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.
