    Put this in your pipe and smoke it: Donald Trump just legalized marijuana across the US.

    As On The Money has been reporting since April, our famously drug-and- drink-averse president has been inching ever closer to making marijuana significantly less criminal in the eyes of the federal government.

    On Thursday, it finally happened. He signed an executive order to rCLreclassifyrCY weed to a rCLSchedule IIIrCY drug rCo throwing it into the same
    category as codeine-laced Tylenol, testosterone and anabolic steroids. ThatrCOs versus its current rCLSchedule IrCY classification as a controlled substance, which it shares with hard-core staples like heroin, LSD and ecstasy.

    This will surely blow the minds of the nationrCOs 17 million potheads, many
    of whom partake in not only a substance but a culture that bears scant affinity with the MAGA hat-wearing real estate tycoon who occupies the
    White House.

    Hang on rCo hasnrCOt pot already been legal in nearly all 50 states? The answer is yes. But the implications are big now that the feds are
    classifying a so-called rCLSchedule IIIrCY drug, a substance rCLwith a moderate
    to low potential for physical and psychological dependence,rCY as opposed to
    a rCLSchedule IrCY drug, which has rCLa high potential for abuse and serves no legitimate medical purpose.rCY

    Namely, a Schedule III classification means the $60 billion-a-year
    business of weed in the US can be rCLbankedrCY and it can grow exponentially as the US banking system will no longer consider it off limits.
