In a statement Thursdayafternoon, the U.S. attorney pledged his office will prosecute federal marijuana crimes but suggested a preference to go after bulk traffickers and criminal gangs rather than organizations acting within state regulatory frameworks.
“This office will pursue federal marijuana crimes as part of its overall approach to reducing violent crime, stemming the tide of the drug crisis, and dismantling criminal gangs, and in particular the threat posed by bulk trafficking of marijuana, which has had a devastating impact on local communities,” Lelling said in a statement. “As with all of our decisions, we will continue to use our prosecutorial discretion and work with our law enforcement partners to determine resource availability, weigh the seriousness of the crime and determine the impact on the community.”
what are you, fukkin kidding me? they arent doing this exact same thing in colorado, going after dudes who are selling weight on the black market and skirting taxes? why is this statement remotely surprising?this doesnt say anything about letting people go to the store and buy a quarter. this says you cant show up in lawrence and let 20 p's go. like it's always been

and this from charlie
Gov. Charlie Baker's office called Sessions' rescission of the Cole Memorandum "the wrong decision" and said the Republicans will continue to support the CCC's work.
"The Baker-Polito Administration fully supports the will of the voters and the CCC's mission," a spokesman said in a statement. "The administration believes this is the wrong decision and will review any potential impacts from any policy changes by the local U.S. Attorney's Office."
State Attorney General Maura Healey, a Democrat, also blasted the decision, saying in a statement that the announcement "inexplicably directs federal law enforcement resources away from combatting an opioid epidemic that is ravaging our communities in order to focus on legalized marijuana."

San Diego US Attorney Backs Sessions' Pot Enforcement Policy
“The Department of Justice is committed to reducing violent crime and enforcing the laws as enacted by Congress. The cultivation, distribution, and possession of marijuana has long been and remains a violation of federal law,”
I have a feeling he's taking off the muzzle.

Trump has done wonders for the Democratic Party . I’ve been saying this since the beginning . They should thank him and champion everything he does . Too bad we don’t have no real independent candidates to capitalize off this .this is where ive been coming from the whole time

Agreed. Feds want big fish only. 100k/month or higher. Actually had some friends get popped by the Feds in RI last month. Only went after the millionaire that was involved. Rest of the crew didn’t get charged.

Here in Denver they are very organized and the shops, most of them are very nice and well maintained. It sucks tho because they get so packed sometimes, gotta go when they first open but now they open past 9pm and open at 8am. They used to all close by 7.
But yeah some shops get popped and some grow places are shut down. Runs smooth for the most part. Couple shops been robbed and dudes killed tho. It will happen.
