Can I just say one thing….

TRUMP SHOULD RESCHEDULE MARIJUANA ON 4/20! Effectively letting the states choose their own path. Even though the states pretty much have to this point, technically they aren't supposed to under federal law - it just hasn't been fully enforced.

I understand that not as many studies have taken place in the USA about long-term effects as some would like, but it's time. There is no reason for marijuana to be in the same category as heroin or classified as more dangerous than cocaine. The current schedule is a joke and it does more harm than good as it diminishes the terrible effects of other - seriously bad - drugs.

There are plenty of studies that show most concerns about marijuana are overstated or sometimes completely false. Most studies are by countries where they are not hampered by their own government to undertake such studies like in the USA.

Yes, there is alot of money to be made in the industry so there is some disinformation in favor as well. But for many years, you have to understand all of the money was going towards keeping it illegal cough big tobacco cough big beer.

While some studies try to point out negatives, no one is denying that marijuana is better than alcohol and/or tobacco for one's health as well as the social repercussions associated.

It is unfortunate that crazy Bernie Bro types are the face of marijuana legalization. They were crazy with or without marijuana. There are plenty of conservatives that use marijuana. A HUGE majority wants it legalized for 21+. An even bigger percentage think it should be made available for medical use. Either way, it should not be scheduled as it currently is.

Trump should take this issue away from the crazy Democrats as you know a percentage of people will vote solely on this issue. I am guessing anywhere from 2-7% of the electorate. It is probably closer to 7% for those states that still have it 100% illegal and closer to 2% for those state where it is already legalized. Though I do not think it will be enough for the Dems to beat Trump as I see it as being a landslide - especially if the storm comes soon, he should still make it more of a landslide and reschedule it already to the same level as alcohol and tobacco. At the least, I bet some will look at Trump in a different light.

In fact, marijuana (and how online poker was treated) to me was my 'red pill' almost a decade ago. It wasn't a red pill that made me conservative - I am mostly a libertarian leaning centrist and HUGE Trump fan. It was a the 'red pill' on seeing how our government will systematically keep an industry down and not for the protection of the people but usually more because of the greed of a dirty few at the top. Again, it's time.

If anyone has any points to add in the negative or positive, have at it. I already know most of the negative talking points, as a preamble to that- truly ask if it causation or correlation (which most of the negative points get incorrect).
