Attorney General Jeff Sessions made a cataclysmic mistake by rescinding Obama-era federal marijuana policies, according to Roger Stone, President Trumps former campaign adviser.
Mr. Stone, 65, formed a bipartisan, pro-marijuana lobbying group earlier this year, the United States Cannabis Coalition, dedicated to influencing federal level decision makers, including the president, so they honor states rights and state mandated marijuana laws as well as reform our antiquated and failed federal drug laws, according to its website.
Mr. Stone, the presidents campaign adviser through August 2015, criticized the attorney generals recent decision to roll back marijuana protections during a luncheon Friday at the Tiger Bay Club of Central Florida, the Orlando Sentinel reported afterwards.
The Department of Justice has outlawed marijuana for decades, but the Obama administration put in place policies that allowed dozens of states to legalize the plant without prompting federal interference. Mr. Sessions nullified those policies on Thursday, however, casting uncertainty over the future of existing medical and recreational marijuana programs already in place across the country.

What do you mean by: “The Washington Times...never mind.”
That happens to be the conservative newspaper in Washington, DC. It is NOT the WaPo by a long shot.
AF is not completely wrong.
The WOD is an institution that supports mortgages, pensions, college tuitions, vacations... it is anything but a war — it’s an arrangement.
A serious war would only involve one rule: Mandatory capital punishment for convicted dealers.

Anyone who goes around telling everyone the Tenth Amendment is dead and gone is rolling over for big fedgov. That’s reality.
Ok prove it isn't and we can talk.
The Tenth amendment is dead until they find a reason for it not to be and it will have nothing to do with constitutionality, but personal gain. The orators have long been dead and it is now all about the money and the power.
Many go to Washington with the idealism you seem to have but they are ground down eventually. I don't like it but denying it doesn't fix anything, neither does the ballot box.
What does that have to do with marijuana?
It doesn't stay with the pot head he spreads it around just like any other disease.
Do you want to go to the same time as prohibition? Not sure why people are on this site if they don’t believe in liberty.
Libertarians never get it.
