The recent votes for rec weed from Maine to California make the Obama policy of don't sniff, don't tell is getting stretched to the breaking point. Perhaps he will go for new laws on interstate transportation and an end to the absurd illegalization which puts pot in the same class as heroin. |

How ironic would it be to see a Republican administration and a Republican Congress, backed by a right wing SCOTUS legalize demon weed? |

Just that pesky track record of his that goes all over the map. Just that Republican Congress. Just that hard core right bunch of staff he is assembling Just that soon to be hard right SCOTUS Just that. Just which of those statement isn't true? His track record on the truth? That has been well established The Republican Congress? Check the election results The staff he is assembling? Look at them as they are revealed The SCOTUS? Look at his list of candidates.

Because Marijuana was the priority of voters this year 😆 |

Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary. #MAGA #wallsnotwars | |

Actually, it's going to have to be Congress that legalizes marijuana at the federal level. Trump is unlikely to waste an executive order on the DEA when it could be used against him. If, on the other hand, the GOP House overcomes the opposition of many of its members, Trump can shrug his shoulders and leave further action up to the states. Weed isn't the explosive issue it used to be, why start a battle over it? |

From women to labor to gay America to the economy, to religious freedom (if you're one of those), to education, to health care, etc... he's going to screw a lot of people bigly. The backlash will correct the error. It will take decades to fix the coming problems he causes. |

Well, all I know is that if I can't legally smoke a blunt from time to time to help make the Trump administration tolerable, I think I'm going to have to throw my support behind California seceding from the Union... |

It's not the States that decide what schedule it sits in. But President-elect Trump does not understand that. He does not get the question. He's incompetent and unprepared. |

I think Trump's leaning states rights on legalization, whether he'll continue this is anyone's guess. It will likely come down to money, pot stocks are trending up, the industry is trending up, so if you're wise you'll buy in. The pot industry is growing in immeasurably way's and it has the potential to far exceed the alcohol and cigarette industry if legalized which will also help to stimulate our economy - every single year. The smart money is now on federal legislation within 12 years, if enough states legalize it becomes federal law. Just guessing I think we need about 12 more states to legalize and pot becomes legalized federally. Now it's just a matter of time. |

Pleading States rights is passing the buck as long as there is Federal regulation in place. He can't ignore things that he doesn't want to deal with if it is already part of Federal law. That goes for everything. The (Federal) Constitution has its finger in every pie. There really is no such thing as States Rights. States are not sovereign. They are granted some power BY THE CONSTITUTION. Not the other way around. The (incoming) President needs to man up and recognize this uncomfortable reality. There is a lot more to the job than buck passing. Edited by CautionaryTales, Nov 15 2016, 06:08 AM.
