MMJ: Weed Stays Winning

I’m confused. Are the feds gonna try and shut down legalization or what? - Charles Ulysses Farley

I think if U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions had his way, every pot grower, club owner, vape make, and cannabis user would be in federal prison doing serious time. Sessions hates weed. He recently sent letters to the governors of four legal cannabis states complaining about their cannabis regulatory systems. Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson released a statement in response: “I was disappointed by Attorney General Sessions’ letter, which relies on incomplete, inaccurate and out-of-date information on the status of Washington’s marijuana regulations. I’m also disappointed that he has yet to accept my repeated invitations to meet in person to discuss this critical issue face to face. If he does accept, I look forward to providing him with a more complete picture of the robust regulatory program that exists in our state.

“Any action from the Department of Justice short of allowing our well-regulated, voter-approved system to continue is unacceptable. I will continue to defend the will of Washington voters.”

The bottom line is this: Weed stays winning. Marijuana wins elections. Democracy in action. The people have spoken and it is up to the government to follow the will of the people. Duh.

It’s most likely way too late for the DOJ to do much about it anyway. Weed makes too much money for too many people. The DOJ doesn’t have the resources to go after the thousands of people involved in the legal cannabis industry. I mean, are they gonna arrest the governors of all the states where cannabis is legal?

Colorado has had legal cannabis for more than five years. There has been no increase in crime, no increase in traffic deaths, no real problems at all. Weed creates jobs, tax revenue and good times. Sessions needs to leave the cannabis industry alone and go after real criminals and threats to American society.

I heard you were just in Seattle. How’s the weed there? - Cap I. Tollhill

The weed in Washington state has gotten way better, although I feel like all the commercial weed I smoked was harvested too early and cured too fast, causing the cannabis to have pleasant but short-lived effects. Still the third best weed in the country!
