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

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.
