I applaud the intent, but I'll believe it when I see it. That's the first step to dismantling the prison industrial complex, and I'm not certain that will happen.

If he did that the states would have to follow up with legalization. There would be tremendous resistance from certain groups because of the $billions that would be lost.

Quote:Amid opioid epidemic, White House may cut drug control office budgethttps://www.usatoday.com/story/news/poli...101335060/
In the midst of an opioid addiction epidemic, the Trump administration is considering a plan that would gut the Office of National Drug Control Policy, a White House office that directs the country’s drug prevention efforts.
The president's budget office is proposing to slash the drug agency’s budget by 95 percent, according to a letter the ONDCP’s acting director, Richard Baum, sent to employees.
In his letter, obtained by USA TODAY, Baum warned that the move would be “very discouraging for our nation's effort to address drug abuse.” He said the budget plan would zero out two programs designed to combat drug trafficking and to fund local anti-drug efforts.
Baum said he was working to reverse the proposed cuts.
"These drastic proposed cuts are frankly heartbreaking and, if carried out, would cause us to lose many good people who contribute greatly to ONDCP's mission and core activities," he wrote. "We hope to turn this around."

Fifty years of "drug war" and trillions of dollars and things have only gotten worse.
Watch the people who come out against this and mj legalization and you will see some of the people who profit from the WoD.

I assure you this will never happen, even though all of this should be States issues. If States legalized everything, put a tax on it the money taken in would be earth shattering.

Boondoggle/Featherbed money on programs that have never worked.
Shovel the slush fund into keeping the drugs on the other side of the damned wall.
