Charlie Kirk smokes Trump over push to reclassify marijuana as less dangerous drug: 'Everything already smells like weed

MAGA podcaster Charlie Kirk had a social media outburst over reports that President Donald Trump is considering reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug, complaining that “everything already smells like weed.”

The conservative pundit and founder of Turning Point USA took to X to speak out against the change reportedly being considered by the Trump Administration.

“I hope this doesn’t happen. We need to protect public spaces for kids. Everything already smells like weed, which is ridiculous. Let’s make it harder to ruin public spaces, not easier,” Kirk wrote in response to a Wall Street Journal report claiming Trump was considering a reclassification.

Marijuana is currently considered a Schedule I drug, a category it shares with heroin, ecstasy and LSD. The Drug Enforcement Administration defines Schedule I as a “drug with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.”

If Trump does it'll be the first thing I agree with. FWIW I haven't smoked pot in over 30 years.

He is a right wing fascist reactionary.

Calling him a conservative paints him as a moderate that has a valid role in society. Rather he is a force of dissension and destruction.

Whatever he says should be instantly discarded.

Mango Mussolini's desperation for distraction from Epstein. The Christian Nationalists with Project 2025 aren't going to like this whatsoever.

- that outlined the fascist plan to eliminate all public spaces; public parks, libraries, schools etc. Corporate overlords only adhere to one solid principle: Everything should be privatized, thereby subject to individual ownership, and therefore, should be monetized to create more wealth for the individual, personal or corporate. Marijuana should be made legal so the corporate overlords can own the means to produce, package and sell it.
