I support sessions here 100%!! Stop dope!!
Once it’s legal, it’s off the political spectrum table.
Thing is, it’s really easy to grow your own. I used do do it before I quit using it (1977). And that was in rainy Seattle.
Kratom is in their radar cross hairs, a relative of the coffee plant. Works on pain with out the HIGH of Weed. And can be used as a tea, though the taste is not pleasant, or put into capsule form. It’s legal in all 50 states still, FDA wants it banned can’t have competition to PIG PHARMA harmful pills.
Indiana prison just ‘lost’ 8K+ Neurotin addictive pain pills. It’s more addictive than 5 mg of NORCO. Tons of side effects, Lyrica is just as bad 50% react negatively to both.

Where have these “freedom lovers” been the past 15 years when virtually every one of our Constitutionally protected rights have been taken away and liberty on life support?
Cowering in fear like the wussies they are.
But the prospect of abundant and legal weed causes them to find religion all of a sudden.
Sorry but you are talking rot. The same sort of rot that people who smoke marijuana babble. “The country has grown too big for a powerful, centralized Federal government.” Really ? then perhaps Americans should forget about this silly concept of a national consensus and laws that promote such nationalism and culture. If you accept this bizarre definition of voluntary Federalism, then you really should be disappointed that the South lost the Civil War. Or perhaps you should carefully study the transition of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire and reflect on how ideals, practices and institutions were devolved and transformed. History does repeat because human nature does not change.
In TN fireworks are permissive by county. Shelby Co home of Memphis forbids them, Tipton Co that is a border county permits them so the Fireworks dealers set up just over the Co line and do a booming business from both counties.
“The drug war has caused far more harm than good.”
There was never a ‘war on drugs’. It is and always was a ruse.
But the war on liberty rages on virtually unabated.
Everybody that push for legalized weed is from the swamp. And why is that?
Restart? When did the Federal government repeal the laws against Marijuana?
Don't you mean it's a shame that idiot states allowed people to start up these illegal businesses without changing federal law and they just assumed nobody was going to make them obey the federal law?
Put the blame where it belongs; on people who did not change the law before they started down this path.
Good info, Thanks! Don’t know if you know of my tale of woe going through opioid addictions with my ex and his son. Oy! I wouldn’t wish any of that on my worst enemy.
Maybe Hillary, though. *SMIRK*
Well then, By God have them tell their congressmen to repeal the law against it. This sort of poll is just another type of lying. If this poll was true, congress would have already acted.
Constantly repeated, and completely incorrect. The only reason people repeat this crap is because they do not comprehend what happens when you don't fight a war on drugs.
China is what happens. 100 million people killed, generations impoverished, one of the worst disasters in human history, and all because they made drugs legal.
No. The Drug war is by far the lesser of the two evils, and it has done much good compared to what would have happened had we let drugs do to us what they did to China.
It should most certainly be the government's business. We have already had this experiment, and a government that didn't intervene when it's population started getting strung out on drugs, collapsed.
No government and no society can survive unfettered drug legalization. China was turned into an impoverished basket case by legalized drugs, and millions of people died as a consequence of it. China is only in this century getting over the effects of the stupid drug legalization of the 19th century.
Drug legalization there caused massive upheavals and massive deaths, as well as ruined families, ruined economic activity, and horribly damaged their society.
It's taken them a hundred years to finally start getting over the mess created by legalizing drugs there.
the war on drugs is really a war on civil liberties.
Not at all. The First duty of any government is to insure it's survival, and that of it's people.
So glad he is finally enforcing Federal law that some states thought they could simply ignore when they didn’t like it.
It is a necessary effort to prevent the nation from going into a drug fed death spiral as happened to China when they legalized drugs.
It’s the laws regulating marijuana, and the reasons for them, that are in conflict, not Sessions.
And by doing his job, Sessions will make Congress do its job and hopefully they’ll satisfactorily address these longstanding conflicts.
I imagine the pressure is building to make this happen, too, and not just from the medical and recreational users and abusers.
It’s quite a remarkable plant and everyday I get more and more email offers and opportunities to get in before the boom(!) and become one of the next “marijuana millionaires!”
I’m sure there will be a lot of them, too, once the laws change.
All of the above and more because of the war on drugs. I can understand a prohibition on hard drugs but grass? Pot is not a hard drug and should at the very least be decriminalized.
“The country has grown too big for a powerful, centralized Federal government.”
allendale: Really ?
Me: Yes, really. Read the following from JR and don’t be a swamp-sucker =>
