If the American people are worried about freshly confirmed Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ approach to enforcing federal marijuana laws, he says they should get Congress to change them.
“It’s not so much the attorney general’s job to decide what laws to enforce. We should do our jobs and enforce laws effectively as we’re able,” Sessions said during his hearing. “The U.S. Congress made the possession of marijuana in every state — and the distribution — an illegal act. If that’s something that’s not desired any longer, Congress should pass a law to change the rule.”

That’s the way a nation of laws works. It’s pretty simple.
That’s the correct answer.
I love Sessions. God Bless DJT.
Sadly,the representatives don’t always follow the wishes of the people.
Nice quote!
Common sense! What a breath of fresh air. How long has it been since we heard such plain-speak?
If Trump wanted to end the protests... pushing for legalization would appease most of them.
Stay tuned for reefer madness from the dopey left.
He’s right. So let’s change them.

Bingo.
An interesting strategy.
Heh. Heh. Heh....
Gonna be fun!

Trump should say the same thing with DACA. That’s how you deal with things
Alabama common sense.
The issue is the feds have no constitutional authority for their failed “war on drugs”. Since the federal “War on Drugs” is unconstitutional, it is an act of tyranny and should be dismantled and abandoned.
Drug usage is a states’ issue and the citizens of each state, as Session says, must decide what they want to do about it..
This is NOT to be confused with the feds constitutional duty to protect the U.S. from “invasions” (Art IV, Sec 4) which includes not allowing immigrants who are illegal, enemies, and drug-pushers.
