Seems pretty harsh...wth are you smokin'?

I think he is just out of touch.....I think he is getting a lot of push-back from republicans. I am just surprised it took him this long. I thought he'd do it when he first took over the DOJ.

You know, regardless of one's opinion about pot, I would think most republican would say this is a state issue not a federal one. Trumps talked a lot about giving power back to the states and states' rights. I'm surprised Trump has not called up JS and jerked a knot in his asz.

When you read the actual memo, it doesn't really change anything.

His job is to enforce the laws and the laws are that it's illegal to make or possess marijuana.  We can all probably agree that these laws should be changed, but that's the way it needs to be dealt with, not by the DOJ selectively enforcing laws based on political beliefs.

LB, you don't get to choose what laws you enforce and don't enforce.  You uphold the law that is on the books.

Good point. Someone in Congress ought to take this up and get the law changed. There would be bi-partisan support for sure....the left can argue the harmlessness of pot and the right can claim states' rights to appease their base.

That ain't gonna happen this year. Alternatively, Jeff Sessions could just shut his yap and let things go on as they have been. Can you imagine the pile of bricks that would come down if a fed attorney decided to enforce fed laws within Colorado, California or Washington? There would be h3ll to pay on both sides of the isle. This is evolving as a states rights issue and other than a fed law backing out of the issue completely, the Fed should have a lighter than air touch on this one. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em.

Not exactly, Tony......I can choose quite a bit, and you should be happy I/we can.....or a whole bunch more people would be arrested.

The AG has that EXACT SAME power of discretion. 

Oysterboy got it right......he could have left it alone.  This is ridiculously stupid.
