   Put this in your pipe and smoke it: Donald Trump just legalized marijuana   
   across the US.   
      
   As On The Money has been reporting since April, our famously drug-and-   
   drink-averse president has been inching ever closer to making marijuana   
   significantly less criminal in the eyes of the federal government.   
      
   On Thursday, it finally happened. He signed an executive order to   
   “reclassify” weed to a “Schedule III” drug — throwing it into the   
   same   
   category as codeine-laced Tylenol, testosterone and anabolic steroids.   
   That’s versus its current “Schedule I” classification as a controlled   
   substance, which it shares with hard-core staples like heroin, LSD and   
   ecstasy.   
      
   This will surely blow the minds of the nation’s 17 million potheads, many   
   of whom partake in not only a substance but a culture that bears scant   
   affinity with the MAGA hat-wearing real estate tycoon who occupies the   
   White House.   
      
   Hang on — hasn’t pot already been legal in nearly all 50 states? The   
   answer is yes. But the implications are big now that the feds are   
   classifying a so-called “Schedule III” drug, a substance “with a moderate   
   to low potential for physical and psychological dependence,” as opposed to   
   a “Schedule I” drug, which has “a high potential for abuse and serves no   
   legitimate medical purpose.”   
      
   Namely, a Schedule III classification means the $60 billion-a-year   
   business of weed in the US can be “banked” and it can grow exponentially   
   as the US banking system will no longer consider it off limits.
