And we're in agreement

I'm an adult who wouldn't be smoking weed if it was totally legal (for job reasons if nothing else). With that said it is important because it is a bellweather issue to determine whether someone is for or against small government.
Drug criminalization and the WOD are issues that every small government conservative should be against. These are programs that the government could implement relatively easily, thereby reducing spending and increasing personal liberty.
While it ultimately doesn't have a big impact on me, I want politicians that support small government. If you are against this quintessential small government decision then you are unlikely to support other small government policies.

Adults are supposed to be able to possess reasonable thinking. Thinking that the drug war is okay as it stands is not a rational thought.

Giving Sessions his pick of positions based on his early support of Trump is the exact opposite of the "drain the swamp" motto. Trump ran on a platform that he would find the best people for the job, not the people who he owes a political favor.
And since the ardent supporters justified every hypocrisy throughout the election, and the left what into a full on meltdown, which he wanted, there seems to be very few reasonable people left to hold him accountable--yet support him when he does right.
The campaign felt like Hope and Change Part 2, and this only reinforces thst.

Inb4 "cuck" or "melt" response.

We have had an AG and Justice Department that not only ignored violations of the law but likely helped cover up said violations that involve national security and this is what you are concerned about?

exactly. Its like hiring a burglar to install your alarm system. Getting their opinion on it is a must, but they shouldn't be responsible for designing it.

If so, how could an adult support ignore more government overreach, especially given its ineffectiveness and negative impact, regardless of one's indivdual preferences for the things they are reaching for?

So because Obama had a shitty AG, Trump gets to have one too?

that's my point
it's not that THIS specific policy matters as much as the general philosophy of Trump who could somehow live with Sessions as his AG
and the reason this particular policy is kind of a good barometer is that it's very, very irrational to be anti-pot (esp in its current schedule) these days. it's a completely emotional, irrational, and wasteful mindset. now we get to see how Trump and his admin handle it

What is Jeff Sessions stance on marijuana?
Literally one of the furthest things from my mind when I think of qualifications for attorney general.

This melt is almost on par with election night When we said law and order, we meant for the brown people - not us. Law and order snowflakes. I can't wait to buy a cheap fishing boat at auction.

So because you disagree with a policy by an appointed official that makes them a shitty choice. In-depth analysis there.
