Then just make it legal with no regulation.
There are very, very few things that are legal that are not regulated.

Are you implying that making pot legal would lower the price to the level of not being profitable? How much does an oz of pot cost in a legal pot pharmacy?

“Finally, and perhaps most importantly: I have directed that all 94 U.S. Attorneys Offices make the prosecution of assault on a federal law enforcement officer — that’s all of you — a top priority. If someone dares to assault one of our folks in the line of duty, they will do federal time for it,” Sessions added in his prepared remarks.
I love this guy. Like serious man crush going on here.

Exactly. I know you are trying to make another point, but you didn't.
When gov regulations get involved on hard drugs like cocaine, heroin the prices are going to go up. Then Cartels will be cheaper.
If the Gov does manage to get the cost down to compete with the cartels, they will create new drugs that are more harmful, but cheaper.... and all the gov addicts who can not afford the gov regulate drugs will need a fix from somewhere.
1- You will not stop the black market and the need for cheaper drugs due to people becoming addicts and running out of money.
2- You will create a LARGE welfare program to treat these addicts!

roughly 300 per oz in legal stores though it varies. Street price is roughly $125.

No way. As usual, they only attack the symptoms and never enact real change.

Add his support for prison privatization, and more concerningly, his support for Civil Asset Forfeiture, and it's even clearer that his disregard for facts is driven by his big government loving views.
He's like a South Park caricature.

The cause are the drug pushers.

The issue here is what for you?

In certain circumstances, I have zero issue with it. If you are a drug dealer... I have no problems with taking you blood money.

You have no idea what you're talking about
125 for an entire ounce??? That's the shittiest weed known to man.
A half ounce of good shite goes for around 170 depending on where you live. On the street.

Wow. Contrast this comment with the pathetic optic of Obama standing meekly behind the President of Mexico in Arizona several years ago, nodding approvingly while that Mexican POS lectured Americans on immigration.
Elections have consequences? You're damn right they do!

Jeff Sessions is terrible for supporting such things.

He's not entitled to his own facts. And as AG, he should educate himself bc his opinion has consequences. a goddamn 8th grader knows marijuana isn't remotely as dangerous as alcohol, let alone heroin.

I've never understood, besides vulnerable populations--why a crime is treated any different for a certain class of victims. Assault of a non-LEO should be treated the same as assault of an LEO.
I agree with you, but only when the LEO is off duty and/or portraying himself as a civilian.
Posted on 4/11/17 at 9:37 pm to jacquespene8
Just another layer of protection for LEO, I guess.

They have in the past. Why do you think that would change??

I'm no boot-licker but there's a clear law and order case to be made for treating direct assaults on police differently.
