The Tennessee Conservative Staff –
Tennessee lawmakers could be looking at possible legalization of marijuana if President Donald Trump follows through with a potential federal reclassification of the drug.
Currently, marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug, placing it in a category with other substances such as heroin and cocaine, due to its potential to be abused.
However, President Trump stated in a Monday press conference that he was considering changing that classification to one that is considered less serious.
“We’re looking at reclassification, and we’ll make a determination over the next few weeks, and that determination will hopefully be the right one,” Trump said.
Republican legislators in Tennessee have previously stated that they would only consider legalization of the drug if it was reclassified as the federal level.
In 2020, House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R-Crossville-D25) said, “My position is you need to stay consistent, and I’m against sanctuary cities in the state of Tennessee, which is against federal law. Marijuana, unfortunately, is a Schedule I drug at the Federal level, which makes it against the law. Other states have passed it, and I understand that, but if you are going to be consistent, and as I’m opposed to sanctuary cities because it’s against federal law, as long as it’s a Schedule I, it’s against federal law, and so until that changes, it’s hard to have a discussion.”
Tennessee is one of only 10 states that have not yet granted legal status for the drug.
All attempts to legalize it within the state have failed within the legislature.

We’re in the Bible belt where legislators go against God.
Genesis 1:29
And God GOD!! said, Behold, I have given you(for your judicious responsible use) every EVERY!! herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, AND(also) every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
What we NEED here in the “Land of the (not so)Free” is lucifer’s prohibition ended and our GOD GIVEN herbal FREEDOM RESTORED to grow and use our own medicine. “Medical” whatever is a trap for lucifer’s pharma, “doctors” and “taxmen”
70% of Tennesseans are for medial marijuana legalization, however, Marsha Blackburn, who is running for Governor is very much against this. My guess would be her connection to Big Pharma, as she is still saying the Covid Vax was safe and effective, which we all know is a complete fabrication, as we have watched so many die or become injured from it. Legalization of Marijuana would cut drastically into the profit of big pharma, the sale of pain and seizure meds are very profitable.
If Blackburn is against decriminalizing marijuana, that’s dumb.
It’s dumb to send Americans to jail for marijuana.
Focus on important things.
Trump is smart.
