Trump Overrules Sessions: Promises To Protect States' Pot Legalization Rights

[TheCount]

Same desperate argument in every thread.

the God Emperor pinkie swore that you could keep your weed?

What happens when he's not the president anymore?

 

[acptulsa]

The keystone of anti-liberty is crumbling.

That's the keystone? Really?

The Tenth Amendment is DOA, The Fourth Amendment is running close behind, Second Amendment is under siege, and California is declaring itself a First Amendment-Free Zone, but so long as we can buy weed in a store we're still going the right direction?

Yep, escapism is all you are left with thanks to your fellow sheeple. Another hit?

escapism

I think you're confusing herb with alcohol..

MAGA - Marijuana Agriculture Growing Again

I for one, welcome my new cannabis overlords.

Yep, escapism is all you are left with thanks to your fellow sheeple. Another hit?

Escapism? No,, Pain relief, Mood stabilizer,, anti-depressant,, a reality cushion perhaps. But no escape.

You are arguing semantics given how widespread the usage is. Our existence is painful.

I'm itching for another Q leak, you got one I could bum off ya? I think Q is the only one who understands whats really going on.

I'd say a bit of each.

Unprecedented would be to reduce everything to Schedule ZERO unlisted, and repeal all of the illegal unconstitutional related legislation.

With the title of the thread that's what I was expecting but then I remembered Trump won and not Rand Paul, I am going to make one entitled Trump Announces Unprecedented Support for Legalizing Steroids after he orders bombing on another country without authorization from congress again.

SCOTUS ruling legalizing sports gambling is dropping soon. That ruling will open up cannabis legalization under the 10th. You can "thank" Trump if you wish but he'd be taking credit for something already planned (politician's bread and butter, credit for things they had nothing to do with). State revenues will REQUIRE new taxation avenues and job opportunities and they know it.

I have a broken back.. an injury about 12 years old.. Persistent ..

I have also fought with Depression my whole life..

Legal Cannabis is a Gift from God.
I am more convinced that prohibiting it was a great and malicious evil.

 

[TheCount]

We will get what he wants and then renege, like always

I don't think that he will renege, but a promise not to enforce a law 1) does not actually change anything, and 2) further cements the concept that the executive can pick and choose what they will and will not enforce.

 

[Swordsmyth]

I don't think that he will renege, but a promise not to enforce a law 1) does not actually change anything, and 2) further cements the concept that the executive can pick and choose what they will and will not enforce.

He has promised to support a new law.

 

[TheCount]

He has promised to support a new law.

And Obama promised to support new DACA laws.

 

[Aratus]

Did he pinkie swear?

good Q!

 

[shakey1]

I seem to recall Obummer promising about the same thing, then proceeded to raid medical weed outlets... will have to just wait & see.

 

[Rider420]

I think that it is extremely important to let states have a right to legalize marijuana, after reading https://cannasos.com/news/politics/...ge-missouris-contitution-to-legalize-cannabis I only became more confident about it.

Senators File Marijuana Bill Following Trump Pledge To Respect State Legalization

By Tom Angell
June 6, 2018


U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Cory Gardner (R-CO) held a press conference on Thursday to discuss a far-reaching bill they are filing to end the federal war on marijuana.

The move comes after Gardner cut a deal with President Trump to support such legislation in exchange for the senator ending a blockade on Justice Department nominees he began in protest of U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s decision earlier this year to rescind Obama-era guidance generally protecting state cannabis laws.



The draft bill, details of which Marijuana Moment first reported last month, would amend the federal Controlled Substances Act to exempt state-legal marijuana activity from its provisions.

The Strengthening the Tenth Amendment Entrusting States (STATES) Act would also protect banks that work with legal cannabis businesses and legalize industrial hemp.

Gardner said at the press conference that he spoke to President Trump about marijuana on Thursday morning and that he remains supportive of an approach that respects state laws.

“We can’t go backwards. We can only go forwards,” the president said, according to Gardner.

Warren told the Boston Globe that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) “has pledged to allow a vote on the bill.”
