on this issue.
Would save us so much money too if he also pardons (or idk if that’s the right term) a group of people who are currently locked up for NON-VIOLENT marijuana only related crimes.
Make it a focus? Ehh,... there'll be bigger priorities going into the election. The economy specifically has the potential to turn votes to Trump more than anything else.
Not my cup of tea and if still illegal then still should be prosecuted. Now on the other hand, since my wife has had cancer, I would have her take anything to make her feel better. I believe legalizing marijuana has a better chance being legal medicinally than it would recreationally in more conservative states.
Our country is 50 states that presumably self-govern via their own voters. As with other Trump initiatives, he believes in efficiency and good common sense approach. I believe that most rational people believe that the federal cannabis prohibition (Sched. 1 classification) is fucked bc a) it is based on largely false information, and b) it prevents states from truly self-governing when the laws voters enact are in conflict with the half-century old federal law that was created under entirely different circumstances with zero scientific data to support it.
I am a hard-core Trumpian Pede, retired career US Military professional who has spent his entire adult life defending our freedom and the US Constitution, a MMJ patient for a variety of ailments, but also I just love to smoke weed. Take me for what I am, or don't - I'll respect you just the same.
Trump needs to legalize it and take the wind out of all the sails. But I respect his personal background with being against drugs and alcohol in general. That said, fucking legalize it! Before 2020!
Declassify federally and let the states decide. And do it before 2020 election.
I would legalize medically, decriminalize general and let the states decide on general use.
Bingo. Almost like, hey, federal gov't...go fuck yourself and your abuse of power. Let us decide.
Heh. Almost like, hey, state and municiple gov't....
Have it regulated like alcohol and tobacco, no driving under the influence, no smoking in places that don’t allow smoking, don’t sell to kids, otherwise no problems
Indeed. It really is simple and logical. Something that conservatives heavily screwed up on in the past. Would be glorious if Trump corrected it, and yanked the one and only thing that the Dems have to run their platform on that will actually sway votes. Trump would win in a landslide.

I dunno man smells pretty good.
I don’t smoke, but that shit smells good. And I don’t smell it anywhere unless I’m next to someone that has it.
Well I don't know if you live in Portland, Eugene, or Las Vegas, but I definitely smell it everywhere in those places.
That would seal the deal for 2020. The dems would be left with their mouths hanging open saying, "That was our move".
Declassify would please most, and it isn't federally "legalizing" which would be yet another example of the federal government taking power away from the states.

> declassify federally and let the states decide.
Is that a decision that he can make, or does it need to go through congress?
Considering that the drug is classified by the DEA and Trump is their boss I don't see why he can't do it unilaterally
It's just like DACA, an executive order to specifically not enforce an extant law. The problem with that is that a future president can use an executive order to remove a previous executive order.
Unless that president is being blocked by a 9th circuit judge or a supreme court decision.
doubt a president would take executive action to recriminalize pot after it was decriminalized. that’s bad politics right there
CNN: Investigation launched to determine who stole half of Sanders supporters.
The follow up report would be: “And what the hell happened to the libertarians?”
I'm hoping he's saving a bunch of goodies (like this would be) for next year.
You should every once in awhile. Twice per year. It's like a cleansing for your brain.
Agreed.
Nonsense. Some people don’t need it. And if I do it, it’s for fun.
Some people can't handle the THC, esp. the strong stuff.
The only caveat is that law enforcement would have trouble proving people were driving under the influence. Otherwise it seems reasonable to allow but treat like cigarettes.
There's a market waiting to make it reliable. No financial incentive to do so yet.
State enforced bullshit is not a market incentive.
Driving high isn’t even a problem.
All they would have to do is carry a bag of Doritos around with them. If the driver can get through questioning without saying, "Are you going to open those, or what?", then they pass.
A field sobriety test for THC is easy. The officer slowly unwraps a Little Debbie snack cake and watches the reaction of the motorist in question. Will work every time.
I've never smoked anything in my entire 30+ years of existence and think it's a dumb thing to do to your body but I'm a libertarian and have voted for the pro marijuana legalization every chance I've gotten.
Same! Well, conservative and have tried it. Not something I'll do as it'd make me too lazy but that's about it.
Way preferred it to drinking too much or getting hangovers from a glass of freaking wine!!
it'd make me too lazy
I always described it as destroying my ambition. It's too easy to just veg out and get nothing accomplished.
Same here. I support decriminalizing, legalizing, de scheduling whatever you want to call it. I’ve seen how it helps people with certain medical conditions and others who use it recreationally, just like people like to relax with alcohol. Everything in moderation. Time to end the nanny state.
> I've never smoked anything
That's why I stick to the edibles my dude.
I'll give up weed the moment any credible study shows its dangerous to your lungs. But as of yet, its harmless
Dude. ANYTHING, (dust of any sort and smoke of any kind) is dangerous to your lungs. Involuntary coughing is your body telling you to knock it off. I imagine eating cookies would be much safer. Having said that, I will relate to you that all the people I know that developed problems from smoking tobacco, smoked more than a half pack a day and I'm thinking you don't smoke that equivalent.
Use a dry herb vape (i.e. Arizer Solo 2) and you’re good to go!
Because coughing isn’t indicative of something negative.
If only the leftists could get this general idea through their heads! Yet everything they disagree with must be wiped off the face of the earth! Sad!
That's one of the reasons I started this thread. I knew it would be a somewhat divisive topic, but I wanted to show the world how two differing views can cooperate with each other.

