These lefties have a kind of caricature about right and left, same as a lot of righties do (except that’s a different caricature).
Donald Trump is trying to bridge the divide, which lands him with a Thanksgiving dinner’s worth of stuff on his plate. He can’t possibly address it all. However he’s not come fulminating about a “marijuana menace” either. Like the good doctor, his first rule is do no harm — and prohibition always does constitutional harm. Always.
The battle of drug abuse should be one of churches and of faith. Churches, show why faith in God is better than partaking in some intoxicant until a body is stunned. Don’t just mouth about it. And don’t pretend that it isn’t going on vigorously in the shadows no matter what the human attempts to ban it are.
I think it’s simpler than that. The Left Stream Media is using every issue they can to divide support for Trump. They ginned up the idea that Sessions would come “guns blazing” after the states that have legalized pot. Even in this article, where they have to admit that his own task force isn’t recommending that, they’re trying to keep that coal alive by blowing rhetoric like “guns blazing” on it.
