“We need a return of morality based on the Christian value system which is based on selflessness.”

This I agree with. It doesn’t have anything to do with cannabis. But on its on, I agree with this statement.

“Marijuana is a very potent driver of self-centered childishness and apathy.”

Your evidence to validate this claim is?

“The vast majority of medical marijuana use is in truth recreational.”

Again, you make a definitive declaration without evidence to validate it. Please share with us how you came to make such a statement & upon what facts do you base it on.

If the AG wants to be of use, he should go after welfare frauds.

I was so excited to see him nominated for AG. WTH is he doing? He's going after medical marijuana? Conservatives are supposed to believe in States rights not trample on them! For God's sake marinol has been used for years to help cancer pts and dementia pts regain an appetite. They're not getting high! If he's​ still worried about drugs how about you crack down on that border. Or concern yourself with the FDA the biggest pusher of dangerous drugs in the country! Hell statin drugs are more dangerous than cannabis. What a freaking disappointment he's turning out to be.

A growing majority of American voters disagree, including millions who voted for Jeff Session's boss.

Yep, me being one. Thank God for Charlotte's Web. It is working wonders on stopping my son's seizures (where years of pharmaceuticals have not).

Medical marijuana doesn’t fall into that category, unless you’re a lobbyist for pharmaceuticals.

Thanks for the ping.

On this issue, I believe Sessions is in error. Cannabis, as candidate Trump stated is a states issue. Sessions, like a lot of folks his age & older were fed “reefer madness” propaganda & came to believe it as fact.

Hopefully, Congress will continue to keep Sessions from pushing his personal agenda against cannabis.

Congress and Trump should take this out of Sessions' hands and legalize pot across the board for all uses.

I don't smoke the stuff as I can't stand the stench.

I suppose if I had to for medical reasons, if the results were worth the stench I might.

I was in the USAF when I was one of the few who didn't smoke it.

I never saw negative effects on anyone.

It mellowed out a few folks who were very violent when on booze, and unruly when not on pot.

There is the argument that it's a "gateway drug". Maybe it is now, because the person selling you one illegal drug might want to make more money selling you really bad ones.

If it was as available as beer in stores, chances are, you would never meet that person.

The only negative effects I've seen are memory loss and possible miscarriages.

If one is going to have a baby, both male and female should stay away from all drugs and booze.

Once the deed is done, the male can return, and when nursing is done, so can the female.

Sessions should be going after every democrat and RINO illegal activity with a passion and have no time for potheads.

Exactly. Plus it’s pretty hard to overdose on medical marijuana.

That’s a communist tactic you’re using against me. Remember what I said earlier:

Next to creating “safe spaces” on universities, the best weapons our geopolitical enemies could possibly perpetrate on this country is to increase marijuana use.

There are billions of dollars pushing the marijuana industry.

Marijuana does have legitimate medical use, in cases of severe cancer pain or lack of appetite. But the deception is in the way recreational use masquerades as medical use.

This is talking about medical marijuana. I’m not advocating people sitting around smoking pot.

Plus it’s a States rights issue. If States want to legalize cannabis for medical purposes, the Feds need to mind their own business. He’s AWOL right now on Immigration, bringing charges against known political and federal criminals. What he’s doing is ridiculous.

Get up, find a job and quit complaining? I guess you have never had cancer, epilepsy, or debilitating pain that MM helps, without the horrible side effects of pharmaceuticals. I’m not going to wish it on you, just pray you find a little empathy in your heart.

People aren't really smoking it much anymore these days. They vape or eat it. Doesn't smell nearly as bad.

A lot of doctors or other individuals who provide “medical marijuana cards” set up shop in cheap motels for a brief period, charge a flat fee of 50 or 100 or so dollars and make a killing.

Plenty of rarely seen posters coming out on this thread pushing marijuana.
