Sessions Is ‘Surprised’ At Public Backlash To His Marijuana Rhetoric

Spaventa said:

It undermines existing markets that have been cornered. Those interests enable officials who oppose legalisation.
Why would financiers who's investments represent a 90% share of a trillion dollar industries want to see that industries destroyed by a new product they DON'T have a 90% share of. They have cigarettes, cancer drugs and alcohol all to themselves but those markets would shrink or disappear with legalisation. Sure people will make money, just not them, and they know it.
They also know its a lot harder to control stoned populations

I think you are wrong on the easier to control the population. I would have agreed with you 10 years ago. If you look at the ratio of people here who blindly hate Trump, thus supporting Hillary Clinton (the most corrupt, criminal, and unqualified candidate in modern times). If they support a candidate who was hand picked, and propped up by the mainstream media. These people voted for a candidate who couldn't tell the truth to Congress or the American people, she hid her pay for play, her underhanded primary treatment of the Sanders campaign. It used to be said that potheads were conspiracy theorist, now they choose to ignore the evidence that is right in front of there face.

I also believe that Hillary Clinton has no intention of moving Cannabis forward, unless a corporation is able to donate a couple hundred million to the Clinton Foundation.

At least he,realised people don't want to keep going on the failed policy of the past. Baby steps I guess. The wheels of government turn slowly. I believe they will put on a show, but nothing will really change. It's hard for people who have prosecuted weed offenders to back off there position, without having to admit they were responsible for the lives that were destroyed. That being said, I think it could be a great move for Trump to secure the anti establishment image. The anti establishment image is without a doubt a big reason why he won. The Congress approval rating is and Will remain in the toilet. The American people (middle America not the liberal coast) are sick of the government's corruption, and ineffectiveness.

Hopefully this thread can stay on topic, and not descend into, incessant name calling, and hostility.I hate to see threads get shutdown, but they inevitably descend into political madness.

"At least he,realized people don't wanna keep going on the failed policy of the past"

Which people? Which policy from the past? Cannabis policy? Sessions realized? He was surprised, I'm not sure he realizes yet. I can quote him as saying "today it's fashionable" "but it's too important to care about fashion"

I don't know if this is accurate. Is there a recent poll you can link? Is that your opinion? I can't tell? If it is, "I believe" that using the phrases like "I believe", "I think", "it's my opinion that" might go along way to keep this thread open.

"The American People" are in middle America? What Nationality are people on the coast?

Again, is this your opinion? If not please post link. perhaps you mean before the election? I can't imagine your not aware of all that's happened since then. I hear many of his supporters are dumbfounded at his total reversal on key issues.

i personally believe that any comment about what the president is gonna do, if based on his campaign promises and after his inauguration are worthless. Even if not everybody can admit it.

This thread is about cannabis and Jeffery though. Let's keep it on track.

Yes this is my opinion, these threads are all opinion.

"The American People" are in middle America? What Nationality are people on the coast?

The people on the coast are liberal, progressive. If you haven't noticed there big ideological differences in America. We even had a socialist who probably should have been the Democrat candidate, if the party and Clinton didn't play dirty. The vast majority of middle America doesn't subscribe to the progressive agenda.

Again, is this your opinion? If not please post link. perhaps you mean before the election? I can't imagine your not aware of all that's happened since then. I hear many of his supporters are dumbfounded at his total reversal on key issues.

I would say many of Trumps supporters are sick of the constant hatred and name calling by the left and it's mainstream media, I particularly sick of the double standard, Obama did many of the same things and never heard the media say a word. Schumer, Pelosi, Hillary, Biden, And Obama have all called for a stop to illegal immigration, but it's only wrong when Trump says it.


i personally believe that any comment about what the president is gonna do, if based on his campaign promises and after his inauguration are worthless. Even if not everybody can admit it.

I normally agree with you on campaign promises. In Trumps case he has already done a lot of what he can do on his own. The executive branch Will be more efficient than it ever has, once he gets rid of the last Obama supporting staff.

I love how people spend half a page talking trash, and end it with let's keep it on track.even when I am guilty of wasting my words on a response, and doing the same thing.

I had no idea there was a lot of Hilary supporters here. Im a bit surprised but thinking about it, I guess its the millennial, progressive liberal crowd. Ill say no more as it might be construed as a hate crime and spark violent protests.

Maybe the man figured out that after one joint, a person is enlightened, empowered and a threat BUT if they legalise it so folk have plenty and they can blaze up all day, they aren't a threat to he establishment no more cos they're wrecked, couch locked and munching.

i never do get why people say the coastal elite are democrats. texas, louisana, mississippi, alabama, florida, georgia, south carolina, north carolina and most of the time virginia are all red states.

Who makes the synthetic opiods?

You are correct, the West coast and the North East Atlantic coast area is more accurate. These happen to be where there is a large population in a smaller area, that population is the vast majority leftists. I am trying to get away from the term liberal. Progressive or leftists is more accurate today.

