California’s former top cop forms marijuana distribution firm in new age of legalization
Former California Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer is going from enforcing laws against marijuana to legally distributing the drug under the state’s new rules that allow the sale and possession of pot for recreational use.
With state-licensed sales of marijuana starting Jan. 1, Lockyer has co-founded a firm, C4 Distro, that will distribute packaged marijuana concentrates and edibles to stores in Los Angeles.
He says California’s new regulated system has a chance to be a model for the rest of the country.
“For me as somebody who was on the law enforcement side for so many years, I saw the inadequacies of the effort to regulate something just by calling it illegal,” Lockyer said. “I think legalizing will help stabilize and help legitimize this industry and result in better consumer protection and other public benefits.”
The hypocrisy of the obama wink and a nod of just ignoring laws needs to end.
>>Cite car accidents, opioid epidemic, rule of law as reasons for support
LOL. The real reason is more funding, better military hardware, and more opportunities to kill citizens to save them from drug abuse.
Sessions has done absolutely nothing about Hillary and Russia BS. Yet he has time to bust pot smokers.
I personally don’t smoke pot. I have prescriptions for about 8 years for relatively mild opiates. I hate them. If I miss one pill I start to go into withdrawal. I would use my states medical marijuana laws and try it, but for one thing. I can take all the legally prescribed opiates the doctor writes for me, but I get one canabis prescription and I lose my constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
Amusing. The Liberals had an huge celebration tearing down Confederate monuments. They as always show themselves to be hypocrites. If they don’t like a federal law, the South Carolina states rights advocates, they simply declare it effectively null and void in their jurisdiction be it sanctuary areas to contradict Federal immigration law or marijuana marketing to defy Federal drug laws. Pro lifers should try that tact with judicial abortion decrees. It would appear that this country no longer has a reasonable social consensus based on commonly held values. Look out. A modern Fort Sumter is on the horizon.
Guaranteed this is about property seizures.
The next hiring boom, and housing boom, will be the boom in the incarceration industry - just like the Energy industries, the Rule of Law will promote both Justice for Socially unJust, and peace and security for the rest of society!
How many other laws passed through Congress and signed by a president has DOJ decided not to enforce?? This action by DOJ and Obama to rule the law null and void can’t stand. Session did the right thing.

drug addition is exactly the same as it was before the ( failed ) war on drugs. the war on drugs has not stopped one person from becoming a addict.
Fixed it.
Sessions pushing the system into its proper realm - despite those who are upset with him.

Granny Clampett Session’s folly will do great harm. The MJ jackboots are way out of step with most voters.
Pot can grow in a swamp, maybe Sessions has misunderstood “draining the swamp”.
These threads all seem to align the same way. But the most disturbing are those who post that really don’t accept the conservative view here.
One can argue that pot is bad. There are several studies that point to that. One can argue that pot is good. There are new emerging studies that point to that. By the same token, anything in excess is bad regardless of the good and bad.
What folks here — on this particular forum — shouldn’t be able to argue is that — regardless of your position on pot itself — the laws that were used to implement its prohibition, including the 1937 Marihuana Act and the 1970 Controlled Substances Act, were derived and invented on very shaky Constitutional grounds. This is especially obvious when looking at what it took to prohibit — and make available again — alcohol.
You don’t have to be a pro-pot person to understand why this should and must be a State issue. Constitutionally, the Federal government has no right in this realm, unless they take the step of creating an Amendment that would override the boundaries of the 10th Amendment. And no, the Supremacy Clause should not apply here, as a strict reading of that clause states very clearly that it only applies to laws “made in Pursuance” of the Constitution — not laws outside of its purview.
Congress does need to act, but not to enforce it’s wrongly-derived law, but to fix it by passing it back to the States.
It is likely this will go to the Supreme Court with so many States now on board. I’m hoping that the Originalists on the court will rule with the Constitution, and not jump through hoops (like Roberts is want to do) to come up with some vaporous reason to keep Federal prohibition in place.
Oh Lordy. Here we go again with a pointless Drug War. We haven’t enriched the cartels enough. Of course the narcs need all that pocketable cash.
Of course the law enforcement industry supports this policy. It’s a huge money-maker for them.
