TapTheForwardAssist posted:Public opinion polling in the US shows around 50+% approval for recreational cannabis and 70+% approval for medical cannabis; I don't know of any simple polling on Islam to compare that too since most polls appear more nuanced, but suffice to say I imagine that weed is more popular than Muslims in the US. Right, but are raids of patients likely to spark any backlash? I know it's a bit unprecedented, but then again so is the mess we're in now

TapTheForwardAssist posted:If it's any consolation, the Shafer Report, with which President Nixon did wipe his rear end, probably had an influence on a good dozen states decriminalizing weed in the 1970s, and the overall momentum which slowly built up to what we have today. Though honestly I don't see it cited much directly in current weed media, which seems a shame. Though I'd also like to see the 1894 Indian Hemp Commission Report cited just because it's pretty cool and I should probably sit down and read the whole thing sometime. That would certainly be interesting, but after the Duterte interaction I'm not so optimistic.

It's more a question of practicality than anything. It'd take an absolutely ridiculous increase in funding, some way to overcome the courts being less likely to convict over low level offenses, and a huge number of suits on tenth amendment grounds. Still, I'm pretty horrified at the prospect despite the hurdles needed to be cleared.

If it makes you feel any better, Sessions may not be doing much in the weed world just yet. A while back he took a meeting with Gov. Hickenlooper (D-Colo):quote:Hickenlooper’s chief of staff, Doug Friednash, tells us the hour-long meeting to discuss Colorado’s cannabis laws and the threat of federal intervention went amicably. The biggest takeaways, Friednash said, are that the new attorney general is far more focused on other priorities, like securing the border with a wall, than in disrupting our legal cannabis marketplace.

wrt the attorneys, I guess that's what that flurry of appointments was last week. MA has a new US attny as of Dec 21 experienced in drug trafficking cases, but his stance isn't immediately clear on the subject. My guess is not too kind on the state's approach given his extensive experience and politics. Gov. Baker (R-MA) doesn't support legalization, but stated that they support the will of the voters and are forging ahead with legalization Office of Gov. Baker posted:The administration [Baker admin] believes this is the wrong decision and will review any potential impacts from any policy changes by the local U.S. Attorney’s Office GonadTheBallbarian fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Jan 4, 2018 |

He'd be stupid to not try a hail Mary at this point. Unfortunately even if it gets voted on in the Senate (Mitch wouldn't allow it), it will get blocked by Pete Sessions in the house, killing it. gently caress you, Texas.
