Trump Supports Legal Cannabis – Recreational and
Medical
Below is the excerpt from the USMJ and PURA shareholder update
analyzing Trump Administration the pro-legal marijuana
stand:
President Trump
is a populist president and “populist” is not necessarily a dirty
word. Meriam-Webster defines populist as “a member of a political
party claiming to represent the common people.” Now
“populist” might be a dirty word if the actions of a politician
only “claim” to represent the common people while the true intent
is something else. Populist politics is sometimes compared to
parenting. Parents shouldn’t always give children what they
want. Except voters aren’t children. Please keep in
mind, nothing here is intended to support or attack the Trump
Presidency. Our interest is very specifically in the eventual
federal legalization of cannabis, and in the meantime, a continued
federal laissez fair policy toward states’ legalization of
cannabis. Our intent here is to cut through barrage of
opinionated, riot inspiring news to take a sober look at the
reality of the cannabis situation when it comes to what the Federal
Government may or may not do in regard to the enforcement of
federal cannabis laws. From our vantage point, we believe the media
reaction to Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s comments and Jeff
Sessions stick in the mud personal opinion about cannabis is much
ado about nothing.
It’s difficult to argue that President
Trump is at least acting as a “populist” politician. We’ll
leave it to you to judge his true populist intent. We believe
giving voters what they want is a good thing and we hope that’s
what President Trump is really up to. We won’t argue against
characterizing President Trump as offensive. President Trump
seems to have a gift when it comes to offensiveness. Many of
us have a crotchety old relative, probably about President Trump’s
age, that manages to insult everyone at the Thanksgiving table, but
he’s family and everyone still loves
him.
So Press Secretary Spicer makes some disturbing
comments about the Federal Government enforcing federal marijuana
laws in spite of local state marijuana legalization. However,
a few days later, Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a statement
to counter balance Press Secretary Spicer’s earlier comments.
Attorney General Sessions talked about “responsible laws,” and
acknowledging states’ rights to “pass the laws they choose.”
An optimistic interpretation of the disturbing statements followed
by a balancing counter-statement might be that the Trump
Administration is attempting to find a “populist” balance. While
giving voters what they want might be a lofty idea, not all voters
want the same thing. In fact, voters can often be at odds as to
what they want. Every issue in America can’t logistically be
taken to a popular vote. It might be sheer genius to test the
waters on issues by suggesting an extreme policy; afterwards
assessing the reaction to the extreme policy suggestion, and
ultimately backing off from the extreme suggestion to simply
implement a practical policy that the majority of voters can all
tolerate. Press Secretary Spicer just might be the White
House sonar pinging for mines so the White House can steer clear
and maneuver through populist waters.
Remember the transitive property from high
school math? If A=B. and B=C, then A=C. Ok, so it
appears that an anti-marijuana sentiment exists amongst those
voters that put Trump in the White House. President Trump,
crotchety old relative charisma aside, might deserve some credit
for trying to acknowledge the sentiments of those that elected
him. However, clearly the majority of Americans are pro
marijuana legalization. If President Trump is a true populist
trying to give voters what they want (not just the voters that
voted for him), and if the majority voters want legal marijuana,
then A=C and President Trump’s Administration will not only support
states marijuana laws, but eventual federal marijuana legalization
overall.
Some may think President Trump is not a genuine
populist and that he is only laying claim to a populist agenda in
order to advance some nefarious counter agenda. If that’s the
case, let’s have faith that the American people will do what they
do and rise to the occasion in the face of such treachery. Either
way, if he’s a really a populist, legal cannabis is safe. If
he’s poser with a nefarious agenda, the American people will do
what they do and cannabis is still safe.
