US President is planning something big for marijuana, as Trump recently raised the topic, saying that he needs to “look at that.” Over dinner at his private Bedminster club, Trump reflected on his political moves, from ousting the nation’s top economic statistician to weighing in on New York City politics. Then, the conversation turned to a subject still clouded in political uncertainty: federal marijuana restrictions.“We need to look at that,” Trump told a small circle of donors, two attendees said, according to a report from CNN. “That’s something we’re going to look at.”A pledge unkeptNearly a year ago, Trump floated the idea of a sweeping shift in US marijuana policy, promising to make it easier for adults to access regulated products and grant states greater autonomy to legalise cannabis. He signalled support for removing marijuana from the same federal drug classification as heroin — a move that distinguished him from many Republican predecessors and aimed to appeal to younger voters, minority communities, and libertarian-leaning conservatives.Seven months into his second term, however, the pledge remains untouched, a conspicuous gap in the record of a president otherwise eager to notch campaign wins quickly.Internal rift over reformAccording to sources familiar with internal discussions, Trump’s senior political strategists have been pushing for swift action, framing cannabis reform as a potential boost to Republican momentum heading into the midterms.Yet some policy advisers are urging caution, warning that easing restrictions could trigger legal complications, stir moral backlash, and potentially alienate parts of the conservative base.White House responseIn a statement to CNN, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said the administration was taking a careful approach.“When it comes to marijuana, all policy and legal requirements and implications are being considered,” she said. “The only interest guiding the president’s policy decision is what is in the best interest of the American people.”For now, Trump’s Bedminster remark offers no clear timeline — only a reminder that the politics of marijuana remain as hazy as the policy itself.
