Sounds like one more stunt, an attempt to get midterm votes.

Trump is considering an executive order to downgrade the classification of marijuana, reported The Washington Post on Thursday evening.

"Trump discussed the plan with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) in a Wednesday phone call from the Oval Office, said four of the people, who, like the others, spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly," said the report. "The president is expected to seek to ease access to the drug through an upcoming executive order that directs federal agencies to pursue reclassification, the people said."

Johnson tried to persuade Trump against the idea, according to the report, and no final decision has been made. Even if Trump goes through with it, he can't unilaterally order marijuana rescheduled, but simply order the Justice Department to expedite the existing process for doing so.
