I was so terrified of Sessions' BS ending the legal pot market last year that I sold shares and sat on cash and a couple short months later the stock prices shot up. I bought back in, prices spiked up, then dropped :/ they're currently way up overall, even on recent bad news, but I only own 1/3 as many shares as I once had. I was quite ASD last Winter and so my fears were extremely amplified. s**t happens, I'm still in the black big time overall so whatever - it'll just take me longer to build up financial wealth. Oh well, I have time. :)

Anyways, on to my actual present point:

Even thought Sessions is pulling his bs, I have very little fear about it right now because it's causing so much backlash around the USA from both political parties. Politicians on both sides are speaking up and saying "Uh, pot should be legal. We think so, the American people think so, lay off the pot prohibition crap." And I believe the REASON that politicians are speaking their minds about it, and will vote to legalize, is because the wealthy donors that own them and their campaigns and re-election possibilities are the very same wealthy people making HUGE $ on marijuana businesses investments. There is no way they're not going to tell their representatives to keep the legalization machine steamrolling full speed ahead. There's far too much money invested already & in future potential profits at stake. Rich people won't allow this gravy train to be taken away from them, so they'll put the screws to their bought and paid for representatives who will keep it all moving towards legalization/off schedule 1 AND those politicians can and will spin it that they did it for the good of the American people and what they wanted and to be nice to minorities etc etc but really, who are any of us kidding, it's all about greed and making money. Thank God there is so much money to be made in legalization.
