They had a person in a shop saying...Sessions wants to spoil our party. Have no doubt....these are dopers.

Sedition and Treason should take a back seat to a State deciding the pot is no big deal right Jeff?

“Oregon’s top federal prosecutor reserving judgment on Sessions’ pot memo”

I’m not...it sucks. Will just create more hatred of the government. Many of us who don’t even partake see it as oppressive fearsome government.

We live in Washington, the first state to legalize marijuana. In our neighborhood consumption has gone through the roof. We can’t open the front door without the skunk like smell of marijuana wafting from the walking path a hundred feet a way wafting into our house. We can’t drive down the street without the smell of marijuana from the car ahead of us getting into our car.

The police say that they cannot do anything about people smoking pot while they are driving. They have been given no tools to accurately judge how much pot someone has been smoking. It is ridiculous and out of hand here. Maybe you will someday be fortunate enough to have your neighbors who “see it as oppressive fearsome government” be able to smoke as much pot as they want in plain view without any fear of prosecution or harassment from the authorities. Then you will be able to celebrate the libertarian utopia that my wife and I now find ourselves living in the middle of.

Two schools of thought here:

1. Crack down on every use or sale of marijuana, every where, maximum sentences, federal prison, no parole, hard labor. Jail them all, our children, bothers and sisters, parents, cousins, friends, everyone. Put otherwise honest, hardworking family members in prison with murderers and rapists.

When we are sick of that absolute letter-of-the-law enforcement, may our gutless leaders will do the right thing and stop equating it with heroin and cocaine.

Just for catching less of a buzz than the drunk driving that kills about 20,000 people a year and accounts for about 10% of all criminal arrests.

2. Legalize it. 97.7% of America has chosen to do so in some form that is against federal law. Check it out:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_cannabis_in_the_United_States

Only 4 states (2.28% of the US population) completely outlaw marijuana and are in full compliance with federal law.

Book ‘em Dano......

So Sessions has declared war on 46 states. The President really needs to shut this old fool down - ideally by using the executive's statutory authority to remove marijuana from the controlled substances schedule.

Hyperbole much? I’m in Oregon. The scenario you describe would. R reaver egged even if you substituted tobacco for weed.

Be exaggerated. And that consumption in your neighborhood didn’t start with legalization.

I live in rural SW OR. It’s beyond insane here. Way beyond insane.

We have basically NO LE. Gunshot victim? Wait time 30-40 minutes. What to speak of anything lesser.

About 1000 grow ops in MY VALLEY ALONE. What to speak of the rest of the county. Total LEGAL grow ops in county - 120.

Crime through the roof.

ROTFLMAO.

Pot smoking/consumption is not harmless, benign or beneficial, but the exact opposite.

Exhibit A:

0bola who admitted to being a pothead his whole life.

Exhibit B:

President Trump has never taken any drugs or even smoked tobacco, drunk alcohol or even coffee.

I rest my case.

I don’t know if I am nor not....

AFAIAC, the entire OR state gov can go to hell (except the few enfeebled and outnumbered Rs that may be decent), but then, they’re on track for that location anyway. Problem is they’re turning OR into hell before they leave.

I can only assume that the majority of people who think Sessions is wrong on this must be making $ growing dope.

“....millions in tax revenue for the state.”

Get ready to share the wealth or they might end the party.
