Cannabis Law Under Trump’s Second Term // Confusion and Control // Era of Legalization [11]
<p>Following the 2024 election, expectations for federal cannabis reform rose as Donald Trump returned to the White House. Instead of clarity, the United States entered a period defined by fragmentation. This episode traces cannabis policy during Trump’s second term, examining conflicting cabinet appointments, stalled federal reform, aggressive anti-cannabis advocacy, and the growing divide between federal inaction and state experimentation. While public support for legalization remains strong and youth use indicators continue long-term declines, federal agencies and Congress remain locked in paralysis. The result is a fractured national landscape.</p><p></p><p>Links Linktree: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linktr.ee/cpmaynard">https://linktr.ee/cpmaynard</a> Patreon: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/c/christianmaynard">https://www.patreon.com/c/christianmaynard</a> #CannabisPolicy #DrugPolitics #BidenAdministration #CriminalJusticeReform #PublicHealthDebate</p>
