I guess we can write off Texas legalizing it.

it just keeps getting worse and worse. 2018 is gonna suck so much that nobody will remember 2017. AG Keebler Elf has got a big fight on his hands.

AG Keebler Elf said "good people don't smoke pot." but he sees nothing wrong with alky and tobacco. what a phuqing hypocrite. he wouldn't know "good people" if one bit him in his Keebler elf @$$.

It's Simple. Jeff Sessions can't stand to see black and brown people not in jail.

i'm hoping somebody will find some sticky dirt on attorney general jeff "Keebler elf" sessions. we need another Jack Anderson for these corrupt times!

2 days ago my stock account increased by a record amount overnight when the main pot stock I'm in shot up. Yesterday it continued up, but then closed down 21% from the day before after the Sessions news. Grr, if I had a crystal ball.. lol if I did I'd be buying at the low & selling at the high of every change.. I'd also still own 3x as many shares like I used to.

Annnnyways, every pot company stock took a dive on Jeff Sessions' headline news. However, they're all still carrying on business as usual. California recently legalized & this company fulfilled their first order to them - that's what sent the price up. I'm sure there'll be a second, even bigger, order soon enough. They'll continue to sign new retailers, produce, pack, and ship. Hell, Vermont just voted to legalize yesterday - that makes 8 States now, I think. Even if there are some bumps in the road, I really don't think they US federal government is going to be able to stop the legalized weed juggernaut. It's already in motion & is gaining momentum nationwide.

Same s**t; different decade.

"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

Yes it's the old right wing trick...divert attention away from the main quest - pilfering money from the poor folks. Get them conservatives to rally behind a leader who will fight the "bad people" while that leader takes away their hard earned money and gives it to the rich.

In fuedal times it was something like a protection racket. The Lord in his castle took all the farmer's money and food and in return offered an army to protect them from other Lords in their castles...

On a related note - white nationalists, such as the Daily Stormer internet rag, who had supported Trump, have condemned the legalized pot business as Jew controlled. Coincidence that Sessions is trying to reverse weed legalization?

Don't give up hope yet. Governor Inslee, here in Washington, has sworn to fight Sessions to keep pot legalization.
States rights! States rights!

Looks like Hempfest will be in full swing this year.

Well people aren't going to stop smoking/consuming cannabis.....seems like Sessions is fighting a lost cause.

These right wing christian types need to take the proverbial log out of their eye before trying to removes specks from other people's eyes...

those right wingnuts are all in favor of "states' rights" except when they're not. hypocrites.

He's a creepy little old arthritic possum.
A varmit,that's what he is.

he's DANGEROUS because he has the heavy hand of the law on his side. he is like somebody reincarnated from the Salem witch hunts.
