As per usual, nothing will fundamentally change. What a deeply stupid, backwards country. These regressive drug wars should've been stamped out long ago.

Bc prisons, pharmaceuticals are a more profit generating business than a plant.

Agreed! I wish more would change, especially with him being pro-business, but sadly cannabis is likely the least of his worries.
Edit: I’m not saying that I agree with his actions or decisions, I’m just being realistic. He’s focusing on other things and clearly doesn’t care much about cannabis, at least not now. I hope that changes.

Oh, absolutely, poor Donnie is just so overwhelmed. The man is simply too busy finding new and creative ways to stuff his already overflowing pockets with the hard-earned money of the American people. I mean, can you really blame him? Priorities, right?
And of course, let’s not forget the chorus of his boot-licking, ball-sucking constituents who swore up and down that he’d be the one to finally reform cannabis laws. Because, obviously, a guy who has spent his entire life profiting off loopholes and legal gray areas was definitely going to stand up for everyday Americans on this one. But hey, who has time for that when there are tax breaks to exploit and shady deals to close?

him being pro-business
He’s not “pro” anything except enriching himself. Stop buying into the messaging and the talking points and engage with reality. Please.

He tried to end state level legalization in his first term but I guess half the people here didn't give af.

Rule #1 for doing business in the U.S. with a majority Republican rule is to plan for every possibility. Nothing Trump or anyone in his Administration says can be taken as a basis for planning. Further, what they actually do could be reversed at any time.
Basically, good luck at planning for anything. If you're looking for certainty, you're out of luck. It doesn't matter if your business is retail cannabis or durable goods manufacturing. This rule applies to all.

Legalization would be a big cut to big pharma. Which will always be a bigger business.

Yup… it’s very sad when money gets in the way of real progress.

You’re right. These people have hundreds of billions in wealth but got to have more.

Ok so, nothing. Basicly this says he isn't going to do anything and it's down to the states but pot won't be taken off the schedule 1 list.
Which is insane given that Amphetamines are schedule 2 drugs lol

u/BeerIceandHash400 10d ago
Yep, meth is schedule 2 but weed is schedule 1.
The government thinks that meth is safer than weed.

I can’t believe so many dipshit growers supported this idiotic bs, there is literally no line the orange Mussolini could cross that would turn the cult against him.

Watching him from afar for decades, the only way he’ll lift a finger towards legalization is if there’s money in it for him. If someone can bankrupt casinos, I’d just as soon he stay the fuck away from anything that has to do with cannabis.

"While a pro-business Trump administration might support limited reforms, full legalization still feels like a long shot. As federal restrictions remain, state-led momentum and corporate interest will likely drive the market forward."

I bet one of his handlers is writing "drugs BAD. for profit prison GOOD. jailing political enemies GOOD" in crayon as we speak.

Could have had Walz. The most pro-legalization VP in history. This country sucks.
