Conservatives (Republicans) are the definition of insanity! Doing the same thing over expecting diffrent results. Ok, first off Trump had been taking credit for the economy. This is still Obama's economy! Once "trickle down " kicks in, plan for another recession at best. This guy is crazy enough to use nukes, so we may never know? How many republican presidents have to fuck up the economy before they realize IT DOES NOT WORK! I view R's as racists with totally cloeses minds. They would vote for Hitler if there was an R next to his name. This whole thing is ridiculous. You know what the 2nd largest industry in Texas is? Private prisons. Ya know where Sessions has most of his investments? Private prisons.It's odd that conservatives have always stood on the side of states rights when it suits them but resort to federalism when it doesn't.
WASHINGTON - Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Thursday rescinded an Obama-era policy that paved the way for states to legalize marijuana. Instead, Sessions will allow federal prosecutors in states where pot is legal to decide how to enforce the federal ban on marijuana sale or possession.
Conversely, Obama (ultra-liberal) falls on the side of States rights.
Under former President Barack Obama, the Department of Justice indicated to states in 2013 that while marijuana remained illegal under U.S. law, federal law enforcement officials would not interfere in states that chose to legalize cannabis as long as they hewed to certain restrictions such as barring minors from being able to buy it and prohibiting transport of the drug into states where it wasn't legal. That memo is what Sessions rescinded Thursday.
The thing is, Sessions was just taking orders from Trump...Maybe Trump owed him a favor for sticking around a year lol. This was all about getting rid of ALL Obama's policiesI was a conservative but am totally sick of the lack of compassion in the party. I came to the conclusion a long time ago that the right and the left are both the enemies of the common person. Power and all the things that lead to power including money and influence are their motivation and any good will that would be for the people is unimportant.
Never liked Sessions and I think he is an ignorant ass.
Since any actions of the Federal resources will be up to the states Attorneys General the only time something might happen is if you get an AG in your state that is a heartless dick. In states like Oregon, Washington and Cali that is unlikely to happen. Probably not worth freaking out over but Session's move is very dickish as one would expect.
Agree, I hold some traditional conservative views that involve smaller government and states rights. The problem is that the Republican party doesn't really represent those views any longer. They have sided with the religious right and tea party nut-jobs. As far as their reach in California and the western states goes, he just appointed new attorney generals in those states in his thirst to gain control in those states.I was a conservative but am totally sick of the lack of compassion in the party.

Thinking about this has really upset me. To some people this is their livelihoods.Money talks.. empty pockets walk..simply too much money to be made..The Grey's an Mantids are for cannabis. They were the ones that gave it to us anyway.
...I found a group of Mason's that think it's ok too... doesn't mean they all do it now guys!
Ever noticed how agressive alcohol using societies are so agressive..?
Yep, latest poll says 68% of Americans are for full legalization.
Politics aren't real. Corporations write the laws.
The concept of conservatives hating pot is absurd. Conservatives don't vote in my experience. They completely disregard the law. Maybe you folks have been watching too much USA wrestling. It should be obvious its rigged,but instead, the delusion gets stronger to maintain the illusion.
