Trump Reclassifying Marijuana Would be a Huge Political Blunder...

EDUCATED FOR DRUG USE
"Well, My child, the enemies of your country and the world have done their work good. They are using an infiltration with drugs. Your children are being educated for the use of these drugs." - Our Lady, June 18, 1987

DESTROYING THE YOUNG
"There is now a plan in the national and international seat of satan . . . . It is a group, My child, that is united with other groups throughout the world. They have one plan in mind: to bring about the fall of all nations and the introduction of Communism to all nations, by destroying the young with drugs and all manners of debasity." - Our Lady, June 18, 1987

COUNTRY-WIDE PLAGUE
"My children and parents, listen to Me well. You must not allow your children to listen to recordings known as rock and roll. They have been specifically created by Lucifer and his agents to seduce your children. They are the major instrument for leading your children into the plague, the country-wide plague of drugs, the country-wide plague of atheism, the country-wide and world-wide plague of casting aside your God and substituting false gods and religions. My children, awaken from your slumber! Parents, do not expect your clergy to come forth from their pulpits and give counsel to your children. This responsibility lies alone with you now!" Our Lady, September 14, 1979

By John and Andy Schlafly

President Donald Trump recently said he is considering downgrading the federal ban on marijuana, and cannabis stocks skyrocketed by 25-40 percent on the news. The pot industry had hoped Joe Biden would make this pro-marijuana change during his presidency but never expected it from the Republican side.

Last November, three Republican states defeated heavily funded ballot initiatives to legalize recreational marijuana. Someone is giving Trump bad advice by encouraging him to give a shot in the arm to cannabis, which is the name preferred by marijuana dealers.

Marijuana farms are magnets for illegal aliens and also exploiters of forced child labor. Last month, a raid by the Department of Homeland Security at two of these farms in California netted the arrest of 361 illegal aliens, who included criminals convicted of rape, serial burglary, driving under the influence, and hit-and-runs, according to DHS. At least “14 migrant children” were rescued from “potential exploitation, forced labor, and human trafficking.”

Federal law enforcement agents had to overcome more than 500 rioters who tried to block these arrests, one of whom shot at the agents while other protesters damaged vehicles, the agency said.

The marijuana farms had licenses to operate, but there are many thousands of illegal marijuana farms today. In California, most of the licenses granted to grow marijuana have gone inactive, as the illegal grows run by criminal gangs have infiltrated the supply of pot.

Pressure to Reclassify

Despite the proliferation of crime, much of it by illegal aliens, Trump is being pressured to reclassify marijuana as a less harmful Schedule III drug, like steroids or Tylenol with codeine. Currently, marijuana is classified by the federal government in Schedule I, which is the category of drugs, including cocaine, that are prohibited for any purpose.

This reclassification by the federal government would enable marijuana sellers to take tax deductions for their business expenses, such as television and internet advertising. IRS Code Section 280E prohibits Schedule I drug dealers from deducting business expenses other than the cost of goods sold, and if this changes, then pot promotion will become pervasive.

Stronger Drug

The potency of marijuana has sharply increased since a generation ago, as its THC content grew from 3 percent in 1991 to 17 percent more recently. A 2022 study found that 12 percent of drug-related emergency department visits were due to marijuana, most often for cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, which is severe stomach pain and vomiting that afflicts long-term consumers of the drug.

The Centers for Disease Control warns that 30 percent of marijuana users develop cannabis use disorder, which includes an increased likelihood of “problems with attention, memory, and learning” and reckless car-driving while under the influence of the drug. Like many addictions, there is a never-ending, increased craving in desperation by marijuana users for more to attain the same “high” as before.

Problem in Many U.S. States

Voters in Oklahoma rejected legalizing marijuana for recreational use in 2023. The state had been overrun by 6,000 illegal farms, many controlled by Chinese gangs. Two months ago, Oklahoma’s attorney general announced a drug bust of 40,723 marijuana plants and more than 1,000 pounds of processed marijuana.

While there has been talk about prohibiting the purchase of American farmland by China, the expansion of marijuana farms is a greater problem. In addition to Oklahoma, the states of California, Maine, Massachusetts, and Oregon all have a problem with Chinese gangs controlling marijuana operations.

Legalizing or downgrading the classification of pot was not a campaign promise by Trump, but was instead apparently raised by a donor at a fundraising event in Bedminster, New Jersey, one of the liberal states that has legalized this harmful drug. Trump’s New Jersey country club is not surrounded by the pot operations and their foul odor that have driven people away from California, Oregon, and Colorado.

Californians complain about the “sewer-like” smell of marijuana as it has taken over the Golden State in the last decade, without any redeeming benefits. Earlier this year, the Cathedral City town council adopted a moratorium on any expansion or new opening of a cannabis business because the “disgusting” odor has diminished the quality of life for residents and harms the environment.

The proliferation of illegal cannabis farms, which becomes impossible to stop once marijuana is embraced, has led to rampant use of harmful pesticides and chemicals that are unlawfully dumped directly into the environment to contaminate groundwater. Yet liberal environmentalists are mostly silent about this.

In April, D.C. authorities closed its fiftieth illegal dispensary, in its pot market, then exceeding $4 million in monthly sales, and these drugs may have worsened its crime epidemic.

Trump should not reclassify this dangerous drug.
