It would be nice and it would make the hard right and big left squirm, so it would be hilarious

but I don't think he'll do it

He will live it up to the states, which is how it should be

Libs that have been for legalizing weed would all of a sudden be against it.

I told my wife this very thing this week. The liberals wouldn't know what to do with themselves. I'm sure they'd spin it into a war on minorities or something. It's been funny listening to them trash the tariffs and NAFTA renegotiation since they've been clamoring for it for years.

So you want the President to unilaterally nullify an existing federal law passed by congress?

What is wrong with you?!

It would be awesome watching the religious right try and awkwardly defend it and the left somehow make it out to be a bad thing

In one sweep he would shore up most of the millennial vote for the next 30 years.

I think the issue will likely be left alone, just as Obama pretty much left it alone. Despite changing attitudes and a large majority of the American public screaming for legalization, it's still political dynamite.

What about the Federal laws that govern it? You can't have state laws that are recognized & ignore the Fed laws.

I don't care if they legalize it or not but I wish we would solve all the other problems first.

The issue has been dangling out there for each political party to take at the national level but neither have the balls.

I seriously doubt Trump is going to go there due to his endorsements from law enforcement agencies.

I mean, it's something that should have been legalized a long time ago.

He'd immediately win with an EO like that. The Liberal media would have such a hard time getting these kids to march for bullshite against they guy who just legalized pot. You know Maher's smug arse would be happy too. CNN would still be melting over some shite, but that's to be expected with Fake News.

It really would be a win-win-win.

He would have to decriminalize at the federal level for this to work properly

I'd prefer it if Trump floated the idea out there and let an up and coming congressman propose legislation to reclassify it, but it would be amazing to see a lot of my friends that have been so anti-Trump suddenly change their tune when he's on the same side of an issue they care much more about than immigration

He should but he won't. He hates drugs/alcohol.

Your wife must not be that bright either if she gets her information from you. I bet you two thinks the Golden Corral is fancy.
