When Donald Trump was still on the campaign trail, the then-candidate continued to spew his nationalist “America First” rhetoric. It was unclear at the time, but it’s become increasingly obvious that he plans to put the country ahead by isolating it from the rest of world. As he continues to ridicule close allies and cozy up with dictators, Trump has sent the U.S. political landscape into an unprecedented tailspin.

Montana may not be a cannabis tourism hotspot like Colorado or California, but the Big Sky State has had medical marijuana legislation on the books since 2004.

The investigation began last August, when federal and local agents found makeshift marijuana greenhouses disguised as a tomato cultivation site.

Like many states across America, Ohio is in the thick of a deadly opioid epidemic.

The California Assembly just approved a measure that would prohibit state and local police from assisting federal drug enforcement agents in interfering with any marijuana user or canna-business that is complying with state marijuana laws.

Donald Trump’s top cop, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, once declared that “good people don’t smoke marijuana” to a room full of senators. Now, thanks to Trump’s large family, his wife’s decision to not live in the country’s most famed residence, and his ridiculously erratic travel schedule, those same downright terrible pot smokers might be the Secret Service agents tasked with protecting Trump and the rest of his administration - yup, you too, Jeff.
