    While MA is dragging its ass on getting dispensaries up & running, recreational is at least legal here in the Commonwealth since November. Like Washington, I think MA will continue to be one of the states at odds w/ this administration, so I hope the local laws hold.

    I wouldn’t think this admin would go after something so innocuous as legalized weed; but at the same time, I agree w/ Tiki, I don’t trust this f’er, not for one second.
    I don't trust him either. And just as I was tooting my governor's horn, Jay Inslee just issued an executive order of his own "that expressly prohibits state agencies from inquiring about a person's immigration status, participating in federal immigration raids, or aiding in the creation of a religious registry." He said: state agencies would not participate in federal civil immigration raids that President Trump has now characterized as a "military operation."

    I'm not sure it's so innocuous when there's an imbalance in the number of white arrests versus black arrests, and effectively parity in black versus white use of marijuana (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2013/06/04/the-blackwhite-marijuana-arrest-gap-in-nine-charts/?utm_term=.dd73626b963b). Having recently watched Ava DuVernay's documentary, 13th, which ties together the War on Drugs, racism, and mass incarceration for free or cheap labour, I can't help but think that even the criminalization of marijuana can be quite nefarious and impactful.

    I meant the 'drug' itself is innocuous (as compared to alcohol, or other forms of medication, self or otherwise) and shouldn't be illegal. The war on drugs as a whole has been a disaster on many levels (your points very much included), I think you & I are very much on the same page there.

    I'll be doing the same later !

    Steve Bannon Says Feud With ‘Corporatist, Globalist’ Media Will Only Get Worse
    “Every day there is going to be a fight.”

    NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. ― A few days after President Donald Trump drew rebukes for calling the media the “enemy of the American people,” his top strategist Steve Bannon showed no sign that the White House was willing to reconsider its feud with the press.

    Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference alongside White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus on Thursday, Bannon warned the situation between the administration and the fourth estate will only get worse.

    Jesus Christ. What do they think they're going to do about it? Bring in federal LEOs to raid every legal retail weed store in each state? Withhold federal funds? Roll tanks into state capitols? "Taking action" my ass. Spicer should take action and kick his boss in the nuts for trotting him out there like a performing monkey day after day.

    W/ the exception of AK, I think every state where it's legal also voted against Herr Trump & President Bannon.

    While some conservatives on here will try to chalk that up to a coincidence, don't kid yourself. This orange prick is as vindictive as they come.
  • I hate these uptight right wing nuts. The only politicians that still think weed should be on the schedule 1 list are being paid off by big pharma. The evidence is crystal clear now. It has medicinal value. That alone should be enough to allow it to be used for recreational use. I also can't believe people still use the term gateway drug. How stupid do you have to be to believe that?

    As for Sean Spicer, i see this guy lasting another 6 months tops.

    Conservative logic:
    Discrimination against the trans-gendered is a state's rights issue
    States with constitutional amendments allowing recreational marijuana is an Federal issue

    It makes no sense and I don't even think the conservative base wants a crackdown on legalized marijuana.
