Trump Gearing Up New War On Weed

THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY IN THE UNITED STATES IS VERY MUCH
WORRIED ABOUT HOW THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PLANS TO REACT
TO STATES THAT HAVE LEGALIZED MARIJUANA FOR RECREATIONAL USE.
RECENTLY, WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN SEAN SPICER SAID THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION WOULD NOT USE FEDERAL LAWS AGAINST
MEDICAL MARIJUANA USERS, IN PART BECAUSE CONGRESS HAS
ALREADY BANNED IT FROM DOING SO, BUT HE MADE A DISTINCTION
BETWEEN MEDICAL AND RECREATIONAL USE AND SAID: I DO BELIEVE
YOU'LL SEE GRADY OR ENFORCEMENT OF FEDERAL LAWS AGAINST
RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA USE.
OF COURSE YOU WILL, BECAUSE CONSERVATIVES ARE NEVER
GENUINE ABOUT STATES RIGHTS.
THEY ARE GENUINE ABOUT BIG BUSINESS AND ENSURING THAT
INDUSTRIES LIKE PRIVATE PRISONS MAKE A LOT OF MONEY, ESPECIALLY
WHEN THEY HAVE DONATED MONEY TO TRUMP AND TO HIS CAMPAIGN AND
SO WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS, BUT THEY DO PLAN ON CRACKING DOWN ON
THOSE STATES THAT HAVE LEGALIZED RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA.
THEY PROBABLY FIGURE IT IS A WIN-WIN JUST LIKE NIXON DID.
ONE OF NIXON'S TOP AIDES ADMITTED IN THE 1990S,
WE DID THE WAR ON DRUGS BECAUSE WE WANTED TO TARGET OUR TWO
POLITICAL ENEMIES: BLACKS AND LIBERAL HIPPIES.
BACK THEN, THEIR CONCEPTION OF IT WAS THE HIPPIES DID
MARIJUANA AND THAT BLACKS DID HEROINE.
THERE LIKE LET'S MAKE THOSE THINGS ILLEGAL SO WE CAN
PUT ALL OF OUR POLITICAL ENEMIES IN PRISON.
THE GUY ADMITTED IT.
THAT IS ON THE RECORD.
NOW PROBABLY THE TRUMP PEOPLE LOOKED AND SAID WAIT, LET
ME GET THIS RIGHT.
PRIVATE PRISONS GAVE US A TON OF MONEY DURING THE CAMPAIGN AND
NOW I GET TO GIVE THEM MORE CLIENTS, THEY ARE HAPPY AND THEY
WILL GIVE MORE DONATIONS/BRIDES AND THEN I CAN GO AROUND THE
COUNTRY DOING SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT.
IF YOU ARE IN KENTUCKY AND YOU ARE HOOK ON OPIOIDS OR
HEROINE BUT YOU VOTE FOR ME, I AM NOT GOING TO ENFORCING
SO MUCH IN KENTUCKY, BUT IF YOU ARE IN LIBERAL CALIFORNIA
AND YOU LIBERAL HIPPIES AND BLACKS ARE VOTING AGAINST
ME, OH MY GOD, RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA?
THAT IT IS
A DANGER TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
I HAVE TO PUT YOU IN PRISON.
BY THE WAY, AFTER YOU GO TO PRISON A LOT OF YOU ARE NOT
ALLOWED TO VOTE ANYMORE.
EXACTLY, THAT IS THE EXACT POINT.
AND TWO, I THOUGHT TRUMP WANTED LESS REGULATION AND MORE
JOB CREATION.
THIS IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE AND SO HYPOCRITICAL.
THE ECONOMIST, THEY ESTIMATE THAT SOME 250,000
JOBS WILL BE CREATED BY 2020 IF WE MOVE FORWARD WITH
LEGALIZING MARIJUANA RECREATIONALLY.
WITH REGULATION, WHY NOT REGULATE AND TAX IT?
WAY HAVE IT BE UNDERGROUND IN THE BLACK MARKET?
