Marijuana is definitely a place where we'll really see if President Trump sticks to his message on States Rights.

My guess is no. The letter soup federal agencies are ascendant. This proposition cuts at the heart of the DEA.

Chances are everything will continue just like usual.

Or another likelyhood; the Federal government will no longer turn a blind eye as it has in Colorado et al under Obama, and we wind up with a full on Federal / State showdown.

Maybe, but our "states rights" republican platform now elected to run the federal government will have to perform a grand act of hypocrisy.

Not that I don't put it past them.

"States' Rights" was always a red herring, IMO. Even in the civil war, the confederate constitution explicitly banned individual states from deciding to ban slavery.

The red herring is the slavery argument your political masters have fed you to keep you happily allowing massive power consolidation to an abusive apparatus.

I was listening to the Bill Burr podcast and he was talking about rumors of pharmaceutical companies planning to try and re-demonize marijuana in states where it has become legal to regain what they perceive as lost revenue due to a decline in prescriptions. All that lobby money with a businessman in the White House, makes me wonder how it'll all work out.