Same with me. Hope it become legalized
Simply a matter of personal freedom and state rights. I would definitely be on board with Trump legalizing it federally and letting the states decide for themselves.
Yeah, that sucks. It puts people who use cannabis into the same category as crackheads. There is a big difference. That shit needs to be corrected.
This is why it needs to be fixed federally - you would no longer be "an unlawful user" to the federal government, and it would no longer be a controlled substance.
It helped with my ptsd from childhood abuse/rape. The right therapy did wonders but no prescription drugs kept me stable.
That's awesome to hear, and thank you forever for your service!
I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do any non-prescribed drugs.
But until you're stoned on my front lawn, I don't care what you do.
Legalize it, tax it, and get over it.
Um
I noticed you said tax it
Taxation is theft
you spelled you spelled slavery wrong right
And you’re right
Trump has already legalized hemp through the farm bill....he is most likely going to win 2020 without the cannabis issue.

Food takes a chemical process to make..... I seriously don’t understand why even bring that up. It is utterly irrelevant.
Masspede here, it's already legal up here, and recreational dispensaries are opening up all over. They are crazy busy. Lines of cars, overflowing lots, people traveling from all over. Some have satellite lots and shuttles. What I'm saying is, it is a CASH COW. Someone is going to be getting a shit ton of cash to infuse into politics, and my guess is it won't be going to the right. All liberal states will legalize it, and fatten their war chests when they get wind of the bonanza happening up here.
I think weed is harmful, I personally can't smoke cause then I can't stop, but I agree it should be legal.
Legal, controlled, sold only at certain places, and taxed. Everybody wins.
This is the one and only thing my terrible state 'that shall not be named' has done correctly... I think if trump were to pull out a surprise reschedule/deschedule ahead of 2020, that it'd pretty much guarantee re-election. Here's hoping!
It'd also be kind of funny to watch salty libs twist themselves into knots over this and overnight start sounding like Sessions.
It should be tax-free. Taxation is theft
I think it's only harmful if someone has an addictive personality, and then it's not really the weed, but the individual.
That said, weed smells like shit and I hate it lol
Mmmm, I love the smell of some sticky buds...
You know what's amazing tho? We both support Trump, and can disagree without going at eachothers throats.
Have a great day, brother!
True, maga all day erryday!
Trump made a deal with Cory Gardner to legalize medical and let states decide on recreational. https://www.thecannabist.co/2018/04/13/cory-gardner-trump-marijuana-protections/103509/ Maybe it will happen right before election.
My favorite thing to do is get high and browse thedonald
Decriminalize and watch the libtears flow.
B-b-b-ut MUH BERNIE
Here for the REEEEEEE's?
Deport! Back over the wall you go!
I’ve been hoping Trump jumped on legalization before 2020 to get the moderate vote.
He totally should. It’s the only thing the Dems have to run on. #Trump42020
Trump has said he'll sign it if it reaches his desk. It's up to the house and senate to make it happen.
I think it's hilarious that as an NH resident I can go across the border into MA to hit a dispensary and legally purchase weed for recreational use...but to do that I have to leave my daily carry behind because THAT'S illegal.

