Trump Looks to Legalize Cannabis, and the Sector will Boom

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / June 18, 2018 / President Donald Trump said recently that he was inclined to support a bipartisan effort in Congress to ease the U.S. ban on marijuana, a proposal that would dramatically reshape the nation's legal landscape for cannabis users and businesses.
