President Donald Trump as a candidate vowed to decriminalize marijuana and make it easier for weed companies to obtain bank accounts and for universities to research the drug. Now, commercials carrying reminders of Trump’s promises will air on televisions where the president spends most of his time. American Rights and Reform PAC, a group backed by the cannabis industry, is planning a seven-figure ad campaign that is noticeably critical of two of Trump’s regular fixations: former President Joe Biden and Canada. One ad attacks Biden’s failure to fulfill a pledge to end decades of federal policy that treats marijuana like addictive and deadly narcotics such as heroin; the other says Canadians “cash in” on Washington’s anti-marijuana policies by listing American cannabis companies on its stock exchange. Both ads also laud Trump for championing patient access to experimental treatments in his first term and suggest that taking steps to ease federal marijuana restrictions would be in line with the president’s agenda. “This an ‘America first’ fight,” a narrator says in one ad. The other encourages viewers to push the White House to “end Biden’s war on medical cannabis.” Biden said last year he supported decriminalizing marijuana. He also started (but didn’t complete) the process of reclassifying it from a Schedule I narcotic — reserved for illicit substances with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse — to Schedule III, which are drugs that have some medical use and can be prescribed by a doctor. American Rights and Reform PAC will spend more than $1 million airing the two 30-second spots on cable and streaming services over the next month in Washington, DC, near the White House and in the West Palm Beach media market surrounding Mar-a-Lago, where Trump has spent most weekends since taking office, a person familiar with the super PAC’s plans told CNN. The ads will appear on digital devices as well.
