FuriousxGeorge posted:Not enforcing the federal laws actually helped a lot. If a Republican was in office they could have stopped the industry before it started. Now, it's a much tougher sell to try and put the genie back in the bottle. Obama and Holder did enforce federal law. Or are you forgetting all the DEA raids they approved on dispensaries in California and other states? He also deported vast numbers of immigrants and grew the surveillance state to the massive bloated thing it is now. Obama wasn't a good guy by any stretch of the word.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...l-office-couch/quote:At Wednesday's annual Washington Press Club Foundation's congressional dinner — a fundraiser for journalism scholarships and a lighthearted gathering of Washington's media and congressional elite — Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.) made a cringe-worthy joke about that now-famous photo of Kellyanne Conway kneeling on the Oval Office sofa.

AFAIK scheduling of substances is strictly, under the purview of the DEA. Since the DEA is lead by a cabinet level position, the president could unilaterally deschedule various drugs. This by itself wouldn't make anything legal, but it would undercut many of the federal drug laws and some state laws that refer to federal scheduling for their laws and sentencing. It would 100% be a good and necessary first step, and most importantly the president could do it unilaterally without having to play 9 dimensional chess. But that was too much effort for our President.

When you think about it, Lenin was a centrist keeping trotsky and stalin in check. There's no difference between Lenin and the Democratic Party (I heard they agree on 95% of positions)

It's like the old video game adage: everyone worse than me sucks, everyone better than me is a tryhard.
