The recent dramatic progress in grow light efficiency will not go to waste.

What is small? This is where laws and enforcement go wrong. Is small 1 lb or 1 oz? To a trafficker, 1 lb is small. This is going to lead to very uneven application of the law, a clear violation of equal protection.

If Sessions wanted to be honest about it, he needs to set a weight specification. Those that want their pot just need to keep under the limit. Even then, nothing about this will ever make people happy. One thing I do know is that potheads will be potheads regardless of the law.

Jeff Sessions has been AG for 1 year, 1 month, 1 day.

It’s good that he continues to leave the definition of “small” and “major” deliberately amorphous.

That means folks like my cousin in Sonoma County will be able to continue to make a living. He and his cohorts are strong supporters of Sessions war on pot.

They all stay inside the Sonoma County limit of 99 registered and tagged plants. So, if the DEA has the resources to drive the back roads of Sonoma County...even with helicopters...to root out these scattered and camouflaged plots, I’d be surprised.

They’ll likely go after the big retailers first.

Jeff Sessions says prosecutors won't pursue "small marijuana cases"

Or massive Obama/Clinton corruption cases.

He doesn't want to be Arkancided

Cat is out of the bag. With all of the legal jurisdictions, new tech and products - vape pens etc. - there is simply no way to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

And who would want to? Waging a war on people vaping CBDs would not be practical or even possible.

Good. Local crime should not be a federal case.

If it doesn’t involve Interstate Commerce, National Defense, or Immigration in a pre-20th Century sense, the Feds should keep their noses out of it.

Now expand this to other issues.

In other news, the National Weather Service has announced that they won’t try to stop the rain from falling.

If a person thinks that someone is doing Fed time on a first offender, single, dime bag possession charge then they are mistaken.

he added, federal prosecutors "haven't been working small marijuana cases before, they are not going to be working them now."

Duh - federal prosecutors have never routinely prosecuted small marijuana cases, and in fact may well never have prosecuted a SINGLE small marijuana case. Anybody who thinks this is a concession or a cave by Sessions is a meathead.

Some law enforcement officials in pot-legal states argue the legal trade has caused unintended problems like black-market marijuana growing and dealing by people who don't even try to conform to the legal framework.

Speaking of meatheads: do these state law enforcement officials think there was never black-market marijuana growing and dealing before legalization?! Or do they think anyone hearing them will think so?

The patient, America, has been in a serious ‘accident’. She’s in critical condition, near death, suffering from illegal alien contusions to the head & internal bleeding caused by our leftist controlled corrupt stasi state. Don’t worry though, we have Dr. Magoo in charge of triage. /s

What the post office won’t tell you is that the cannabis business is helping pay for their pensions. A warrant is required to open a package sent via U.S. Postal Service. Not so with FedEx or UPS. Growers ship TONS of nugs all over the country via U.S. Post Office. The smart ones have a front website selling useless software or gadgets to account for their cannabis sales. The Feds busted Al Capone on tax evasion, not for bootlegging.
