2016, possible new administration to crack down on cannabis?

[WeedFreak78]

Had a little conversation last night with some friends about legalization/decriminalization around the country. One friend brought up a possible scenario where the next administration could take a heavy handed approach against cannabis, start seriously enforcing federal law and clamping down on states. He thinks the feds have backed off to allow the industry to grow so when they do hit it will be worth it for them. I wouldn't put it past them, but don't think it will actually happen. We're probably going to end up with a R in the W. house, so it's not too far fetched. thoughts?

Then we'll just turn it in to a religion

I doubt if they have let this happen to make it worth their while. I just so happens that morales slip (society allows them to slip) when the economy goes to shit. Vices pay the bills.

I think reversals are very likely. And yes, the Fed could change position on a dime. But I kind of doubt it. I wouldn't rule it out though. I think we are over the hump and regardless of what happens in the short term, the war is mostly over.

Hope so. Too many posts to dig through here, need to thin things out a bit.

or you can just restrain your rhetoric to your local klan chapter where it belongs.

well jeb bush will be the next president. Because he's a bush and no one wants another Democrat. Obama ruined it for future democrats. Jeb bush is pro pot.

also 2 senators just separately filed bills to make cannabis federally legal. But leaving it up to the states to decide.

no one will vote for Hillary based on her being a woman. Call it the Obama factor. Everyone that voted for Obama only voted for him because he's black. He ended up being the worst president in history. Worst than Jimmy Carter. Hillary is known for her shady dealings so....

 

[Skylor]

cheap oil had nothing to do with Obama. That Saudi prince that just died who owns 1/5 of the world oil supply lowered the price himself. Employment is not up. They employment statistics are skewed. They only take sensus in certain areas to make them selves look good.

wow, very racist.

wow, very racist.

no realistic and factual. Ask any black person why they voted for Obama. They will all say the same thing.
