PING!
I see the point, I see the point, that we will go around in circles on this issue. On the one hand marijuana is illegal under federal law, but on the other hand, many states have legalized marijuana use either for medical reasons or just plain recreational use. How does that reconcile? If nothing else it keeps attorneys busy.
Cracking down on them all is simply not an option. Time to end the feds' unconstitutional War on Pot.
would rather see guns banned nationwide rather than let states continue to pile gun control laws on top of more gun control...
I see this as a states rights issue. Let the states decide.
Somewhere in Alabama Magoo has steam coming out of his ears.
...and now what does the Left do? Barr is pushing to make their DREAM COME TRUE - in the legalization of pot.
...but Barr is making their NIGHTMARES COME TRUE, in exonerating Trump, and then turning his sights to coup plotters.
My stars! What’s a Leftist to? (bobby pins please)
Until we change the federal law, the feds should crack down hard on these states selling narcotics. The Federal law preempts state marijuana laws 100%. Barr is exactly right!! This guy is becoming an Icon.!!
Has any state in the union set a legal limit for THC in the bloodstream of drivers, anyone know?
Until that’s done, seems to me like we’re putting cart before the horse.
Wow! I think that is called Federalism. If it is not in the Constitution then the States can do what they want. The operative word here folks is “not in the Constitution” like the Amendments explicitly the Second.
Just allow the banks to do business with the Pot community and the war is over.
Yep, legalization is going to get done under Trump. The current half slave, half free approach is a recipe for conflict. Just let it be like alcohol laws.
Is Barr going down the pot rabbit hole just like Sessions?
I figured that something like this would soon come to pass.
The peasants mostly want to dope themselves up these days, and the rulers increasingly go for it because doped up people are easier to control.
Plus, more taxes for them to spend on their pet projects.
I really like this AG. Not just this, but the past few days he has really impressed me as being a wise man. Hope it continues.
One of my friends lives in a condo. A new owner moved into a unit in her building. The new owner smokes pot-—all day—all night. Doesn’t work. California legalized marijuana. My friend’s condo smells of pot all day long. My friend has to leave her windows open all day and all night no matter what the weather because this person chooses to smoke and doesn’t care how he affects others. Two children live in the other unit (Three condos in a building) All have to suffer the consequences of this new owner smoking. Trying to get him on the “nuisance” CCR, but the HOA attorney says if he fights it, it might go nowhere. California has the strictest Declaration laws when you sell your house, so you have to declare that you have a pot smoker in the building. Who would buy with that information—except another pot smoker.
Good move on the part of Barr.
I suspect President Trump is with this.
Just like Sessions, it is not up to Barr.
Congress makes laws, DoJ enforces them.
One thing that is probably reasonable, would be for Congress to re-schedule marijuana under the Controlled Substance Act.
Currently, marijuana is listed as a schedule one drug - worse than Meth or fentanyl, and supposedly with no recognized medical use.
Schedule 3 or 4 would be more realistic, and would allow companies to be legally involved in production and distribution, subject to whatever regulations apply.
Mr Barr sounds like too rational of a person to have to waste his time speaking to the Congress critters.
