This is where Trump loses his base, but the Republican party keeps Big Pharma happy.
And of course, the actual experience and study of the link between legal marijuana and opiate abuse is exactly COUNTER of what Spicer asserts.
Wonder how Colorado is going to absorb the hit to tax revenue if the Feds attempt to go after the recreational marijuana industry.
The seven states which allow recreational cannabis (including Colorado) are states Trump did not win in 2016. Therefore, he does not care at all about pissing those voters off.
This is about continuing the war on drugs to put more bodies into those lucrative private prisons.
Yep…They just announced that President Obamas' order to decrease our use of private prisons has just been rescinded by SCROTUS.
They gotta have illegal pot to help them find and bust the evil ones….and to make sure cell block 2-A is full and operating at maximum profit.
Geebuz. Really, Spicey? Anyone spouting Reefer Madness BS in 2017 is either comatose or a tool for BigPharma.
It's hard to imagine why anyone would want marijuana to produced and sold by the cartels (bad hombres) rather than regulated, tax-paying Americans.
Anywho…the Justice Department is currently prohibited from using funds to interfere in state medical marijuana and industrial hemp laws per the last budget bill.
We've spent something near $200mm 'eradicating hemp' since 1984 (thanks to Tricky Dick, hemp resides on Schedule 1 with marijuana). They just as well be pulling dandelions from the ditch. Serial madness. By any measure our trillion-dollar-War on
DrugsPeople has been an utter disaster. It is, though, great for Trump's bffs in the private prison industry.To Duke's comment, this is probably to keep BigPharma happy. For all of Drumpf's bluster about taking on the Pharma crowd, that flower wilted.
That giant sucking sound? That ain't Bubba inhaling. It's jobs going to Mexico.
Unsurprisingly, this comes after Trump's meeting with prohibitionist blowhard — and New Jersey pharma fat boy — Chris Christie.
The PharmaTool™ vetoed industrial hemp legislation the first time around. By Round 2 the NJ House and Senate had a veto-proof, bi-partisan coalition.
A caller on Ken Buck's tele-town hall asked where Buck stood on protecting Colorado's cannabis industry from Federal interference.
Q At 7:54, Mark from Longmont asked:
I know you're a proponent of state;s rights. Colorado allows recreational marijuana, but we're getting feedback that Trump's administration may seek to interfere. What is your position?
A I was opposed to Amendment 64. But voters voted for it, put it in our Colorado Constitution. I hope Feds respect what's in our constitution. If marijuana is grown, used, processed, sold in CO, Feds should stay away. The Federal government does have an interest in banning imports . We don't want to empower drug cartels and crime associated with that.
Mamajama55 —
thanks for the coverage of Ken Buck's stance. A few more sensible and consistent comments from him and he might be the poster boy for what I consider sane Republicans. Nice that a Representative is willing to represent people and the state they have created.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king . . .
. . . and here in the land and time of willfully-ignorant lunatics, Buckles the Clown now becomes a poster boy of sanity??? . . .
Oh, my aching head . . .
