My God, does anyone think Sessions did the right thing?

Republicans rebuke Sessions over latest marijuana crackdown

Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced earlier this week that the Department of Justice will take a more hands-on approach with states that have legalized marijuana. It's a reversal from the policy under the Obama administration and it contradicts what Trump has previously said, which is that weed legalization is an issue that should be left up to the states, not the federal government. Axios' Alayna Treene breaks down what you need to know about Sessions' latest marijuana crackdown:

I was listening to a recent interview with Roger Stone, and he said that he thought the decision was more Pence's influence than Trump's. I don't doubt it. I'm pretty sure Trump could care less about pot one way or the other.

 

[Aba Incieni]

It's a political loser and a foolish move.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Sessions is as much a victim of Congressional Republicans’ inaction on Federal marijuana laws as were Obama’s AGs.

Obama’s AGs addressed the inaction correctly, Sessions has not.

The genie is out of the bottle. By the time I die recreational marijuana will probably be legal in all 50 states. They're fighting an unwinnable battle.

Why yes it is when the corporatist get to elect the president and not the populace..We need Mommy and Daddy to run our lives till we die..

Did you ever get over that ripped sphincter from your adoration of politicians?

It sort of has escaped everyone that there was no marijuana crackdown.

Nor should there be. This is a state to state issue and should have never been in the Federal Government hands.

GOP need to end this issue and if not then the Dempcrats better when they are in power!

I will vote against him for the Libertarian instead...

The amount of revenue these states create will have more republicans on board, as it should if they actually care about states rights.

Did Jeff Sessions Just Increase the Odds Congress Will Make Marijuana Legal?

 

[Staidhup]

Liberal and beltway minds do not comprehend the oath of office, or rather they choose to disavow laws that fail to support their agenda. Simply put, when one is sworn in, they pledge to protect the constitution and laws of the land.
All congress has to do is amend the existing drug law. To ignore federal law demeans the basis of our legal system, government, and fundamental rights afforded by the constitution.

then if he is as great of a leader as he says he is,then he should speak up and tell us his views on it....

Axios' Alayna Treene breaks down what you need to know about Sessions' latest marijuana crackdown:

Trump's hands are tied by the Controlled Substances Act of 1971 that lists pot as a Schedule 1 drug, that has no medical use, and is illegal even with a prescription

Congress can end the issue by removing Pot from Schedule I and sending the bill to Trump for signature.

What Sessions did would need to be done in order to reconcile federal law with what the states are doing, it's time to decriminalize marijuana possession...I think everyone, even Sessions knows this. Time to take the fight to the federal level, and it won't be a hard fight in all likelihood.

Laws matter.

It may have been Pence's idea. That is why we don't want the Donald gone until 2021. Pence and Session's together would screw up a lot of things. BTW Roger Stone is an advocate for legalization.
