“I support Sen. Gardner,” Trump said when asked about the bill. “I know exactly what he’s doing. We’re looking at it. But I probably will end up supporting that, yes.”

More winning!

Trump said he is likely to support the federal legalization effort despite a warning against it from the coalition of narcotics officer groups.

“We urge you to see through the smoke screen and reject attempts to encourage more drug use in America,” they wrote in a letter to Trump Thursday.

Of course they did - the War on Pot is make-work for narcotics officers.

“War on Pot is make-work for narcotics officers.”

It also distracts from the real problems ... heroin and meth. Abusing weed is as stupid as abusing alcohol, but heroin and meth destroy communities.
