I have been highly critical of sessions for obvious reasons but on this he is to be applauded.Marijuana is a gateway to hell. It is just a banned natrcotic. People that use it are dopeheads. There is no more medicinal value in this crap than there is in multi malt, plastic bottle scotch. People that buy into that are stupid people that need dr. Jesus not some pot smoking quack justifying his illegal conduct. States cannot preempt federal law EVER and if you are running a colorado pot shop you need a lawyer. Now!!
Sessions is correct to enforce the law as it is written. We don't need any more administrations ignoring laws they don't like. But if states want to keep pot legal, it is up to them to assert their tenth amendment rights, and have the federal government step out of it, except where federal law should apply, like interstate commerce, and bring drugs from outside the country.
Not really.
U.S. Attorney for Colorado: No changes on marijuana enforcement
I think you should not be allowed to drink coffee or beer or wine or fast food or whatever it is that you do that is none of my business.
“People that use it are dopeheads. There is no more medicinal value in this crap than there is in multi malt, plastic bottle scotch.”
Absolutely right !
When I ask the advocates of “medical marijuana” what “dose” they recommend for the various medical conditions that dope apparently “cures”, they are never able to answer.
“Toke up until you feel good!” How is that any kind of legitimate medical treatment ?
Kevin Wiliamson...
Isn’t he the assh^t promoting “Small White towns deserve to die” ?
“’Toke up until you feel good!’ How is that any kind of legitimate medical treatment?”

Trump made a campaign promise that he would leave marihuana to the states.
Right... because all those people undergoing cancer treatment and a lot of other ailments like insomnia never got any relief from this natural and readily available holistic drug. Not.
It’s really small-minded to believe good people everywhere don’t get some help by using marijuana products.
I personally don’t like it or use it but I know for a fact there a lot of people who do benefit from it even if that benefit is relieving depression so they can forget about their health or financial or whatever problems in their lives at the moment or to shut their mind down so they can get some sleep without resorting to harsh pharma drugs that leave them groggy and dull-witted all the next day.
Is there potential to abuse it? Yep; just like alcohol but Prohibition has never worked long-term. No reason to think it would now with pot.
At the bare minimum; the feds should legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes. This may in fact be what Trump and Sessions is trying to motivate the congress to do. There does need to be clear cut laws and guidelines from the feds because one by one each state is legalizing it putting the states and the feds on completely different paths legally. Fix it now; at least medicinally. It’s not like people are going to stop using those products anyway but some lives will be ruined due to overly harsh laws.
Legalize medicinal pot and decriminalize it for everyone else. Not meth, heroin, crack or other street drugs; just pot.
Kevin D. Williamson is a Soros tool.
This garbage is an accumulation of Soros drug pushing talking points.
Now marijuana is a “holistic” drug.
That’s a winner.
“When I ask the advocates of “medical marijuana” what “dose” they recommend for the various medical conditions that dope apparently “cures”, they are never able to answer.”
You didn’t ask me, but I will tell you anyway. I am a medical marijuana patient here in Florida. I use 20 milligrams of THC per doctor’s orders in late afternoon & 20 milligrams at bedtime. This successfully treats my chronic depression & anxiety.
Also, we don’t get to “toke up till we feel good” here in Florida. My doctor prescribes x number of milligrams you can use over a 70 period. If I were foolish enough to use up those milligrams before the end of the 70 days I would be unable to purchase more medicine till the next 70 day period begins. Also, there is no smokeable flower allowed. I use vape cartridges & sublingual drops & I am so very thankful to have access to them.
As someone who used to live with crippling depression & anxiety for 20+ years I thank my Heavenly Father daily for this wonderful medicine.
“This garbage is an accumulation of Soros drug pushing talking points.”
That you have never proven to be true, Marvin :)
Congrats to you on your sobriety!
Genesis 1:29
Glad you think so. I wasn’t sure it was the right word for it until you confirmed it was. Thanks!
I was going to go with simply “natural” but it does seem to be a bit more. Almost like a gift from nature really; at least for some people. Not me personally; but for some.
“Legal marijuana will be a tax collecting windfall like governments haven’t seen in ages.”
No doubt that INITIALLY Pot sales will generate much tax revenue.
But, given that pot is as easy to grow as a tomato plant, that 1 plant grown to maturity will supply several smokers for a year, & that commercial prices are ridiculously high as are the taxes applied, many pot smokers will choose to grow their own & avoid these taxes.
If someone is willing to grow their own vegetables to avoid the few dollars they pay for them at the grocery store, imagine how many people will grow their own pot to avoid paying hundreds of dollars for commercial pot.
