The White House is planning on tackling cannabis reform after the midterm elections, according to Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif. Rohrabacher tells FOX Business that the Trump administration has made a “solid commitment” to fix marijuana regulation. “I have been talking to people inside the White House who know and inside the president’s entourage... I have talked to them at length. I have been reassured that the president intends on keeping his campaign promise.” Rohrabacher says President Trump has spoken in support of legalizing medical marijuana on the federal level – and leaving the question of recreational marijuana use up to the states. Recreational marijuana was just recently legalized in California this year – but reforms on the federal level have been stalled for decades. Yet, according to Rohrabacher, that will soon change: “It could be as early as spring of 2019, but definitely in the next legislative session.”
I have my doubts that any good can come out of this administration or congress. Must be why they are waiting for after the midterms.
Tons of good has come already, where have you been? I called this move from day one. I don’t know if he can get those in Congress on the take from big pharma to jump on board but I’m interested to see how this plays out.
tons of good? maybe from Muller, but not from trump. 32 guilty pleas from individuals and 3 companies all linked to the trumpster fire so far. He isn't done yet either.
I see no weight in Trump giving himself a report card that says all he touches is greatness. Strange how that press briefing doesn't state that our prices have skyrocketed due to unnecessary trade wars or that he has a hand in separating parents from newborns while putting the children in prisons or that he was laughed at by our allies in the UN.
I’m done here. Please educate yourself if you want to debate. Those “media created issues” have LONG since been put to rest.
Sometimes I just have to shake my head and ask folks "what color is the sky in your world?" It's as if we live on different planets. I've been voting since the 70's and it's a fact that Trump's kept more of his campaign promises and done more in the short time he's been in office than any president I can remember. If he keeps this promise that would just be awesome!
Trumps a jerk. Ok so It’s exactly what America needs I don’t like him as a person But he has a way, of speaking his mind. Not political rhetoric. No body likes him, there afraid of his evil eye You get on his radar. He’s nuts! Awesome ️ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk @ I love growing weed
gee, another gang piling to someone else's opinion that they are free to have that derails from what the OP says is the topic of discussion.
I don't watch television so whatever they broadcast has no influence on me whatsoever. Nice ad hominem btw.
Yeah, I'll believe this shit when I see it, not putting any hope into this. Probably just trying to scoop some Democrat votes for the midterms
I have maintained since he was a candidate that he would be one hell of a lot more likely than anyone else to move the issue. He is a businessman and he sees tax revenue and profit. And I think he sees that weed is basically harmless as far as he is concerned. My biggest question is if it’s decriminalized and federal law OKs medical use will that mean states with medical use will have to stop drug testing in the workplace for THC ? That all of who play cat and mouse with random testing can relax if we get a script??
I worked as a physician back in the 00's when cannabis was legal medically in the state of Colorado. I did drug testing on my patients(I ran a pain clinic) due to federal regulations. The tests done also test for different kinds of opiate medication in addition to illicit drugs even though they were legal. My wife as part of her obtaining a job had to have her urine tested even though she wasn't a driver for the company. I doubt companies will be obligated by the feds to stop testing for stuff that is prescription or legal. My main worry is a re-classification to class 2 medication as that will likely mean no more personal cultivation and be a big giveaway to big pharma. Morphine is a class 2 drug and they don't allow personal poppy cultivation with intent to process it for instance. Another worry as a patient is that the feds go for CBD only medicine.
Oh shut it, no, they would be happy with that, but it isn't going to happen. At best, The STATES act will get passed to respect states to come up with their own marijuana laws, and that is only a possibility now that the House has flipped and Pete Sessions is finally gone.
