Sessions: 'We don't need to be legalizing marijuana'

[ill]

epic juelzing

i told someone else, and i'll tell you the same; when sessions hits as many dispensaries as eric holder's hypocritical ass, then we have a discussion. until then, im not going to argue with you about your speculations

Tbh I think this situation is a much bigger risk than you think. For good or bad, Trump has been pretty on point with following through on his promises. Sessions is enough of a POS that he'd go to war against the states. The states aren't going to kick Feds out if they come and in our state, MA, there are feds everywhere already. The heroin epidemic is bringing serious alphabet boys into our state and while they care "less" about pot, they still care. Police were pissed after decrim/legalization that they couldn't use pot for probable cause anymore since its so easy to identify by the odor. They're still salivating at the chance to fukk up some potheads day. There are def more "good" cops now that are indifferent to it but the old guard and the up and coming guys trying to make careers will most def bust you. Local police just came down on that delivery service in Quincy that was medical-only. shyts about to get way worse and I wouldn't be surprised if our rec law gets delayed again.

what was he a hypocrite for? allowing the DEA to raid medical marijuana dispensaries that weren't following california's medical marijuana law? the federal govt is telling you they're looking the other way by even allowing you to have legalization laws at the state level in the first place and then you abuse it and that's what happens. they also thought obama wouldn't be as strict with the enforcing of the medical/recreational distinction in a state that only allowed medical and they decided to test them and found out they thought wrong.

you're the one jeuelzing, but but sessions saying they won't look the other way isn't him actually saying he won't look the other way. trump making a distinction between medical and recreational isn't him actually making a distinction. this is all something else.

spicer speaks for the trump admin. if you don't understand that by now then i don't know what to say. you think the press secretary is his own man/woman or something? nothing they say belongs to them.

The feds don't actually have to go into every dispensary themselves. They can sue the states/dispensaries and win 'legally'. That'll give them the right to allow federal funding to local agencies for the purposes of eradicating recreational operations. I don't even think they need to take it to court since the federal law is clear and this will be tried in federal court. Sessions will just keep with his company line of "we're going to enforce the laws on the books" and will be allowed to do whatever he wants. I have no doubt the states will fight him in court but that doesn't mean they'll win. I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled federal funding from states unless they eliminate rec.

He threatened to defund California

Don't get me wrong, I hope you're right and I'm just fear mongering but for now theres too much uncertainty to think its all good.

All i keep seeing in here is @the cac mamba juelzing after being presented with evidence of what the trump cabinet may do.

No where is the evidence about obama raiding dispenseries?

Is this a result of their being more dispensaries or just saying, "If you're going to do it you're going to do it legally."

Obama’s War on Pot

let's not act like these were some little mom and pop dispensaries who were just minding their own business and the jackboot feds came and took away the sick people's medicine.

But law enforcement officers said the targeted dispensaries were suspected fronts for commercial drug dealing — not those who were complying with the state’s marijuana law in good faith. During a related series of raids in 2011, Pierce County spokesman Ed Troyer told the Seattle Times: “We don’t want to disrupt patients’ legitimate right to medical marijuana but we need it to be conducted under the rules.” He said his county worked with federal officials to selectively target those who had been warned they were not complying with state law.

Montana U.S. Attorney Michael Cotter said there was "probable cause that the premises were involved in illegal and large-scale trafficking of marijuana."

"When criminal networks violate federal laws, those involved will be prosecuted," he said.

[..]

"We have made clear that we are not going to look the other way while significant drug-trafficking organizations try and shield their illegal efforts from investigation and prosecution through the pretense that they are medical dispensaries," Justice Department spokeswoman Jessica Smith said.

and I suspect there were more raids because there were more dispensaries and people were under the illusion that it would be a free for all under obama:

The raids stunned medical marijuana advocates, many of whom believed the Obama administration's policy was to leave states with medical marijuana laws alone.

I'm definitely not a fan of expanded use of marijuana," he said. "States they can pass the laws they choose. I would just say it does remain a violation of federal law to distribute marijuana throughout any place in the United States, whether a state legalizes it or not."

Most states have some limits on it and, already, people are violating those limits," the attorney general said. "We're going to look at it. ... and try to adopt responsible policies."

 

[re'up]

A guy that came up when I was a teenage, in my neighborhood, got indicted in 2010 for running two dispensaries in San Diego, it was a federal case, and he got 8 years. He was a drug trafficker his whole life, and he forfeited 375,000, a Range Rover, all his chains and watches, it was legit prosecution. They made an example of him, but he wasn't a good samaritan, trying to get patients medicine. Not that I disagree morally with how he made money, but it wasn't a witch hunt. What Sessions seems to be hinting at, is a roll back of state legislation, and possible prosecution and targeting of 'recreational shops' vs 'medical shops', San Diego only has the latter now. There are fed cases to be made, if they wanted to for some of these shops.
