honestly I'm just bemused that this one particular aspect of Trump and Sessions wiping their asses with other people's lives gets a Very Serious Concerned Thread

it actually makes perfect sense that ppl would be especially concerned about getting locked up for a drug that almost everybody does

not a lot of undocumented immigrants on these forums but probably a lot of weed smokers you feel me?

hell loving yeah he's going to try, Sessions is currently asking Congress to strip protections on medical marijuana providers so can lynch them or something

quote:

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is asking congressional leaders to undo federal medical-marijuana protections that have been in place since 2014, according to a May letter that became public Monday.

The protections, known as the Rohrabacher-Farr amendment, prohibit the Justice Department from using federal funds to prevent certain states "from implementing their own State laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession or cultivation of medical marijuana."

In his letter, first obtained by Tom Angell of Massroots.com and verified independently by The Washington Post, Sessions argued that the amendment would "inhibit [the Justice Department's] authority to enforce the Controlled Substances Act."

Trump's DOJ gears up for crackdown on marijuana

The Trump administration is readying for a crackdown on marijuana users under Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

President Trump’s Task Force on Crime Reduction and Public Safety, led by Sessions, is expected to release a report next week that criminal justice reform advocates fear will link marijuana to violent crime and recommend tougher sentences for those caught growing, selling and smoking the plant.

On Wednesday, Sessions reportedly re-established a controversial criminal asset seizure program ahead of the committee’s recommendations.

Local law enforcement leaders say a crackdown appears to be next, though they argue there’s no need for it.

Weed doesn't have to be legal anyway. The decriminalization states are doing right in my opinion. And cops enforcing drug laws in a racist way has always and will always happen, if you don't like it you should blame your mayor not the President or the Attorney General.

this is an extremely bad and dumb opinion, like one of the worst ones i've ever read

you do know that in the decrim states weed is an "arrest this black/latino person for free" card right? decrim is bullshit, its the war on drugs for everybody except upper class white people

Legalize It
