🇺🇸TRUMP, WEED & THE ART OF THE “MAYBE” Sean Spicer: “That will not happen.” Mark Halperin: “It will.” Trump has flirted with cannabis reform before - floating rescheduling, banking access, and backing Florida’s state-level legalization push - while avoiding a promise of full federal legalization. Rescheduling would make marijuana “less illegal,” but not legal nationwide. This dance isn’t new. Obama campaigned with reform-friendly rhetoric, yet left marijuana classified alongside heroin, frustrating advocates. Since then, 24 states plus D.C. have legalized recreational use, and 38 allow medical cannabis - meaning federal law is increasingly out of sync with the states. The money is unmistakable: a marijuana PAC gave $1M to MAGA Inc., Trulieve and Curaleaf dropped another $1M post-2024 victory, and Scotts Miracle-Gro’s CEO says Trump has promised rescheduling “multiple times.” Yet DEA chief Terrence Cole omitted cannabis entirely from his priority list - despite telling the Senate it would be “one of my first priorities.” If history is a guide, change at the federal level moves slowly, but Trump has a habit of seizing deals when the numbers and headlines align. The odds? Better than zero, but expect a carefully measured, optics-friendly move rather than a sweeping legalization.
