Look, I know that the question on everyone's mind for these past few months has been, "When, when oh Lord, when will we finally stave off and reverse the Scourge of Legalized Marijuana in the several states?
Well, wonder no more, live in fear of legal marijuana no more because...
Last night, it didn't look so good. When talking about the president rescinding the rights and protections of transgender kids at the federal level, Press Sec Spicer said, “The president’s made it clear throughout the campaign that he’s a firm believer in states’ rights.”
So yeah, states rights, that didn't look so good for throwing Colorado and Oregon pot smokers in jail with rapists and murderers. But wait!
Just today, Sec Spicer said that the Department of Justice will be "taking action" against the states that have voted to legalize marijuana for recreational use. Hooray! States rights be damned! Let the dealers hit the streets! Let the prisons fill and fill!
And don't think they don't have a plan for
that, oh no. Because also today, by sheer coincidence, Jeff Sessions, head of the DOJ, rescinded the Obama era guidance directing the DOJ to reduce its use of private prisons. For-profit prisons to the rescue!
According to Sessions, reducing private prisons "impaired the Bureau's ability to meet the future needs of the federal correctional system." The future needs!
So yes, I know, everyone wants to see marijuana illegal again in all 50 states. And it's finally happening, thanks to you.
