    Perhaps he is hoping that Marijuana memory loss will help people forget about the Epstein files.

    Or, was there perhaps a suspiciously large Polymarket bet for this? Just curious.

        And this doesn’t even really do anything to help them, it helps wealthy people who own dispensaries in legal states, but Cleetus in red state hell with brick weed is still going to get harassed and arrested by the good ol boy cops (not that I expect Cleetus to read down past the headline to figure all of that out)

          It also opens access to a lot of people. It will also opens research to a massive group that didn’t qualify before. This is truly good but fuck President Kid raper. He wants people to love him again. It’s getting hard to hide it from that EVERYONE is dunking on him.

      He has donors with a lot of money in the marijuana industry.

      He might hope this boosts his approval rating, but this is just normal Trump pay for play.
