Seems Trump has reclassified cannabis.

When weed becomes federally legal, it becomes federally taxed and regulated. My community already pays over 30%. I would rather keep on not breaking the laws there are that make weed accessible than pay more fucking taxes for nothing. California is the fifth largest economy in the world... without the 15% excise tax and 8.75% sales tax.
I'm getting steamed. Better stop before I get nasty and talk about how locals pay tourist prices.
Where'n my humble plot of land on a wooded mountain where nobody'n drop a tax on me? Woe, woe, where'n my humble plot of land?

Hi, Smallgrow.
Thanks for the kind post.
Yes, the demented, orange toddler rescheduled marijuana from Class 1 to Class 3 of the US Controlled Substances Act.
I live in a legal state (Arizona - five years), so not a big personal change.
The BIG effect is lifting tax restrictions for cannabis businesses. They were prohibited from deducting normal business expenses under US Code 26 Section 280e. Now, they can deduct wages, rent, etc. just like a "regular" company.

When rumored last week, cannabis company stocks rose 30-40%. The prices have since retreated. I would fully expect prices of cannabis products to become less expensive.

Politics. Usually not a good social discussion unless everyone is on your side or you want to fight. Glad to see America is coming to it's senses.
