Trump should laugh off his fearmongering marijuana committee

The White House has a secret committee to collect negative data on marijuana. They want to present a bullet-point version of “keep off the grass” to the president. Trump should not be so easily fooled. Americans, many of whom have voted to legalize medical and recreational marijuana, certainly aren’t.

The White House office of National Drug Control Policy has reportedly set up a secret committee to push anti-marijuana messaging. That group, the Marijuana Policy Coordination Committee, first reported by BuzzFeed, sought to dig up “data demonstrating the most significant negative trends” about marijuana. The goal of this data? According to BuzzFeed, it’s “to be used in a briefing for Trump “on marijuana threats.”
