I have NO idea what the heck this guy is talking about. I am a very good person! Maybe this man needs to look in the mirror, figure out what "good people" means. Yes, Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, a very SCARY, SCARY man indeed!
Now here's a real piece of work. I know we were all freaked out when Christie and Guiliani were beng considered then this guy was announced as Trump's nominee for Attorney General, right out of the blue. He's the man who will truly come down hard on illegal immigrants, who will make sure that laws supporting women's rights disappear. But it's his years of solid support behind cannabis prohibition that should make anyone in the marijuana industry very, very afraid right now. I was already very leery about moving forward and jumping into the world of cannabis when the results rolled in on election day, but once I read about this man being considered for AG I have put my dreams and desires of being part of the great experiment on hold.
There are still many hurdles in place before this waking nightmare becomes a living, breathing setback to years of state's rights and cannabis legislation. With the scratch of his pen everything that has been building up as positive and meaningful for the cannabis industry could disappear overnight. I have to wonder, when I think of the billions of dollars that are moving around legitimately in this industry, if businessman like Trump could really want to support this kind of crack pot mentality? Putting Sessions in charge of cannabis laws would be a major setback to an industry that is bringing in really big tax dollars, supporting thousands of jobs, bringing real health relief to millions and bringing closure to years of racial profiling, Read the posts below and do a bit more research if need be but more than anything write your legislators today, make sure that they feel the heat, make sure that they know that their seats in Congress are on the line if this nomination goes through.
No appointment for Jeff Sessions, With a Trump presidency our democracy is already hanging in the balance. Our freedoms, our liberty, as they apply to all things cannabis, should not as well.
Salud!
