Pot Stocks Tumble Jeff Sessions Rescinds Policies Allowing States to Legalize Weed

[old steel]

It's a plant, can someone inform this idiot?

Stone age thinking in the 21st century, talk about progress.


"Instead of going after actual criminals, this scumbag is going after peaceful people with bits of plants in their pockets. Fuck off!"

Don't dis Jeff, he's doing the lawd's work!

[old steel]

He has probably done more damage with this to distance Trump supporters than anything else up to this point.

Crash and burn party continues, unabated.

This will cause an opposite reaction - Congress will now be forced to rescind Cannabis Prohibition or be faced with an energized and outraged electorate that will defeat all candidates who support Prohibition. Candidates for national office will have to make their positions clear or they will go nowhere. The people are fed up with the war on cannabis.

Sessions is probably the moonshine runner, he looks like one anyways.

More money for hillbilly farms if its illegal in the cities.

[old steel]

I feel safer now.

Sooner or later congress has to deal with this now that it's sweeping the country. If they play it right and they will decriminalize it anyway, repubs can use it as a bargaining chip with democrats. Liberal states are getting the biggest financial benefit right now, I would think they would be willing to deal.

Sessions > troll,

You are right, the dam has been breached and no going back, Political critters that oppose will not retire in office, quicker than later.

I can not believe the old school propergands the gov still pumps out that has not a fact to base the shit they say. other than the huge legal income that is generated. Bunch of lawyers would be out of bizz and many prisons would have more usable room, if weed was legal. But still there are a bunch that still make money supporting the bullshit keeping it illegal, more money methinks can be generated if smoke was legal.

Give it time, I just hope I have enough of it to see it totally legal where I live, tax stamp and all.

But it will happen and be legal, time is the only variable, sessions should be in the X ring along with a few other political critters.

Like I said elsewhere, WWE's Donald the Devastator is a psy-op to discredit nationalism and conservatism for good. All part of the script.

He made himself a liar.

One phone call from the Oval Office and this ends. Such a phone call will not be forthcoming.

Little faggot Sessions is PROHIBITED BY LAW from attacking medical marijuana in states where it is approved by that state.

[Serpo]

Its too late,its already happened, weed legal ect,

Sessions will look like a complete idiot , which will rub off on Trump...........

[vacuum]

Not really sure why people are ripping Sessions over this.

All he is accomplishing is getting congress to tackle it and make it legal.

The republicans can now "trade" pot legalization for something like the wall. Its a magic trick where they legalize something they would have supported anyways and they also get something in exchange for doing so. What are the senators from California going to do? Vote against the pot legalization bill?

[vacuum]

Also, keep in mind that DACA is expiring in March.

Right as the democrats are starting to rally their troops to support DACA, they have basically the entire democratic base of pot heads raging.

How are democrats going to make January and February all about DACA when its going to be all about marijuana legalization?

Having read the Art of the Deal a number of years ago, Trump lays it out like this:


Think big
Protect the downside and the upside will take care of itself
Maximize your options
Know your market
Use your leverage
Enhance your location
Get the word out
Fight back
Deliver the goods
Contain the costs
Have fun

Whether or not if this is the strategy taking place time will tell. Honestly though Sessions claiming that the FEDs can tell the states what to do will just push the states to stand up FINALLY and protect their own interests.

With so much lawbreaking (https://thenationalsentinel.com/2018/01/02/trump-to-doj-jail-to-abedin-comey-calls-on-deep-state-doj-to-act/) by Hillary Clinton and members of former President Obama’s inner circle that has severely harmed U.S. national security, while at the same time destroying the public’s trust in our justice system, you’d think that Attorney General Jeff Sessions would have more than enough of a caseload to keep him and his prosecutors busy for years.
You’d think that. But you’d be wrong.
Instead of going after ‘high crimes’ committed by public servants that put our republic in grave danger, Sessions is instead hyper-focused on…pot.
Now, it seems, Trump’s AG believes marijuana poses a bigger threat to public law and order than, say, mishandling reams of classified information that can be used by our enemies to blackmail our officials, undermine our diplomatic efforts, and generally put all 323 million-plus Americans in grave danger.
Sessions has decided it’s more important to go after states whose voters have given their approval to measures legalizing the recreational use of marijuana, just like decades ago voters persisted and got their federal lawmakers to repeal the constitutional amendment outlawing the sale and consumption of alcohol.
As reported by The Associated Press (https://apnews.com/19f6bfec15a74733b40eaf0ff9162bfa), Sessions has lifted an Obama-era policy that prevented federal authorities from cracking down on the marijuana industry and trade in states where the drug has been made legal. Sessions says he’ll now leave it up to individual federal prosecutors to decide what to do when state law conflicts with federal law (https://cbds.news/2017-12-15-2017-the-year-of-unprecedented-assaults-on-your-freedom.html) (the latter of which still considers pot an illegal substance — more on that in a moment).
“In deciding which marijuana activities to prosecute under these laws with the Department’s finite resources, prosecutors should follow the well-established principles that govern all federal prosecutions” including the seriousness of a crime and its impact on the community, Sessions wrote to prosecutors in a one-page memo.
Sessions’ decision comes just three days after pot was legalized in California, which of course is at odds with the Justice Department and the Trump administration’s efforts to curb illegal immigration and deport those in the country who broke the law to enter. (Related: As California legalizes pot, few smokers realize cannabis is often contaminated with pesticides, mold, heavy metals and chemical toxins (http://medicalmarijuanaupdate.com/2018-01-01-california-legalize-pot-smokers-cannabis-contaminated-pesticides-mold-heavy-metals.html).)
While there are some prosecutors who have already come out and said they won’t aggressively pursue pot use where it is ‘legal’ via state law, like Colorado, you can be sure that others will, perhaps in a bid to curry favor with the boss.
But even some Republicans who are generally more ‘law-and-order’ oriented than Democrats are shaking their heads at Sessions’ decision. That would include Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who called Sessions’ policy change “disruptive” and “regrettable,” and Sen. Cory Gardener, who represents Colorado, “one of eight states that have legalized marijuana for recreational use,” the AP noted.
He said Sessions promised him before being confirmed to his attorney general post that he would not pursue a change to the Obama-era policy.
As a candidate, Trump said pot use and legalization should be left up to the states, and that’s exactly the right position to take. But the problem is, recreational pot use remains against federal law, and Obama, the ‘constitutional law professor,’ darned well knew that. So the remedy is for Congress to send Trump legislation making recreational pot use a state’s choice. That will solve the problem.
Meantime, Sessions is allowing the Deep State to pursue a witch-hunt probe against his boss while allowing Hillary & Co. to continue breathing free air.
That’s just unforgivable.
“By declaring war on legalized cannabis (http://www.cbds.news/), Jeff Sessions demonstrates once and for all that he is hopelessly out of touch with America and incapable of focusing on the far greater priorities of investigating Uranium One and FBI corruption,” said Mike Adams, editor, and founder of Natural News. “It’s time for Sessions to step down.”

Hello, The federal government set out certain criteria that, if followed, would allow states to implement their own laws mostly without intervention.
Thank you
