Trump Can't Stop Marijuana Legalization (But He Can Slow it Down)

Views: 955
"The Trump administration can slow down marijuana legalization, but they can't stop it." says Reason Senior Editor Jacob Sullum.

Trump already endorsed medical marijuana on the campaign trail, and said that states should be free to legalize it, but his appointment of old school drug warrior Jeff Sessions as U.S. Attorney General is cause for concern.

"First of all the, federal government doesn't have the power to force states to make marijuana legal again." They could sue to knock down state regulations, but that would simply leave behind a legal but unregulated market. The feds don't have the manpower to crack down on the local level, and there's very little upside for the administration to roll back legalization. "They can create a lot of chaos, but ultimately they're not going to reverse legalization and bring back prohibition"
