“The task force revolves around reducing violent crime and Sessions and other DOJ officials have been out there over the last month and explicitly the last couple of weeks talking about how immigration and marijuana increases violent crime,” said Inimai Chettiar, director of the Brennan Center's Justice Program.

Not everyone agrees, and that's fine w moi. That said, I happen to agree that marijuana increases crime, and it messes up a lot of young folks and sends them down the wrong path.

And I guess the “Gun” is responsible for firearms deaths too, is that it? Get a clue, causation is not attributable to coincidence. Canibis is and has been a God given plant to all. It has been proven that its use can provide relief to many who suffer. Sessions needs to focus on the “Big Rocks”!

...marijuana messes up a lot of young folks and sends them on the wrong path....

You say that at great peril on FR. A lot of freepers are pro-marijuana. I agree with you. Anything that affects someones mind, legal or illegal, has an impact.

This link between pot and crime is a false one.
