Trump Threatens to Defy Congress to Go After Medical Marijuana

Trump Threatens to Defy Congress to Go After Medical Marijuana
Congress just passed a budget barring the use of federal funds to mess with medical marijuana. Now the president says that doesn't matter.
By Phillip Smith / AlterNet May 8, 2017

Congress moved to protect medical marijuana by including in its stop-gap federal spending bill a provision barring the Justice Department from using federal funds to go after the drug in states where medical marijuana is legal, but now, President Trump says that doesn't matter.

Even though Trump signed the spending bill into law last Friday, he included a signing statement objecting to numerous provisions in the bill—including the ban on funds to block the implementation of medical marijuana laws in those states.
