Trump Is First 'Republican President' With A Pathway To Cannabis Reform, Says Former Adviser

Trump Is First 'Republican President' With A Pathway To Cannabis Reform, Says Former Adviser

  • Bryan Lanza, a former adviser to President-elect Donald Trump and now a lobbyist for the cannabis industry, says the incoming administration may pave the way for significant marijuana policy reforms.

The article discusses how former President Donald Trump, despite his administration's general opposition to cannabis reform, inadvertently set the stage for potential changes in cannabis policy. According to Edward Conklin, a former adviser to Trump, the administration's actions, including the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill which legalized hemp, have created a pathway for cannabis reform. This bill distinguished hemp from marijuana, allowing for the legal cultivation of hemp and its derivatives like CBD. Conklin highlights that while Trump's personal views on cannabis were not progressive, his administration's decisions have opened doors for future cannabis policy reform, making him the first Republican president with such a legacy in this area. This perspective contrasts with Trump's public statements and the broader conservative stance against cannabis legalization during his term.
