LOS ANGELES (AP) President Donald Trump said Friday that he's inclined to support a bipartisan effort in Congress to ease the U.S. ban on marijuana, a proposal that would dramatically reshape the nation's legal landscape for pot users and businesses.

The federal ban that puts marijuana on the same level as LSD and heroin has created a conflict with more than two dozen states that have legalized pot in some form, creating a two-tiered enforcement system where cannabis can be both legal and not.

The legislation would ensure states have the right to determine the best approach to marijuana within their borders, but some U.S. restrictions would remain, including recreational sales to people under 21.

Now this I can get behind, even if my state would probably resist to the bitter end on legalizing it.

Good, it's a step in the right direction. I doubt Congress wants this now, though.

Because one minor rational act is comparable to all the actually damaging irrational shit that's been done so far?

Fire Jeff Sessions so he doesn't get in the way.

This sounds like a plausible thing. Sessions argues it's the wrong action to take, Trump fires him, gets someone else, gets Mueller fired.

This is not a "minor" issue in any sense. Do you honestly have any idea how many people are in jail right now just for posession of marijuana?

Obama accepted hundreds of millions from the pharmaceutical industry, just like George Bush did and ALL of the other potential candidates. They basically bought favors from the president, and their mission statement has always been to keep marijuana illegal because EVERYONE knows is safer and more effective than their poisons and narcotics.

President Trump did NOT take their money. Nobody bought favors from him because he didnt let them. He set a precedent for the way things are going to be, from here on out. No corporation should be able to do that. That is the ONLY reason that it hasnt been made federally illegal.

This will lead to federal mandates that allow people to NOT BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST by employers.

All drug testing facilities in the United States should be forced to remove any form of THC from the drug panel. It should be a federal crime to fire an employee for smoking marijuana off of the job site.

I am sick and tired of this. You think unemployment is down now? Just wait.

Obama was on the "right side of history" when he got over his fear of gay marriage. The guy was instructed to think/talk/decide a certain way.
