"As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life. I don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol," Obama told Remnick.
Remnick followed up and asked him if he thought it was less dangerous.
Obama responded that he did agree with that sentiment, "in terms of its impact on the individual consumer."

President Trump said he likely will support a congressional effort to end the federal ban on marijuana, a major step that would reshape the pot industry and end the threat of a Justice Departmentcrackdown.
Trump’s remarks put him sharply at odds with Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions on the issue. The bill in question, pushed by a bipartisan coalition, would allow states to go forward with legalization unencumbered by threats of federal prosecution.
I'm not sure what kind of 420 dimensional chess Trump is playing here but I'm pretty sure he's winning.
He has sessions running Hardline psyops misdirection when he drops this green bomb on a weekend.
Brilliant.
Libs are probably going to be so confused they won't know whether to let their heads explode or light one up and chill out.
Stay tuned.
Trust sessions?
Enjoy the show!

Give it up.
Obama is not legalizing weed. Trump is doing it.
This is going to drive you people off the cliff into the abyss of true and utter madness, isn't it?

Holy crap, if Trump does this I will give him YUGE props for it. It will be one of the best decisions a president has made in a long time. I won't get my hopes up though, the for profit prison industry has deep pockets.

Who's signature will be on it?
When a bill passes in the House and Senate and is sent to the President for a signature, it is said to be enrolled. The President can take one of several possible actions: The president may take no action. If Congress is in session, the bill automatically becomes law after ten days. A pocket veto occurs when the president takes no action and Congress has adjourned its session. In this case, the bill dies and does not become a law. The president may decide that the bill is unwise or unnecessary and veto the bill. The president may sign the bill, and the bill becomes law.

Well it is crazy a President would even say it. Even pot smoking Obama wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Oh, but he will sign it. And it will eat at your hopelessly partisan soul for years to come that it wasn't your guy that did it.
So much so that I fully expect the insane leftists to take a conservative Christian position on the matter and damn Trump to Hell for corrupting our youth.