Hahahah....Passive aggressive little bitches who think they are smart but just don't have any guts. Keep waving your flag while your ship keeps sinking. Can't wait to see what you morons have to say in a month or a year.
I would say 3 years but I don't believe your **** candidate is going to last. That's right. He's going to find a way to quit before his term is up. What will you say when he becomes the first person to QUIT the job?
Wake up jerkoffs
I'm tired of trying to meet in the middle and find silver linings and be polite to you fuckers
Your stupid for believing. I know I'm not supposed to say that. But you will realize it before it is over
I wonder what you will say then?

the south/southern coast is a gigantic swamp(i grew up in the deep south). so does that make them the swamp coast or the bottom dwellers?

I'm surprised no-ones said it was a 17D chess move by Trump appointing sessions in today's sjw political climate knowing his stances towards cannabis, the kkk, etc. because if you think about it he'd have to know an old white man that supports the kkk while going after now legal weed is going to cause the general to say wtf while the sjw types will need to construct fallout shelters after having nuclear meltdowns. He knows people are going to oppose him every step of the way so if he said he wanted to end the drug war it wouldn't work but this way he's got the public sooking over their now legal weed being taken away by the evil old white male and his cronies that belong in the past.

I knew we would be where we are now with N korea/ syria/russia during the campaigns when trump said all that 1000% shit about Israel. He was just the Trojan horse for Jared and the Zionists. I wouldn't have voted, just got the fuck out of Dodge. Hilary wanted the gig but trumps bid was accepted because his son in laws but she would have started the same shit anyway. different false flags and fake news but the objective for UK and US will always be the furthering of Israel and their domination of the middle east. They want that pipe line from Turkey and only Assads Syria blocks its path. THATS why they want him gone. If anyone believes the ludicrous chemical weapons attack was Assad and not a false flag, ask yourself what possible motive could he have had to do something that would only bring heat on himself. He knows US drone and satellite every inch and it would be front page so its just not credible he would have done it even if he had a motive. but theres no possible motive to kill kids and women so its a very poorly conceived and obvious emotion targeting false flag to justify taking down another of Israel's enemies. Trump is 1000% into that.

Wtf was this suppose to accomplish? Make us feel sorry for them? It can be hard? How would you know how they feel? Have you prosecuted and destroyed lives?

Ohhhh....

Is this what you meant?
It's hard for people who voted for Trump to back off there position, without having to admit they were responsible for the lives that they destroyed.

^^^^ this is the truth and explains every post he's made about Ronald!

But I don't blame you for being sick of it. You think they like watching the history channel in Germany?

You guys have had enough!! It's been going for years before he even ran. Who can forget the WH corespondents dinner! OMG!!! Need a link? Haha

Because it's not true. FoxNews would still be running em. They're just as desperate as you are.
List em if it is.
I'll list Donald's.
We'll see how close your "many" really comes to the mountain I got on trump.
I'll even add links for most so you can watch em! He was nice enough to fuck up on camera!

It doesn't fkn matter! Your not 6yrs old! Are you? How old are you?

If Schumer, Pelosi, Hillary, Biden, And Obama jump off a bridge will you promiseto jump off too?

You won't have to deal with all the jokes anymore if you do?

Sessions isn't surprised at all. He's just establishing his moralistic bona fides to the good old guys & gals in Jesus land & to all the drug warriors in every cop shop in America. Marijuana is half the war on drugs & there's a lot of job security at stake for them.

I think he already knows it's too late to turn aside legalization but if things go to Hell he can blame it on the moral laxity of reefer madness. It's also important to understand that Trump & Co are masters of distraction. The real story is in what they won't be doing to protect people's rights while turning a blind eye to some really abusive practices by politicians & cop shops alike.

I am not going to discuss shit with people who's only argument is to continuously hurl ridiculous insults grow up and out of your little bubble, not everyone is mindless drone for CNN and msnbc.

Trump is the guy. Trump is one who will decide the direction. It's not Sessions...Sessions is not the one who decides the fate of Mary Jane"s plight to freedom. However, Sessions is a man of the law...and he will use that law not only to the degrees to which he can extend enforcement but also to the moral level of that which he aligns with. But like I said...Trump will set the directive, so we wait.

Other than pot...Sessions is a Rock Star !!!!!!!!

Sessions was at his apex when Fred Flintstone was on prime time. Gone are days of greatness.

Yeh, he thinks it's not his job to ride herd on systemic abuses by rogue cop shops cuz consent decrees are bad for morale. Probably cheers Jim Crow's comeback tour, too, along with privatized prisons & stiff dick mandatory minimums. Don't look for him to stand up for LGBTQ or Women's rights, either. He's a real peach when it comes to southern tradition & all that it means, I'm sure.

Trump voters look for him to stand up for AMERICANS rights I think. The group you mention are a small minority that a large part of the other 96% of the population view as dysfunctional so I doubt theres widespread alarm caused by doubts you raise.
Either way, he's full of it. He stands up for Israel and what Israel wants and everyone else pays for it, in land, foreign aid, military support and blood.
