Former Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson reacted angrily to President Trump's apparent abandonment of a campaign pledge to leave pot policy to the states, saying he hopes the pivot ends Trump's shot at re-election.
Johnson, who served two terms as a Republican governor of New Mexico, said the Trump administration is "grossly underestimating the anger this will create."
"I hope it dooms his re-election. Trump promised to leave marijuana to the states," Johnson told the Washington Examiner.

The fried brain contingent always votes Democrat so it will have zero impact.
Well for all the dope fiends here on FR, he does offer an alternative for their support. I could never see the worth of being a cuckold to Mary Jane, but they say it does destroy your testosterone so maybe that explains it..that and the brain damage
What I like about Trump is he is putting the burden on congress to do there job. Too many issues are being done by executive orders or just deciding to not enforce the laws. We should be enforcing all laws regardless of how you feel about them. If the law is so wrong, congress should change it. DACA is a prime example. People are whining because Trump isn’t going to extend the program. Trump is right to push it back to congress as this is their job- congress doesn’t like it because now they have to show their cards and actually vote for or against.
Probably more so than you would think.
And homosexual marriage. In fact anything deviant under the guise of 'freedom to..'
That’s exactly right.
What I don’t understand is the lack of comprehension here that there are millions of people who will go vote if they think that they can get pot legalized or might lose their legal/decriminalized pot who likely wouldn’t vote otherwise and it’s probably better for us if they dont.
I dont use it but I know plenty who do, most of whom are just normal people doing fine and some are very successful professionals.
Stoners seldom get things right as they are always stoned.
Sure thing dude....cause you drew such a large following
Medical marijuana doesn’t kill you like opiates do. No need to treat them the same. Do you work for a pharmaceutical company? Sounds like it. Or maybe an alcohol distribution company.
On Fox Business this morning, the discussion turned to pot. It seems, and it’s never reported, employers are unable to fill job vacancies because many applicants can’t pass drug tests for employment. Seems the same thing is going on with the military.

Yes, Trump will probably lose the votes of the stoners who were so doped up in 2016 that they checked the wrong box on the ballot.
One of my friends in Seattle is a second level manager at Microsoft. He uses recreationally. One of my daughters and her husband do as well. He owns his own web company and is highly successful. He is an Israeli with US citizenship as well and she is an engineer for an insurance company.
I don’t think they should use, but it’s not my call. I stopped using cold turkey back in 1977. I consider alcohol to be much more damaging, though people can damage themselves with marijuana too.
As I understand it, Sessions’ policy change applies only to recreational use (not medical use).
Also, in this discussion of marijuana use, I personally think we should be talking about the meth and opioid epidemics. I can’t see freely available marijuana helping with those situations. Yeah, I realize that I am hopelessly old-fashioned and uptight, but I do believe in the gateway drug theory even though if I count to ten, somebody will have posted that it is nonsense.
Gary “what is Aleppo” Johnson?
Superb post!
If Bill Maher is a libertarian then you are spot on!
Last I checked MJ wasn't listed as one of the personal freedoms in the bill of rights.
If it takes MJ for a people to be free than they are really already enslaved.
