Trump Blames Cannabis Decriminalization for Possible ‘Disorder’ In DC

Washington, D.C. — The Trump White House has taken a firm stance against Washington, D.C.’s marijuana policies, calling decriminalization a “failed” experiment that has led to increased disorder in the nation’s capital. In a fact sheet released alongside a new executive order aimed at enhancing public safety and aesthetics in the District, the administration pointed to cannabis reform as one of several local policies that have contributed to lawlessness.

“D.C.’s failed policies opened the door to disorder—and criminals noticed,” the White House document states, citing marijuana decriminalization, reduced pre-trial detentions, and more lenient protest enforcement as problematic initiatives. While the executive order itself does not specifically mention marijuana, it directs federal law enforcement to coordinate with local agencies to crack down on criminal activity, including drug possession, sale, and use.

The District of Columbia legalized the possession and cultivation of cannabis for personal use through a voter-approved ballot measure in 2014. However, due to a congressional restriction renewed annually, the city has been unable to establish a regulated marketplace for recreational sales. Instead, officials have focused on expanding the city’s medical marijuana program as a workaround.

During Trump’s first term, his administration upheld the congressional rider preventing D.C. from implementing a commercial cannabis framework. President Joe Biden continued the practice during his tenure. Now, as Trump begins his second term, his administration’s first reference to cannabis policy links decriminalization directly to public disorder—raising concerns among advocates about the administration’s stance on broader reform efforts, including rescheduling and banking access.

The prohibitionist organization Smart Approaches to Marijuana welcomed the White House’s remarks, arguing that D.C.’s policies have led to widespread public consumption. The statement comes just one day after former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), once Trump’s nominee for U.S. attorney general, asserted in an op-ed that meaningful cannabis reform is imminent under Trump’s leadership.

Despite Trump’s previous support for rescheduling, uncertainty looms over the administration’s intentions. Key appointments, such as Attorney General Pam Bondi and DEA nominee Terrance Cole, have expressed skepticism about cannabis reform. While industry stakeholders remain hopeful that Trump will champion the issue, the administration’s latest messaging suggests that federal intervention in D.C.’s marijuana landscape may be on the horizon.
