White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Thursday that he expects states to see “greater enforcement” of the federal law against marijuana use, a move that would be at odds with a growing number of states’ decisions to legalize it. Spicer, taking questions from reporters at the daily briefing, differentiated between the administration’s positions on medical marijuana and recreational marijuana…. Spicer suggested that the administration is opposed to encouraging recreational marijuana use and connected it with the crisis with opioid addiction in some areas.
Instead of going after the pharmaceutical companies that are driving and profiting from the opioid epidemic—and buying members of congress with the profits—the White House and Justice Department are going to dust off the “gateway drug” argument and go after legal recreational marijuana. Legal pot has been linked to fewer opioid prescriptions and didn’t cause the heroin epidemic and may help end it, German Lopez writes at Vox.
But the same assholes who insist that millions of illegal immigrants voted for Hillary and that Trump’s inauguration day crowds were bigger than Obama’s and that Melania doesn’t despise Donald going to let reality stop them.
this is where we need to stand up for state’s rights. state’snrights led to the gay marriage decision in the supreme court. our only hope for change lies in state’ rights. this is a contentious issue and once led to a civil war. the federal government needs to be curbed. regardless of the issues that were at hand, it is undeniable that The Civil War, The New Deal, and the massive expansion of the federal govrnment that occured under Obama(nsa and co.) all dealt serious blows to state’s rights. the federal government is the problem. progressives are very big on their support for the federal government. apparently, so are many republicans when it comes to certain issues. so what do we do?? i’m not sure, but trump isnt the problem, he is just a symptom of it.
