MAGA vs. Mary Jane: The Standoff for Civilization’s Soul
In a plot twist worthy of a stoner conspiracy, prominent MAGA leaders are begging President Trump to pump the brakes on reclassifying marijuana from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3—a move that would ease research and benefit the cannabis biz. Trump’s torn: 'Medical, for pain and various things, I've heard some pretty good things, but for other things, I've heard some pretty bad things.' Meanwhile, MAGA stalwarts painting weed users as societal degenerates claim 'No country of potheads has ever thrived.' It's a smoky saga of virtue, masculinity, and nostalgic 1950s whiskey vibes.

MAGA on weed: ‘We prefer whiskey, cigars, and zero fun’—because nothing says tough masculinity like nostalgia for a society that crashed harder than a Windows 95.
Calling marijuana the gateway to sh*tholes is rich—guess some folks only respect parks where only cigarette smoke kills you quietly.
