    Default Sessions Says Obama Marijuana Memo Is 'Valid'

    https://massroots.com/blog/sessions-...-memo-is-valid

    U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is indicating that he might keep Obama-era marijuana enforcement guidelines in place, perhaps with some modifications.


    "The Cole Memorandum set up some policies under President Obama's Department of Justice about how cases should be selected in those states and what would be appropriate for federal prosecution, much of which I think is valid," he said in a question-and-answer session with reporters on Wednesday following a speech in Richmond, Virginia.


    That memo, adopted in 2013, lays out guidelines for how states can avoid federal interference with their marijuana laws.


    Sessions added that he "may have some different ideas myself in addition to that" but indicated that the federal government would not be able to enforce its remaining marijuana prohibition laws across the board in states with legalization.


    "Essentially we’re not able to go into a state and pick up the work that the police and sheriffs have been doing for decades," he said.
    Leviticus 19:33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong. 34 The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the homeborn among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

    that should make you happy, Dick.

    Sessions added that he "may have some different ideas myself in addition to that" but indicated that the federal government would not be able to enforce its remaining marijuana prohibition laws across the board in states with legalization.
    wasn't that your big concern?

    No, my biggest problem with you nationalists is on free trade/free markets.

    But I was skeptical of what Spicer had said andI have been saying for some time that the feds were going to be hard pressed to enforce the laws without the local boys. They don't have the resources.

    Seems like meekness.
