Perfect display of GOP double standards, authorita

Perfect display of GOP double standards, authoritarianism and hypocrisy. And big gubment when it suits them, of course.

'States rights' when it comes to those bathrooms, not so much when it come to weed.

And let's leave it up to that moralistic little hick of an AG while were at it. LOL!

It's all coming around to bite you in your asses, righties.

That would be an abrupt change from the federal policies of the last several years, and a big setback for the burgeoning legal marijuana industry. Marijuana is classified as a Schedule 1 controlled substance, which means federal law prohibits its use. But after Colorado and Washington declared recreational pot legal in 2012, President Obama famously said, “we’ve got bigger fish to fry,” indicating that his administration would look the other way instead of enforcing the federal law, which preempts state law.

Weed enthusiasts hoped Trump would be just as chill. In 2015, Trump said the question of legalizing pot should be a “state issue, state-by-state,” which, essentially it has been. A January report from a publication called Marijuana Business Daily concluded that “we will see a continuation of some form of the status quo.”

But the Trump administration has now signaled for the first time that it may disrupt the status quo. And the chief disrupter may not be Trump himself, but Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who is a longtime foe of legal marijuana.

During his confirmation hearing in January, Sessions was noncommittal on the issue, leaving himself open to either continuing the Obama policy or getting tougher. “I won’t commit to never enforcing federal law,” he said, somewhat elliptically.
