President Donald Trump just surprised everyone by indicating that he supports a bill that
would end the ban on marijuana in this country.
Politico reported that on Friday, Trump said that he would "probably will end up supporting"
bipartisan legislation to bar the federal government from interfering with marijuana
legalization laws at the state level.
Unveiled by Sens. Cory Gardner of (R-Colo.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), this bill
in effect give states the right to determine their own approach to regulating the drug.
When asked about the bill, Trump said supports it now and will "probably" support it
going forward.
"I really do.
I support Senator Gardner," Trump said of the lawmaker's bill.
"I know exactly what he's doing, we are looking at it.
But I probably will end up supporting that, yes."
This surprised everyone since it contradicts Trump's own Justice Department, which under
the direction of Attorney General Jeff Sessions has moved aggressively to crack down on the
proliferation of laws to decriminalize and legalize cannabis.
Back in January, Sessions rescinded an Obama-era policy that had effectively limited the prosecutions
of businesses and individuals who sold pot in a legal manner under state law.
This initiative of Barack Obama's had paved the way for more legislation expanding legal
access and use of pot at the state level.
Gardner and Warren's measure, which seeks to bar the federal government from meddling
in states' efforts to self-regulate on pot, would likely challenge the DOJ action on federal
pot prosecutions.
Gardner said that trying to roll back pot laws would be like "putting ketchup back
in the bottle" and also noted that current finance laws have made it difficult for legal
marijuana businesses to operate.
"This city of Denver, the state of Colorado, can collect taxes … they can take it to
the bank," Gardner said.
"But if you are in the business, if you work for the business, you can not get a bank
loan or set up a bank account because of the concern over the conflict between the state
and federal law.
We need to fix this public hypocrisy."
