President Trump was elected to drain the swamp; a detour to incarcerate potheads is wrongheaded and counterproductive. Moreover it gives the rats a very clear path to electoral victory in 2018 and 2020. Plainly put a majority of liberals and many conservatives and libertarians oppose the war on (some) drugs on both moral and practical grounds. While this isn’t quite the third rail of politics nationwide, it is in some areas.
This is a loser issue and the Trump administration shouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole. The problem right now is opioids, not pot.

Unfortunately he doesn’t seem to understand the damaging effects of prohibition politics. Nor the negative effects of stupid anti MJ laws on otherwise peaceful citizens.
AG Sessions is great on many things, but seems to have a blind spot here.

What he’s probably doing is applying the same standards to the American people that he would apply to his own family members.
As all good leaders would do.

Damage from smoking marijuana to lung tissue and function is as bad as smoking cigarettes.Do you support banning cigarettes?

In this Land of the Free, government officials have no authority to treat adult citizens like their family members.
If you want government to be your daddy, try North Korea.

[from reasonisfaith's FR home page:]
I do believe in socialism there is a particular leaning toward sin and sinful behavior. In socialism we find: 1) a desire to control the lives of others
I find in you a desire to control the lives of others.

No because it doesn’t kill the intellectual passion and normal work productivity of American citizens.
How much easier would it be for enemy nations to defeat an America full of potheads?

This desire, in one form or another, is present in every single member of society.

In a nutshell:
If a person uses marijuana for medical reasons, it seems legitimate.
But if they use it for recreational purposes while pretending to use it for medical reasons, it’s wrong.

Your comment implies a false choice between the socialist’s desire for totalitarianism on one side and absolute anarchy on the other.

Speak for yourself.
And even among those who do, some, such as minimal-government conservatives, keep it in check - others, such as nanny-statists, indulge it shamelessly.

Yeah, I got a medical MJ “reccommendation” in LA. It was bull... go sit with some crappy doctor and tell her what’s wrong until you figure out something that qualifies, and then she gives you the script. Just crabby enough about it that it feels like she didn’t just hand it to you.

I’d say the best system of government has been exclusively the product of western culture.

Yes, the governmental principle I support is a product of western culture.