Trump 42020!
Make Cannabis Great Again!
Cannabis is a wonderful wonderful thing. Free the buds! If GEOTUS decriminalized it on the federal level, it would be a landslide win for him.
I actually can’t believe that Obama never rescheduled it. I guess he was afraid he’d be ridiculed as a stereotype or something, lol. That guy was so bad he couldn’t even find the easy wins.
Agreed.
Decriminalization is a no-brainer. It frees up federal resources and generates revenue. It is a great alternative to opioids.
100 Agree!
I'm 63 years old and I support full Federal marijuana legalization with no exceptions besides age.
I've smoked it daily for 45 years, have all my mental faculties and no health issues from it.
Everything you have ever heard about pot is wrong. Even the new "stronger" varieties. Edibles are the only thing I would be cautious about.

It is curing cancer .. Soooo there That.??
Just got through tapering and smoked my last bowl on Monday!
Absolutely more healthy that alcohol in just about every single way.
And, easy to quit when you're not in the mood anymore!
Trump should just do it. He wouldn’t lose any support from it. Probably the only Republican who’s ever had the political capital to get it done.
I would like to give additional upvotes for this one.
It should be up to the states to determine that. However y’all should prob make immigration reform first. Desperately needed!!
NY GOP is fighting legalization. They could win even in this state but they're trying to lose.
Been a pro-weed Trumpaholic since Jun 2016.
My wife and I love Trump and weed. As long as huge companies don't get control I'm all in bro
Heck yes. Growing a harmless plant in the comfort of your own home should be LEGAL. Fu** big government.
I am 100% Trumplican, and I am also 100% for federal level legalization across the board (medical, recreational, and growing your own at home). This plant is harmless, less damaging than alcohol, and provides quite a few medical benefits for some people. There’s no reason it should be illegal while things such as alcohol and cigarettes are legal. This is America, not communist China. Not to mention, the Democrats only have one good thing to run on right now and that is cannabis legalization. Oh how glorious it would be if Trump yanked that out from under them!
House passed the MORE act I’m pretty sure it will die in the senate. I got a ton of weed stock though. I’m sure if he ran on it he can gets tons of millennial voters in swing states
It should be legal. If Trump legalizes, he will get a lot of undecided voters behind him. It needs to happen.
I'm certainly not PRO Cannibus. I think it's foolish for the most part. However; I also think it should be treated like any other drug. If there is evidence of a benefit, then use it sparingly.
As far as legalization, again, the abuse is the problem like it is with alcohol.
Legalize marijuana. Trump would be legendary.
It’s such an obvious and easy thing to do. Imagine the look on Biden’s face when Truno is more progressive than Biden is on this issue.
Would save us so much money too if he also pardons (or idk if that’s the right term) a group of people who are currently locked up for NON-VIOLENT marijuana only related crimes.
Make it a campaign issue? Sure, why not?
Make it a focus? Ehh,... there'll be bigger priorities going into the election. The economy specifically has the potential to turn votes to Trump more than anything else.
Not my cup of tea and if still illegal then still should be prosecuted. Now on the other hand, since my wife has had cancer, I would have her take anything to make her feel better. I believe legalizing marijuana has a better chance being legal medicinally than it would recreationally in more conservative states.
It should be up to the states. Federal government shouldn’t be worrying about it.
Our country is 50 states that presumably self-govern via their own voters. As with other Trump initiatives, he believes in efficiency and good common sense approach. I believe that most rational people believe that the federal cannabis prohibition (Sched. 1 classification) is fucked bc a) it is based on largely false information, and b) it prevents states from truly self-governing when the laws voters enact are in conflict with the half-century old federal law that was created under entirely different circumstances with zero scientific data to support it.
I am a hard-core Trumpian Pede, retired career US Military professional who has spent his entire adult life defending our freedom and the US Constitution, a MMJ patient for a variety of ailments, but also I just love to smoke weed. Take me for what I am, or don't - I'll respect you just the same.
Trump needs to legalize it and take the wind out of all the sails. But I respect his personal background with being against drugs and alcohol in general. That said, fucking legalize it! Before 2020!
Absolutely let’s let the states decide !! States rights
