Why is Trump targeting medical marijuana in an election year? Trump has talked up medical legalization, but his latest budget directly attacks it. Donald Trump has long claimed to support cannabis legalization. Trump's budget would kill a key legal protection for all medical marijuana patients. In 1990, he said the US was “losing badly the war on drugs” and would “have to legalize drugs to win that war.” As a candidate for president in 2015, he said that “medical should happen” while adult-use legalization “should be a state issue.” In 2018, he said he would “probably end up supporting” a bill to end the federal prohibition and allow states to chart their own course. But for all his talk, President Trump’s actions tell a different tale. On Monday, the president unveiled his proposed budget for the coming fiscal year, and it’s yet again a sour deal for medical marijuana patients and legalization advocates.

Cannabis remains illegal under federal law, so the protection works by prohibiting federal law enforcement officials from interfering with state-legal medical cannabis programs. #trump #donaldtrump #fakenews #prohabition #medicalmarijuana #marijuana #electionyear #draintheswamp #thewarondrugs #reefermadness #patience #holysmokestv #holysmokes #holysmokestimes #oneman #solo #cannabis #reform #legalization #safeaccess #news #ismokecannabis #medicalcannabis #thc #cbd #breal #rawlife #rawlife247 #losangeles #california (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8dn7U6BaG2/?igshid=1rav9snrjz9na
