Because Trump wants to make the cartels stronger and on his team. Soon we'll see deportations to cartel strongholds.

Remember when the Republicans didn't like the Feds medeling? They preach freedom and don't thread on me,
I thought states rights mattered to Repubs
Only when it suits their agenda
Its still not legal at the federal level, its just not criminalized at the state/local level. This was always a possibility.
Yes, but the Fed in the past always understood it was a quid-pro-quo. The state govs make a killing on statewide legalization, and that income flows up to the fed. Not to mention saving the fed a TON on DEA enforcement when they aren't tied up with Cannabis enforcement.
Well, it is codified legal at the state level, not just decriminalized. But yes, the feds can ignore it due to it being federally illegal. They're just trying to show California who's boss. They could easily go after grow operations in the numerous other states where pot is legal, but they're choosing to fuck with California just because they can. Same reason why they're targeting immigration enforcement on blue cities and leaving the red states alone. Cruelty and all that.
They could also go after the illegal grow ops in CA, some of which are literally still ran by the cartels.
Those guys are violent and ICE are scared little shit weasels.
Sure, but that would make sense and doesn't strike fear into the hearts of Americans, so it's a waste of time for them.
You don't want to take away weed, you don't want all the unmotivated stoners to get active, trust me just leave it.
hopefully they do something stupid like arrest joe rogan for weed
I happen to have known lots of the self-medicating type of "stoners" over the years and weed is basically their superpower. Many/most of them are actually overachievers.
The Hollywood stereotype of people doing bong hits and then doing nothing but playing video games and eating bad fast food I guess exists for a reason, but there are many that don't fit that mold...I don't think you want to piss them off either, though, since daily use is how they found a way to keep themselves sane and maintain a very high level of productivity.
I knew more than a few body builders during university that would wake and bake and then go hit the gym for many hours. I asked one of them how or why they came across this and many swore it game them more energy, more focus for getting in the zone. He also mentioned Arnold smoked up back in the day, so they figured it would do no harm.
As a stoner myself and somewhat old one at that there's certainly all types of stoners and I agree, I was trying to be funny but point is a lot of people use it for one reason or another, for many such as the people mentioned in the other reply and myself, it's important medicine.
I also know several people whose drug usage is the only reason they aren’t setting Republicans on fire
