Jeff Sessions Just Confirmed He's Going After States With Legalized Marijuana

While Trump may claim he's for states rights, Attorney General Jeff Sessions just p*ssed on the opinions of about 71% of Americans who do not believe the federal government should attempt to ram federal laws down the throats of states where voters have legalized marijuana.

Drug War 2.0 is coming to Cannabis legalized state(s).

marijuana used for opium addiction? give me a break

oh yes, how dare those filthy dopeheads use weed instead of alcohol and prozac to alleviate their withdrawals? give me a break, they deserve nothing but suffering.


[38 Points] Pidgeon_Boys187:

doubt it'll happen tbh

voters decided, that shit is locked in.

worst he'll realistically try to do is stop recreational, in which case people will just pony up the $100 bux to get a medical card.

the only extra violence in recreational states is from the feds kicking in the doors of peaceful dispensaries

UPDATE [2017/03]: SESSIONS REASSURES SENATORS: NO POT CRACKDOWN IMMINENT

“He told me he would have some respect for states’ right on these things. And so I’ll be very unhappy if the federal government decides to go into Colorado and Washington and all of these places. And that’s not the [what] my interpretation of my conversation with him was. That this wasn’t his intention,” said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). in an interview.

Just sayin....

Jeff Sessions is the worst type of racist pork. God I hope they dig up some dirt on him. He relishes ruining innocent people's lives, bonus if they are brown skinned. He prosecuted associates of mlk for voter registration activities


[9 Points] burningmaggot:

Guys did you even bother to read the whole article..

There was an update

The Trump administration is causing serious paranoia among marijuana advocates with its hints of a federal crackdown on recreational use. But Attorney General Jeff Sessions has privately reassured some Republican senators that he won’t deviate from an Obama-era policy of allowing states to implement their own marijuana laws.

Sessions has rattled both libertarians and liberals in ordering a review of the hands-off pot policy under President Barack Obama. But Sessions provided some private assurances to senators before he was confirmed that he was not considering a major shift in enforcement, despite his opposition to the use of marijuana.

The WA state recreational cannabis industry is a $4.4m/day business with an effective retail tax rate of 37%. Legal pot funds roads, schools, substance abuse treatment programs, and medical research... and it's been doing a pretty good job of that so far. Crime levels are down in the state and incarcerations for minor, non-violent drug-related offences have dropped as well. Recreational cannabis has proven itself to be a boon for the citizens of Washington (along with every other state that has adopted recreational cannabis laws), and has brought new life to certain areas of the state that were once not suitable to sustaining any sort of real economy due to their mountainous terrain and distance from major cities. Over the past few years, it has become very clear to the people of the state of Washington that the cannabis plant is not dangerous when treated with respect and in fact offers many more benefits to society than it does pitfalls.

The citizens and the legislature of the state of Washington will not back down from this issue without a battle, as has already been proven by the defiance of the DEA's rescheduling of CBD to Schedule 1 and allowing medical research to continue within the state. Too much tax revenue comes in and the industry employs too many people at this point to just turn out the lights and lock the doors. Literally thousands of people in the state would be put out of work if the federal government stepped in and said "shut it down." Counteraction will be taken by the state, be it in the form of a bill introduced to limit the ability of the federal goverment to interfere in state matters or simple overt defiance of a federal order by the governor. Mr. Sessions is soon going to realize that cannabis is too deeply rooted in Washington's culture at this point (and Colorado's for that matter) to be able to just take it away.

The Trump campaign was run on a base of creating real, high-paying american jobs... well here's how to do it, guys. Don't crack down on pot and turn the clock back 30 years. Legalize it, tax it, build an infrastructure to support it and open up a whole new sector of industry to a nation full of ready and eager workers.

I feel like this is only going to push people further toward embracing recreational weed, because of the whole "fuck Trump" thing that's going on.

1/2 of you guys are stupid as hell and can't do a second of research.

71% of Americans...does this asshole really not believe in the spirit of democracy? Why even go into politics if you disagree with the founding tenets of the state?

Good luck going after California, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Florida, Massachusetts, etc...fucking idiots. Let's shut down the next biggest industry in the US. These guys are out of their minds.

I called this when they announced that prisons would be increasingly privatised and that regulations that were set to move away from such institutions would be thrown out. Heres the real deal: privatising prisons make them a money making venture -the more full they get, the more money the prisons make. And, not that any prisons are really 'good,' but private prisons are especially bad; being privately run they can pretty much do as they please -less guards/ safety, shittier food im sure and the big one: less actual effort to reform anyone (not that our current system does a great job with 'reform,' but now it just wont make any economic sense for them to do it).

Expanding the war on drugs isnt happening because they really think weed is bad- "Sessions is old and Southern, thats why.." no, dont be fooled into thinking that.. this is to fill prisons with innocent citizens and use us like batteries to power their money making machines. Doesnt get much more disturbing, morally depraved and just plain fucking gross than this.
