President Trump told Colorado Senator Cory Gardner (R) that he
supports states’ rights on marijuana
. In exchange Gardner said he would lift a block on Department of Justice nominations.
While the sentiment more or less reflects what Trump said before he became president, he might consider it another way to undermine Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who wants to crack down on the state experiments.
Pro-legalization Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) called it a “head spinning moment.” “Trump changes his mind constantly, and Republican leadership is still in the way,” Blumenauer said in a statement.

Retired Ohio congressman John Boehner (R), who served as Speaker of the House from January 2011 to October 2015, has
joined the advisory board
(WaPo) of cannabis company Acreage Holdings. Boehner said his thinking has “evolved,” since professing himself
“unalterably opposed”
(Politico) to legalization in 2011.
Acreage is an investment company with stakes in plant touching companies in 11 states. Former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld (R) is also affiliated with Acreage.
Feedback from the cannabis world was muted.
“It would’ve been more helpful for him advocating for this 10 years ago,” Erik Altieri, head of NORML said.
