The news has been pretty consist since Donald Trump was inaugurated. Yes, it has been a steady stream of bad news, often bad enough to make many people cringe.
Well, here is a rare bit of good news.
President Trump has agreed not to get involved in states that have legalized the recreational sales of marijuana. Some officials in the Trump administration, most notably Attorney General Jeff Sessions, threatened to pursue action to crack down on this growing trend.
However, making a deal with Republican Senator Cory Gardner of Colorado. Gardner had been refusing to vote for any of President Trump's judicial nominees until the President promised not to get involved in Colorado's legal marijuana program. They finally hammered out a deal last week, and so marijuana sales will continue, and not be threatened, even through the Trump presidency, apparently.
This was a small bit of good news, an island of hope in that turbulent sea of despair which is known as the Trump White House years. Let's rejoice for a small victory, at least. People suffering medical conditions can rejoice, as can environmentalists, and likely scientists who wish to explore just what cannabis can do!
