Do you think it will happen, will donald take it off the schedule?

The President does indeed have the power to declare and rescind a previous presidents EO's. If I am not mistaken.i'm almost positive that the president does have the power and authority to remove it from schedule of controlled substances. it was added by an executive order of Nixon, it could and should be removed by an executive order now. all he has to do is say there is a large enough body of MDs prescribing it for medical ailments and that proves it does not belong on schedule 1 and is therefore choosing to remove it all together.
it's extremely unlikely to happen, there's too much political pressure that would raise a firestorm about it. but it could. hope hope hope hope.
Heres another angle to view EO's. They should be illegal as it gives the Prez a way to sidestep the "rule of law" and takes away the power of Congress to control the Executive Branch. But not much good comes out of Congress anymore so it is a mute issue.
It is going to be very interesting to see how this all plays out for sure.That could change. Before the president and Congress were fighting each other. Now however the house the Senate and the presidency are all controlled by the Republicans. This means that other than some filibusters Democrats don't have a whole lot of say-so. Expecially after Trump adds a republican friendly judge to the Supreme Court giving them majority there

I thought he wanted more privatized prisons. According to some, these are funded by mj arrests. I wouldn't be surprised if he takes away rec state's federal money, to force us back into prohibition.
You're tripping..have you looked closely at the repubs in congress..most oppose medi..much less rec. even Rand Paul says leave it up to the states. This is what's killing me..people put too much faith in the system. If it was up to the people it would be a done deal. Keep your eye on the ball..people think Ron Paul won potus or sumthing. The hawks that hover around trump are all about increasing funds to the dea, heavy policing, and more prisons.That could change. Before the president and Congress were fighting each other.

I hope you're right.I think we are past that tipping point. Public opinion has changed. The people who watched Reefer Madness growing up and have been in charge of our laws are almost gone/dead. The next generation of old people are our idealistic 60s/hippie generation. Should make for a different atmosphere
Once the heavy hitters and deep pockets get up and running, I predict that homegrown will again be illegal just like moonshine was after prohibition ended. The players will lobby the Hill to assure that not a cent of possible tax revenue gets missed. You will either get your meds from the black market, or you will succumb and buy your meds from the legal commercial interests and businesses that have the Feds blessings.I thought he wanted more privatized prisons.

He don't hold the power to Re-schedule anything, Only congress holds that power, (Dea may possibly hold the power to move things from 1 CS to another, but i don't think they can perm, Remove anything)
But no It won't be federally removed/re-scheduled anytime soon, We need to see at least 50% of the US states vote YES for recreational marijuana before feds will do anything..
Atm only a handful of states have legal recreational, we need more states to lead as examples of systems that WORK before the feds will do much.
We also need fucking TONS of money and lobbying behind the movement as theres going to be 10X as much against you.
States rights are ALOT easier to obtain / overturn then Federal rights.
Actually he does hold the power being congress and senate as well as President are Republican .
but it will never change this way the Government has still full control.
They can or could at any minute shut it all down. And start raiding and throwing people back in jail
