This is your periodic reminder that Jeff Sessions is the Attorney General of the United States.

while i don't agree with this, he does still hold the ultimate trump card (no pun intended)

do we have a federal law that outlaws possessing and distributing these substances? yes

then why would our federal police/prosecution avenues NOT follow the law?

if people want state-legal weed, then either (1) the federal laws need to be changed, not ignored and/or (2) we have to amend the constitution to re-work federalism entirely (which the DEMs would flip out over)

Because as a whole the government is broke. And many Americans that don’t see marijuana as dangerous don’t want to see scarce federal dollars go to something as trivial as waging a war on a substance that will undoubtedly be legal across the country in the next 10-20 years.
