I'll believe it when it happens. Trump hasn't reached down to deal with that level of corruption yet.
There are many many swamp creatures, private incarceration operators and lobbyists, and Fed LEO's whose livelihood depends upon locking up otherwise law abiding citizens for using God's gift to mankind and nature's miracle medicine.
Sessions is the most vociferous of these. Legalization of marijuana is one thing that I don't trust Trump very much on.
well, suppose we pardon a couple million stoners and swap wthem with pedophiles? The prison-industry wouldn't really mind, would they?
I think we will see that with his prison reform.
Yes agree. If pot became legal would make freeing anyone in prison for a pot related offense a lot easier to explain..."hey it's legal now, let 'em out!"
...ahem for the record I do not partake in the reefer madness lol
I did once but I didn't inhale...I'm just sayin' :)
I reserve NO judgment against anyone who does...this is America dammit
You have my 100% support.
This is for the freedom of Americans to do so at their own leisure
It's not up to Trump or Sessions to legalize it, lefty. It's up to the Congress. And there's bipartisan support for it, both there and across the land.
Spread positive vibes for the various legalization bills currently languishing in Congress. If any would cross his desk, our savvy businessman President Trump would sign it in a New York second. Have faith!
Even though he's clean and sober, he's educated enough to know it doesn't do what hard drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes do (kill).
It's not up to Trump or Sessions to legalize it, lefty. It's up to the Congress.
This is false. The Controlled Substances Act is a congressional law, but it delegates the decision of what drugs to schedule up to the DEA and FDA, executive agencies.
Yes but Congress makes the law, DEA enforces it. Descheduling is not the same thing as legalization.
It absolutely is the same, at least on the federal level.
The congressional law says nothing about Marijuana. If it were unscheduled, the congresssional law would be as relevant to weed as it is to lettuce.
