Trump to Reform Marijuana Policy After Midterms
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), long a champion of legalizing marijuana, told the Fox Business Network on Thursday that President Donald Trump intends to reform federal policies on marijuana after the midterm elections in November.
Trump’s new policy is expected to approve the medical use of marijuana, while leaving the question of recreational marijuana to the states. That would fulfill a campaign promise from 2016, when Trump said he backed medical marijuana “100 percent.”
Rohrabacher told Fox Business that the president had made a “solid commitment” to reform: ““I have been talking to people inside the White House who know and inside the president’s entourage… I have talked to them at length. I have been reassured that the president intends on keeping his campaign promise.”
Earlier this year, Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded an Obama-era memorandum that indicated the Department of Justice would refrain from enforcing federal laws on marijuana in states that had legalized it. Sessions’s new policy was to leave enforcement decisions to individual federal prosecutors.
That was not enough for Sen .Cory Gardner (R-CO), who threatened to block Trump’s future nominations to Department of Justice posts unless the administration adopted a more flexible policy.
The administration reached a compromise with Sen. Gardner, and Trump told reporters that he would “probably” support an end to the federal ban on marijuana.

The base.
But...there are many layers to this. I don't think they're going to instruct the IRS to allow standard business deductions to marijuana dispensaries. As such, it's nothing but lip service.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Even if they don't allow proper deductions right away, it will be a big help for farms and stores and processers to be able to use banks.
The truly idiotic part of course is that the Feds don't seem to want their cut.

Feds are getting a nice cut now, given the taxes they receive without any deductions.
I know the bank issue was resolved, but Sessions might have re enacted it. Truth is, the industry is getting so big, they're about to open their own banks.

I don't see this happening.
The companies in the alcohol industry are not just going to stand by and let this happen. And why should Trump do anything to make the stoners happy?
