Seven months into his second term, President Trump faces a pivotal moment: the chance to federally legalize cannabis and grant clemency to over 40,000 individuals imprisoned for nonviolent marijuana offenses. This potential decision, especially poignant around Independence Day, symbolizes justice and progress against an outdated law. While the Biden administration made little headway on cannabis reform, Trump could take bold action to align federal policy with the realities of state legalization and public sentiment, potentially unlocking significant economic opportunities and enhancing social justice.
President Trump has a unique chance to federally legalize cannabis and grant clemency, an action that could reshape his legacy and benefit many Americans.
With 40 states legalizing medical and 24 adult-use cannabis, the nation is ready for a federal framework that reflects public support and economic potential.
