The US president said he would probably support a new bill that would allow all US states to authorize legalization in their territory. 

9 US states have already approved a legal cannabis market but federal law still sets a total ban.US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he was expected to support a new bill that would put an end to the age of banning cannabis in the United States, which began about 90 years ago.The new bill, promoted by the two parties, will allow each country to regulate the cannabis market in its entirety, including the establishment of factories, shops and the permitting of domestic growth and self-use - all without fear of DEA's claims and raids.The remarks - contrary to the position of Justice Minister Jeff Sessions, who is fighting legalization supporters - Trump said as he boarded the plane on his way to the summit of the G7 countries in Canada, where the Senate on Thursday approved full legalization that is expected to come into force until September .When asked by reporters about the bill, Trump replied that he supported the position of Sen. Currie Gardner of Colorado, one of the initiators of the new law and the one who confronted the issue with Sessions."I know exactly what he's doing," said Trump. "We're looking at it, but I'll probably support it, yes."Gardner has already noted a few weeks ago that the president personally authorized him to support the law, but this is the first time Trump has said that in his voice.Since the year 2012, nine states have approved the regulation of the cannabis market legally as alcohol - 8 of them (Washington, Colorado, Alaska, Oregon, Maine, Nevada, California) have done so after voting in a referendum, This was last year for the first time in a government decision.

September sounds a bit too soon, we'll see. Hopefully Trump can put an end to this Pharma regime.

Yeah, I'm not sure how true is it but anyway it should come soon or later!
