Crazy Jeff Sessions to rescind policy allowing legal marijuana in states w/out federal intervention

[Papageorgio]

Attorney General Sessions to end Obama-era policy that let legal pot flourish

Come on Jeff Sessions. Leave marijuana alone. Leave it up to the states. If booze is legal, weed should be legal.

Then Congress needs to change the law, Sessions' job is to enforce laws not ignore them. The same with immigration laws, you don't pick and choose which laws to follow.

Congress needs to act to change the law. What isn't mentioned is also Sessions' asked for discretion when applying the law. It looks like a bunch of fake outrage to me.

So, according to you, Jeff is so honest, the fact that he has ZERO indictments of the "political class" is proof that every single person in government is involved in precisely ZERO law breaking....

BULLSHIT.

Jeff Sessions is a disaster, a total leech sellout traitor who parrots lies and cares not about truth.


Jeff Sessions voted to flood US high schools with cheap taxpayer funded pills like OxyContin and Lore Tab by voting as a "conservative" to SOCIALIZE senior drugs... and got BIG FAT $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ from BIG PHARMA to do so.

Jeff Sessions has never tried pot, and knows nothing about pot except what his BIRDBRAIN has PARROTED from the likes of "Reefer Madness."


Don't sell us this "Jeff is altruistic" bullshit.

The man voted to confirm MUKASEY to keep the 911 crowd from showing up under oath...

I didn't say he was honest, I said that his job is to enforce the laws, can you not understand English?

If you don't like the law then push for your Congressman to change the laws. It is very simple, if enough people push it, the law will change but to complain that the law is being enforced is moronic at best.

I am for legalizing all drugs and tax the hell out of them, let pharmacies dispense the drugs and then we will see less risk in addicts taking them because they aren't cut with toxic fillers. Use the tax money to educate and rehab the addicts and lower the criminal element, just like what happened to alcohol.

So layoff your holier than you BS!

Republicans fear major backlash in 2018

It would appear that the Keebler Elf bit off more than he could chew - Republican backlash continues!

"Why is Donald Trump thinking differently than what he promised the people of Colorado in 2016?" Gardner said in a speech Thursday on the Senate floor, evoking Trump’s campaign promise to leave the issue of marijuana legalization to states. "Thousands of jobs at risk, millions of dollars in revenue, and certainly the question of constitutional states rights -- very much at the core of this discussion."

Gardner -- who doesn’t face re-election until 2020-- isn’t being shy. He vowed to block Justice Department nominees from being confirmed unless Sessions reverses course.

GOP control of Congress hangs in the balance, with all House seats and a third of Senate seats on the ballot in 2018. The question for Republicans is whether complaining publicly about the administration’s decision will be enough to inoculate them from Democratic opponents’ criticism during the campaign.

Some half-dozen GOP-held California House seats are in play, including three rated "toss up" that are represented by Steve Knight, Dana Rohrabacher and Darrell Issa.

"This is a freedom issue," Rohrabacher said Thursday in a conference call with reporters, calling for a change in federal law to protect legal marijuana in states. "I think Jeff Sessions has forgotten about the Constitution and the 10th Amendment," which gives powers to the states.

"By taking this benighted minority position, he actually places Republicans’ electoral fortunes in jeopardy," Rohrabacher said in a statement later Thursday.

The question could motivate Democrats -- particularly young people — in November.

David Flaherty, a Colorado-based GOP consultant at Magellan Strategies, said the Justice Department’s decision could lead to a “major backlash and a spike in younger voters” if it disrupts the current system in Colorado. “Folks that are 44 and under here in Colorado are much more comfortable with the legalization of marijuana,” he said.​

Marijuana Crackdown by Sessions Leaves GOP Fearing 2018 Backlash

Watch the Gardner speech - AWESOME

Know what the easiest way is to get marijuana in a semi legal status?

Take it off of Schedule I substances, and put it at Schedule III or lower.

And, it would make sense to do so. Schedule I substances are anything that is highly addictive and has no medical benefit.

Marijuana is NOT, repeat NOT physically addictive, and, it has shown great promise for medical treatment.

Take it off of Schedule I.

NORML has a pre printed letter circulating on FB to send to your respective state lawmakers. Might be able to find it on their website.

No, he won't. It doesn't affect him. Sessions only cares about how much $$$$$$$$$ goes into his pocket. Heck, given the job he has done protecting Democrats from prosecution - he hasn't indicted one, and deliberately FUed the Obama era prosecution of Sen Menendez - the next Prez, Dem or GOP, will keep him....

Lol - Not a Trumpflake's chance in hell would a Dem president keep The Keebler Elf!

 

[ABikerSailor]

Didn't Trump say he was going to leave the marijuana laws to the States?

Yet another campaign promise broken.

You ever wonder why? How many years was in the Senate? He's as dirty as they come and they all have something on him.

Pass a stand your ground federal law if the person shot has drugs in their system. There is no penalty for killing them.

Oh did Trump pass some law? No.

What Sessions has said is that marijuana laws would be left to the prosecutors in each state. Which is why the dope dealers in Colorado said there would be no change.

Leaving marijuana laws up to the states makes sense. If legalization turns out not to be working, a state can vote in new laws without messing around with federalism.

Yep, back in the day when America was great and those no good negro jazz musicians would get all hopped up on the demon weed and go out and rape white women.

Could Sessions be any more of a cracker asshole?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

You do know that Jeff Sessions cannot arbitrarily change federal law just cause dopeheads demand it?

Actually, there is more truth in that post than you realize. Look up Anslinger sometime and see how he got marijuana made illegal.
