Donald Trump
Donald Trump has firmly stated that he is against legalization and supports medical cannabis, but also believes legalization is up to the states.
Trump’s views have shifted from supporting legalization when
he said in 1990, “we’re losing badly the war on drugs. You have to legalize drugs to win that war,” to a much more conservative stance which he has elaborated on in recent interviews.
Trump
told Sean Hannity on C-SPAN he is against legalization saying “it’s bad and I feel strongly about that.”
In another interview with Hannity, he discusses Colorado, claiming marijuana causes “tremendously damaging effects to the mind, to the brain, to everything. So it’s a big problem.”
Despite the claims of damaging effects, he supports medical cannabis 100 percent and believes it is up to each state to enact their own marijuana laws.
Looking at just three of the current 38 candidates, it looks as though the GOP has shifted away from the days of Ronald Reagan’s War on Drugs and George H. W. Bush’s expansion of harsh drug policies.
While Jeb Bush and Donald Trump are generally falling instep with expected party lines, Rand Paul is the most outspoken supporter of cannabis of all candidates to date.
Trump is a fucking idiot who has repeatedly changed his mind over and over again. Do not vote trump...
