I think she's in league with Saudi Cartels as well. There's no limit to her corruption.
Drugs are a trillion dollar industry - I have no doubt that Clinton with her previous connections in government is connected.

Jesus christ this thread has backfired.
Dunno how you figure that
Trump hasn't commented since he was elected.
Therefore you have no information that proves that he has changed his position.

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.

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 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.

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?

he's going to screw himself in the pooch Biiiigggly if he goes after legal pot.
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 unclear whether a Donald Trump administration will kill pot advocates' vibe after their landslide victory on Tuesday.

Nine different states voted on marijuana-related ballot initiatives — four considered legal medical marijuana and five chose whether to legalize recreational marijuana. Eight of those initiatives passed, including recreational approval in California, Massachusetts, Nevada and Maine. Arizona's failed.

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/what-will-trump-administration-do-about-marijuana-legalization-n682261
Trump has said that it needs to be left up to the states.
From the link:

"I'm mostly concerned by the people around Donald Trump," said Executive Director of the Drug Policy Alliance Ethan Nadelmann — the man considered the major powerhouse behind marijuana legalization in the country.

The opposition also believe Trump's potential appointees could point toward future policy.

"When we see Guiliani and Christie and Sessions around him, I think things could change pretty quickly," said Dr. Kevin Sabet, co-founder of anti-legalization group Smart Approaches to Marijuana. "Everything is up in the air right now."
I don't give a xxxx what this ideological douchenozzle is worried about.

Trump was asked specifically about this - and he said:

“In terms of marijuana and legalization, I think that should be a state issue, state-by-state. … Marijuana is such a big thing. I think medical should happen — right? Don’t we agree? I think so. And then I really believe we should leave it up to the states.” Washington Post, October 29, 2015
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.

“If Hillary Clinton had won, this would have been the grand slam that everyone in the industry had been hoping and praying for for years,” said Chris Walsh, editorial director of Marijuana Business Daily. “With Trump coming in, no one knows what’s going to happen. There are a lot of fears that he might crack down on the industry.”

During the campaign, Trump argued that marijuana legalization should be decided on a state-by-state basis, without being more specific. But in addition to the vice president-elect, some of Trump’s closest advisers, such as New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, are no “friends of marijuana reform,” according to the Drug Policy Alliance.

Doubtful

Hillary is an criminal that is likely getting kickbacks from the cartels.
Mexican or Saudi?
Mexican. That HSBC connection.
I think she's in league with Saudi Cartels as well. There's no limit to her corruption.
:rollseyes:

Limited only to your imagination.

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.
