That's the Rohrabacher–Farr amendment, and it only applies to medical cannabis. It didn't protect rec.

But it is all but dead in the new budget bill. There is no support for it in the gop. If the budget bill goes through like the tax scam bill, it will never even come up for a vote.

That’s not true. Many GOP Congressmen support it, and over 60% of Republican voters support it. Trust me, this isn’t going to change anything. It’s going to kickstart the legalization process (finally.)

Many is not the leadership. The leadership will write the bill and dump it on the congress at the 11th hour. The individual members get an up or down vote. This issue will not change a single gop vote in the end. No gop critter is going to make including this an absolute must have.

The only way it stands a chance is if the leadership needs dem votes to get to a simple majority in each house; but the dems have a long list of must haves. This issue is too small to die over.

Could it be tossed in to sweeten the bill? Sure. It can. But it could just easily be tossed out for the same reason; there are a lot of anti-cannabis republicans.

Just look at how the tax scam was passed. Murkowski, collins, and whats his name were all bribed over the finish line and none really got what they wanted publically. Privately, they are getting very rich.

I think you’re just being cynical. Things have changed.

The states can clearly argue a violation of the 10th Amendment.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The Feds will come back with Interstate Commerce BS argument. Why is Sessions not going after the Sackler family worth $14 billion who own the rights and make OxyContin and other opiods. MMJ is a far safer pain reliever.

Also F Jerry Brown. Someone on another forum said Session is doing this as a quid pro quo against this sanctuary state and city bullshit. This may actually be true. This sanctuary crap forces American taxpayers to pay more for all this crap while elites rake in more money from open borders on cheap labor, more building with endless sprawl and other factors. The old Sierra Club was very much against open borders because it creates sprawl. More and more people for fewer resources.

The other thing with MMJ is the scum of both parties hate to see the little American guy or gal make a few bucks off MMJ.

All politicians suck in this same uniparty.

Your post is an example of how delusional Trump's supporters are.

Wrong, completely wrong about your "states rats" argument.

Jerry Brown is going to put up a legal fight that he can't win but might, stress might delay Sessions' bulldogs until Republiicans can be removed in the 2018 elections. California voters supported legalized MJ and they overwhelmingly voted against Trump. Those two facts alone explain why Trump might target CA first.

So, yeah, California is opposing Trump on other issues too. Are you actually saying California should bow down to Trump to save the state from his bulldogs? Coward. Cringing, crawling fearful coward.

If I read the tea leaves right, Trump is going down early in the new year, the Muller investigation should be ready for that phase. I don't think president Pence will want to keep Sessions on as attorney general since he's tainted with Russia and so is Pence. The 2018 midterms will be a massacre for the Republicans, the writing is on the wall and writ large. President Pence will be fighting impeachment himself in 2018 cause he's into this shit up to his neck.

With a new administration will come a new AG and this pot thing will fade away until after the midterm election, besides there's no money for enforcement and there's a opioid/fentanyl crisis that's killing thousands. I don't think this news will change much right away, but it might trigger legalisation later after the midterm. One way or another the Republicans will have to deal with Trump, they can't have him as president going into the midterms and they can't have him running around loose either! The republicans are having their nuts squeezed in a vice and the longer the Donald is there the tighter the screw turns. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch and they only have themselves to blame.

I figure folks down in the states will be ok, this bunch is pretty incompetent and there is no driving force behind prohibition 2.0 except Jeff Sessions and his days as AG and possibly a free man are numbered, perjury is a mandatory jail time crime.

We've been watching the doings of the Donald for awhile, but soon we'll be watching the doing of the Donald. Muller is gonna flush that piece of shit down life's toilet, he's already pushing on the handle. Over 70 people went to jail over Watergate in the 70's, by that standard, how many are gonna end up in jail over this fiasco when it's all said and done ?

I was thinking that the reason Nixon started this shit about pot was to get at his perceived political enemies (lot's of evidence to back this up). What if Sessions/Trump want to go after say, BIll Maher or other political enemies who smoke pot (or maybe not), say swoop into legal states and target their political enemies. That was the original purpose of the law after all and why it was created.

The times have changed, the blow back and slap down from this might surprise a few elephants and dinosaurs. Lots of folks in the old confederacy like to smoke dope too and more than one good old boy has a grow. Many in the Republican base are indeed base, but they are also stoned as well as stunned...
