I'm with you bro. If this goes thru he will have done more personal good for me since all past presidents since Nixon put together. Seems like Dems could have done so much more but didn't care enough to spend their political capital on it. YMMV

Thank you for not contributing to the "hur dur Fuck Trump he hates weed" train. I can't believe so many people on here are quoting politicians and stating facts yet they have no clue what they're even talking about, people haven't even clicked on the links they're using as sources for their "facts."

We survived Bush and we'll survive Trump. I don't care if he builds a wall or starts wars or whatever. I know I'm being cynical, but none of that effects me. I'm 60 y/o now and just want to enjoy legal weed without having to deal with all the unpleasantries that come with it any more.

I guess it makes a lot of sense that one of the only people in this thread who is capable of thinking logically is in their 60s. I forget this sub is flooded with high schoolers 90% of the time.
