Why Trump's Marijuana Smell Comments Are Political | TDR Cannabis in 5

<p>President Donald Trump is making cannabis headlines again, but not over rescheduling or federal legalization. TDR Cannabis in 5, presented by FRE, looks at his comments about the smell of marijuana in American cities. Host Shadd Dales covers Marijuana Moment&#39;s report that Trump criticized Democratic-run cities during Columbus Day remarks, describing dirty streets, deteriorating conditions and marijuana smoke, and tried to tie those conditions to crime.The comments appear to be more about Trump&#39;s ongoing criticism of Democratic leadership than a turn against cannabis, especially given the administration&#39;s role in cannabis reform. There&#39;s also a firm view on the bigger question: you can support legalization and still believe there should be rules on where people consume. Alcohol is restricted in public spaces and cigarettes are banned in restaurants and public buildings, so why should cannabis be different?The call is for clear rules on public consumption, age limits, product safety and impaired driving, with the industry leading that conversation instead of waiting for politicians. It also pushes back on one part of Trump&#39;s remarks: the smell of marijuana isn&#39;t evidence of a crime, since cannabis is legal for adults in many states run by both parties.The takeaway: dismissing community complaints doesn&#39;t help the industry&#39;s credibility, while addressing them does. Responsible regulation and legalization can work together, and responsible standards can help cannabis earn mainstream acceptance from lawmakers, banks, investors and the public.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/trumpcannabis">#TrumpCannabis</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/marijuanamoment">#MarijuanaMoment</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/cannabisregulation">#CannabisRegulation</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/publicconsumption">#PublicConsumption</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/cannabislegalization">#CannabisLegalization</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/cannabispolicy">#CannabisPolicy</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/tdrcannabisin5">#TDRCannabisIn5</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/responsibleconsumption">#ResponsibleConsumption</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/cannabisreform">#CannabisReform</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/cannabisnews">#CannabisNews</a>Want to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXOhCZA-ft4">   •
