So Donald Trump is going to change things, right? One of the things that is going to change is the person appointed as Attorney General. Jeff Sessions is Trump’s top pick. And Sessions is against the “stink weed,” aka pot.
How the Washington marijuana industry is threatened, and how it is not
As Attorney General, Sessions wouldn’t have to change a single law or even have a constitutional amendment, because you know what is currently illegal? Smoking weed!
He could come with the Feds and raid every pot store and arrest ever pot seller and grower in a state that has legalized marijuana — including Washington. And there’s nothing anyone could say or do about this because it’s currently illegal at the national level. Despite state’s legalizing pot, the Feds still consider it illegal.
This is what the Dems get for loving the use of political force, and federal power.
But Democrats, you don’t get to be scared about this. This is what you’ve craved, and empowered, for the past eight years — strong-armed federal power.
As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
