Do you expect the assholes to be anything but giant hypocrites on states rights?

Theyā€™re going to destroy a billion-dollar industry here in CO. I have friends that work in it.

you mustā€™ve seen Reefer Madness one too many timesā€¦

the opioid ā€˜epidemicā€™ doesnā€™t have anything to do with legalized marijuana and I thought legislation had been signed and passed directing DoJ to not waste resources chasing marijuanaā€¦

It seems like just yesterday that this administration was singing the praises of Statesā€™ Rights.

Or have they forgotten that?

Up to this point the whole Trump thing didnā€™t bother me much.

Now Iā€™m mad.

And YETā€¦

No problems with going out and getting as hammered as you want on alcohol. Because, after all, booze is what normal adults do. Itā€™s not like marijuana which is something that maladjusted young people do.

I swear, this pisses me off incredibly and pot is not even my drug of choice. Itā€™s just that the mentality behind this is so antiquated, moralistic and godd*mn wrong.

Well we got us a Redneck good 'ol boy as Attorney General
Heā€™s an Oakie from Muscoky
He donā€™t like no librul hippies or negros for that matter
Heā€™ll straighten this country out in short order and get people back to Meth and alcohol like it should be.

Seriously these fuckers are tone deaf
Playing to the base at their own risk
Please keep it up Keep alienating voters
2018 canā€™t get here soon enough

ā€œAttorney General Jeff Sessions is notoriously conservative in his beliefs about marijuana.ā€

Of course he is. He sees it as one of the core means of using inequitable enforcement to ruin black and minority children in inner cities so they get prison time, felony convictions, lose the right to vote and suffer a lifetime of employment discrimination, i.e., keeping them out of competition with the nice white children who smoke weed in the suburbs.

I was hooked on phonics once.

Wouldnā€™t wish it on anyone.

Got so bad that, most days, I couldnā€™t even get out of bed until Iā€™d done a few vowels.

Thank G-d I got clean.

One day at a time, man, one day at a timeā€¦

Careful there, Secretary Sessions. If you crack down on legal American marijuana, youā€™ll by default increase the trade in illegal Mexican marijuana, and as we all know, that trade could be used to smuggle a nuclear bomb into this country!!! Is that what you want?

Nope. Afraid not. The directive came from an Obama executive order based on the Cole Memo.
