Current potus is not for this bill. He's old school anti legalization. Note how they didnt change the law in 2008 or 2012 when they had power. He just wants to "decriminalize" it. Which is just another term to allow unregulated drug dealers to continue on in the black market with lesser punishment. It's not working in Portland with Herion and Meth. Only making the problem worse, because those really are dangerous drugs. I believe there is some powerful lobby whether it be big tobacco, or something, that is preventing them from passing it. This is one issue I'm very much against Republicans on, but current potus is in their same boat when it comes to passing the bill.