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AND I THINK WITH DONALD TRUMP, BECAUSE
DURING HIS CAMPAIGN TRAIL, HE WAS VERY SPECIFIC THAT HE
AGREED WITH THEN PRESIDENT OBAMA AND IT BEING DEALT WITH ON THE
STATE LEVEL AND IT WOULD HURT HIS POPULARITY, WHAT POPULARITY
HE HAS BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ARE PRO-POT.
I'M INTERESTED IN WE HEARD THIS FROM SEAN SPICER, RAY?
I'M INTERESTED TO SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT.
LET'S GET THE PUBLIC OPINION REGARDING MARIJUANA BECAUSE
YOU THINK, ALL RIGHT, TRUMP MUST CARE LITTLE BIT ABOUT POPULARITY
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO POLICIES LIKE THIS, APPARENTLY NOT.
WINNIPEG UNIVERSITY DID A POLL AND IT SHOWS THAT 71%
OF AMERICANS WOULD OPPOSE EFFORTS TO ENFORCE FEDERAL
MARIJUANA LAWS.
THE POLL ALSO FOUND THAT 93%
OF VOTERS SUPPORT ALLOWING THE USE OF MARIJUANA FOR
MEDICAL PURPOSES AND EVEN THE MAJORITY, 59% SUPPORT MAKING IT
LEGAL FOR ALL PURPOSES INCLUDING RECREATIONAL OBVIOUSLY.
GET OUT OF OUR PERSONAL LIVES.
HOW INSANE IS IT THAT MARIJUANA IS CONSIDERED A DANGER.
A SCHEDULE ONE SUBSTANCE.
PEOPLE DO USE THEM MEDICINALLY.
THINK ABOUT HOW YOU CAN DIE FROM OVER DRINKING BUT YOU CAN'T
ON MARIJUANA, YET MARIJUANA IS WHAT CAN GET YOU PUT IN
JAIL IF YOU HAVE POSSESSION OF IT.
I AM OLDER THAN YOU GUYS, SO WHEN I WAS A KID, RONALD
REAGAN WAS PRESIDENT, THAT'S HOW OLD I AM IN BACK THEN IF
YOU SAID MARIJUANA PEOPLE WERE FULLY UNDER THE GRIP OF
PROPAGANDA AND THEY WERE LIKE NO, OH MY GOD, IT'S SUCH A
DANGER DIVE YOU DO NOT PULL BACK THEN AND THEY DID PULLING
BACK THEN, NO ONE WANTED TO LEGALIZE IT.
IT WAS A TINY FRACTION OF THE COUNTRY.
YOU KNOW HAPPEN IN ALL THOSE YEARS?
PEOPLE SMOKE POT AND THEY WERE LIKE OH.
I'M FINE.
I DIDN'T BECOME A METH ADDICT AND I ACTUALLY KIND OF LIKED IT.
AND I FEEL PRETTY GOOD RIGHT NOW.
BY THE WAY, IT REALLY HELPED ME WITH MY HEADACHE.
I CAN SLEEP BETTER.
THEY UNDERSTOOD THE LINE OF THAT PROPAGANDA.
THE FACT THAT IT IS NOW 59%, THAT IS A GIANT NUMBER.
59% SAY NO, LEGALIZE IT ALL.
WE ACTUALLY WON THE BATTLE.
IT'S ARTIE OVER.
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS, THEY'VE GOT ONE TERM WERE THEY HAVE TO
LOCK UP AS MANY OF US AS THEY CAN.
SO WHEN ASK YOU LOVE YOUNG LIBERTARIANS OUT THERE
THOUGHT IT WAS CUTE TO VOTE FOR TRUMP, IS IT STILL CUTE?
WHEN THEY COME TO LOCK YOU UP FOR SMOKING POT, DON'T COME
CRYING.
WE TOLD YOU THAT THEY ARE DEEPLY RIGHT WING AUTHORITARIAN
DAVE NUT JOBS AND THAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO THIS.
YOU THOUGHT IT WAS FUN AND GAMES.
IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.
I'M HERE SO THEY GOING TO GIVE YOU?
FIVE OR 10
DIVE YOU DO IT TWO OR THREE TIMES, THEY CAN GIVE YOU LIFE.
LIFE IN PRISON FOR DOING PIE AND YOU THOUGHT IT WAS A CUTE
THING TO VOTE FOR TRUMP.
