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

  1. #31
    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.

    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    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.

    I think that it is extremely important to let states have a right to legalize marijuana, after reading https://cannasos.com/news/politics/a...alize-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.”

    The GOP needs to get out in front of this. Why in God's name they're letting the Democrats take credit for this is beyond reason.

    Not in God's name, it's the lobbyist preventing the GOP from any legalization. Prescription drug makers, alcohol industry, private prison. and police unions are throwing enough money at lawmakers, that it won't even be rescheduled lower than a class 1 drug, let alone legalized.

    Cuz politics.

    I told y'all months ago exactly how it was going to happen. It's another symptom of Uncle Sugar's money printer slowly drying up.

    Once you accept that the global dollar standard is almost over, you have to accept that the money printer slows down. That means that the states will have to have new avenues for revenue and job creation. Practically everything coming out of DC right now is related to this, even if some other cover story is given.

    Lobbyist don't care about party. The Democrats and Republican line up at the same trough. Republicans are first in line because they have a majority. If the majority shifts so will the money flow.
