Isn't it interesting that Democrats push hard for legalization of all types of drugs across the country, but as soon as a private industry begins actually profiting from it, they suddenly want more regulation. Is there nothing that Democrats (and RINOs) can't find a way to pollute, corrupt or destroy?

They want you on good pharmaceutical brain-numbing drugs that have listlessness and apathy as persistent side-effects, and they want you taking those pills every day.

The ones who don't want that want you slamming down enough alcohol to numb the world every night, just like dad and grandpa did.

This is exactly where America First should be: regulate intelligently; do not destroy an industry by stealth. Farmers planted. Brewers invested. Small businesses hired. States collected revenue. Consumers bought lawful products. Then senators and attorneys general suddenly wanted the ban hammer to fall before a serious framework was built. Trump understands the practical stakes, especially for medical uses and veterans. The hemp industry does not need a free-for-all. It needs rules that distinguish legitimate commerce from bad actors without burning down 300,000 jobs to prove Congress can look tough. Give the market oxygen. Build the framework. Stop governing by ambush.

The people still stuck in a Reefer Madness mentality need to take a seat.

People are demanding THC. It has less side effects than alcohol and is a lot healthier. Both the right and left want sensible Cannabis laws in every state. No moderna or Pfizer deciding for us.

Mr. Stone… this is only a little related to this and you need to know this because this is The Truth. In this state titled Utah AKA: The Gun State what you need to buy marijuana that is 100% a drug at a dispensary are two things… lie a lot and have money. You should read a little in depth as to how whack The Gun State’s loonies did this one. What is laughable to me is The Gun State is only after money currently. The Commie State Liquor Stores here have been closed down only to reopen because of money. If they could make The Gun State a dry STATE they would. That thing, 3.2% beer, is a scheme by them, whoever they are with a little bit of a strictly demonic word… power…, to take as much money as they can over beer, and they do this because they take more on taxes with 3.2% beer than anyone does with real 5% beer. No, it is not even close to speaking of life… to them…, and all it is to them is money money money to wanting more money.

The $ call of the marijuana lobby is too strong on Trump.

So far how much he dislikes drugs (only from Mexico).

Drugs that feed into his own pocket: Great!
