I’ve always had a warm regard for Sessions. He not only spoke to the Russian ambassador, but he spoke to 29 other ambassadors.
Keep your filthy Democrat hands off our AG.
It still makes users stupid. Not a good thing to b smoking while on duty.
I think you right and that Colorado is on the way to proving your several points.
I believe NOTHING from the “news” media any more.
NOTHING.
Right on, DoobieDawg. Go after both.
So you want Sessions to enforce federal immigration laws but not federal drug laws?
Sanctuary States for illegal Drugs but no sanctuary for illegal aliens?
Seems inconsistent to me?
Should he not “faithfully execute” the laws of the United States?
Or should he pick and choose which laws should be faithfully executed like his predecessors?
If the MJ is grown and smoked in the same state and not interstate commerce, the federal government has no authority to prohibit or regulate. It falls to the states under the tenth amendment. Sessions is wrong on this issue. He should be sending his time bringing closure to the Hillary Clinton investigation and their foundation and indict real criminals.
“Sessions Just Confirmed ....” I thought he was confirmed almost a month ago? /s

Guess I didn’t make it clear. Marijuana has been juiced up since the 60s. It’s MUCH stronger.
When we talk about the DOJ enforcing all laws we might recall that it was necessary to pass a constitutional amendment to get national prohibition against the sale and transportation of alcohol. Where is the constitutional prohibition against the sale and transportation of marijuana? What changed, certainly not the Constitution?
Why do we conservatives countenance the usurpation of states rights to police the consumption of marijuana by the federal behemoth?
Have we failed to learn any lesson from prohibition? Have we utterly abandoned the 9TH and 10th amendments?
Of course our Constitution has changed, it has changed beyond recognition, it is changing every day and that without the knowledge much less the consent of the governed and the recognition of that very fact should lead us all to support The Article V movement to undo some of the harm. The Constitution is being amended every day by stealth, we ought to invoke the Article V remedy there for the people.
They are out. In full force.
Losing proposition trying to outlaw a weed. They might as well try to outlaw goatheads.
Its a plant.
It is a drug that alters reality for users. There should be some control over it’s use. There should be punishment for those who cause harm while under the influence (same as alcohol).
I am just saying it should be up the states to decide, not the Federal Government.
Either enforce the law as it is now written or change the Federal law to acknowledge and legalize the current situation in the numerous states.
Given how many states have legalized MJ and now depend on the tax revenue, the only practical solution is to quickly change the Federal law to allow MJ, and I mean quickly.
This issue can be compared to the failure to move on the Simpson-Mazzoli act of 1986 which required tightening the borders. See the immigration mess we have to resolve now? The longer we wait the the more disruptive the final solution will be.
The power over immigration is expressly a federal government power and is therefore supreme, the Supreme Court has consistently so held.
Those powers not expressly attributed to the federal government belong to the states. Those powers include the regulation of alcohol and drugs-or should.
We do not "pick and choose" the laws to be executed, the Constitution does.
Medical marijuana brings criminal enterprises to your state.
Interesting point.
This is Kabuki. Jeff just flipped the paranoia switch on these bastards. Paranoia is a known symptom of Marijuana ABUSE. LOL
