Time for Sessions to Go: Jeff Sessions is ready to unveil the end of cannabis legalization

[Spatial Paradox]

if i have it right, he's not going after it himself. he's telling state AGs "go ahead and go after it if you want"

but blue state AGs where its legal aren't gonna do that, its political suicide seems like lip service

"The memo will be rescinded but it's not immediately clear whether Sessions will issue new guidance in its place or simply revert back to older policies that left states with legal uncertainty about enforcement of federal law."

this isnt action on his part

That isn't what's being said. This has nothing to do with state AGs.

Sessions will instead let federal prosecutors where pot is legal decide how aggressively to enforce federal marijuana law, the people said.

He's empowering federal prosecutors to enforce federal marijuana law whereas under the previous policy, they were instructed to take a hands-off approach to enforcing the law in states that had legalized it. Even if you live in a state that's legalized weed, the local U.S attorney could now decide to crack down on weed because it's still illegal under federal law. The legal weed industry won't be able to get off the ground in states that have legalized it if they're basically left at the mercy of the local U.S. attorney

This is a definite setback to marijuana legalization.

Do you not know what a U.S. attorney is?


You said state attorney generals in your first post. This actually deals with instructions to U.S. attorneys, who are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate to a four year term and serve until either a successor is appointed or the president removes them from office. They don't answer to local politics at all

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Weed being legal nation wide would rebuild everything. Roads, bridges, schools..crazy to think these old cacs can't get that through their racist heads. And white people love weed more than anyone.

He is a relentless troll, for whatever that is worth.

If you are pro weed then anything this racist fukk utters is bad for the legalization movement.

yeah, thats really put a dent in colorado's business get the fukk outta here

i guess ive learned from this thread that what i need to do now is hide under my bed and cry. thanks, HL :jaymelo:

 

[the cac mamba]

Yes they do.

we all know the feds are gonna hit some dispensaries its fukkin bullshyt

in a way, i kinda wish the last president could have mustered more than a "maybe weed isnt as bad as alcohol", being that that's why we voted for him. maybe a "hey america, the majority of you want legalization so i'm going to take steps on a federal level". its hard for me to act like something was taken away from me when obama was such a coward on it and didn't concede shyt

 

[the cac mamba]

He instinctively 's for anything the Trump admin does, dude can't help it, but we should be used to that.




Hopefully this backfires.

how the fukk am i caping by being critical of it HL, where "you arent outraged enough" = "support and caping"

and it will backfire. legalization isnt gonna be stopped by the likes of jeff sessions

The feds operate outside of state laws. State AGs have no say in whether or not the DEA conducts raids and people are hit with federal charges.
