I heard some folks say Hillary wasn't pro-Pot enough. Well, say hello to AG Sessions

I have no idea why knowing the other guy will crush everything we care about isn't enough to get some folks to go out and vote or make them enthusiastic.

And yes, regardless of what any Republican nominee says during the campaign, we KNOW they will crush everything we care about.

Trump AG pick could halt legal pot industry



WASHINGTON — Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general, who has a long history of hard-line opposition to marijuana, could unravel the burgeoning recreational marijuana industry across the country, including in Massachusetts.

Senator Jeff Sessions, a former federal prosecutor and Alabama attorney general, has been taking on marijuana dealers since the 1970s.


He said earlier this year that “good people don’t smoke marijuana” and “we need grown-ups in charge in Washington to say ‘marijuana is not the kind of thing that ought to be legalized.’ ”

Because marijuana remains illegal under federal law, Sessions, if he is confirmed, could choose to order targeted prosecutions of recreational marijuana farms and shops that are operating legally under state law. Such a move could seriously threaten the retail marijuana industry, worth a billion dollars in Colorado
