Simon said SAM's decision to stop short of embracing recreational availability of marijuana meant the state was missing out on tax revenue and was supporting illicit activity through black market sales. The scorecard gave them high rankings for their positions in opposition to legalization but openness to medical marijuana use under appropriate circumstances.
Many in the marijuana world got what they wanted yesterday when Bernie Sanders finally came out officially with his support for marijuana legalization.
Trump — who says he doesn't drink or smoke tobacco, let alone experiment with drugs — has taken a variety of stances on drug control.
According to the state analysis, the measure would provide "net additional state and local tax revenues of potentially up to several hundred million dollars annually related to the production and sale of marijuana, most of which is designated to be spent on drug education and counseling services, state parks, research related to the medical use of marijuana and regulation of commercial marijuana activities".
In a commendable bit of Internet sleuthing, the Washington Post found a 1990 Sarasota Herald-Tribune clipping that quoted Trump telling an audience in Florida, "We're losing badly the war on drugs..."
"You think about people with cancer who need chemotherapy, and they're fading away because they can't get enough food in them", he said.
At the CPAC conference in June, Trump said he opposed Colorado's law, which he insinuated was causing "some big problems".
Beth Harris is prescribed medical marijuana.
While numerous other 22 states with comprehensive medical marijuana programs offer physicians free, voluntarily resources about the drug, they haven't required physicians to pay for training before they can authorize cannabis.
"It's going to be a lot harder to implement than you think".
Craig Blinderman, a physician who directs adult palliative care at Columbia University Medical Center, predicted that only "the most motivated" physicians will sign up for the training. But a federalist approach to marijuana, which is what most of the Republican candidates have endorsed, should amount to the same thing.
He also voiced his support for medical marijuana, saying, "I think medical should happen — right?"
"We have talked to our counterparts in Colorado, and this is very preliminary, but they have seen an increase of impaired driving with marijuana use", he said.
Trump waited for the applause to die down in the crowd, which skewed older, and then addressed the state he had just visited. "Cannabis legalization is an important factor to voters in Colorado and across the country, and should be a priority for Republicans and Democrats alike". "And I love Colorado and the people are great, but there's a question as to how it's all working out there, you know?"
"What I would say is we need to have a really robust public health approach to cannabis use and we don't currently have that, what we have now is criminalization".
As Trump has started to slip in a few early polls, he has taken a softer tone on the campaign trail.
