There are many in the Trump tea leave reading community that believe this is actually a first step towards legalization and they’re testing the waters.

I don’t have an opinion on this just thought I’d share. I doubt most of HN lurks on said boards.

The first step in legalizing marijuana federally is removing hemp from the controlled substance list? That makes no sense, given that smoking hemp isn't going to get you high and how many states have already legalized marijuana, either medicinally or medically to great public approval (the waters have already been tested, and they're fine).

It also makes no sense given that less than 3 months ago, Sessions rescinded the policy of non-interference with state laws.

I mean, I'm sure people believe that, but I'm just saying, it doesn't really follow...

Typo or clever pun?
