finn is right, this has nothing to do with christianity, nor any form of sharia law. this isnt even about trump wanting to be an authoritarian, but rather sessions wanting to uphold federal law, like he should as attorney general.
congress put MJ on the schedule one list of drugs, and it ill take an act of congress to remove it from the list as well.
obama did a lot of things that were unconstitutional with his use of executive orders, and trump reversed a lot of what obama did. so far as i can tell trump has not done anything illegal or unconstitutional with his use of executive orders, and has basically put the ball back into congress's court. its time congress starting doing the things congress is supposed to do, and top the childish games of obstruction based solely on party politics.
Obama wasn't a good president because he didn't remove it from the schedule one list of drugs. Why these democrat politicians are so afraid to touch this one is beyond me. A band aid is not the same thing as getting something productive done, which he didn't.
Had Hillary said she would have legalized it her first 100 days she'd be president right now. Instead she campaigned more like a republican on that particular issue. Her loss.

Why is the answer to your question beyond you? I have spouted it many times, and will continue to do so: Money. Corrupt Money. Always Follow The Money.
That is why the democrats won't touch it regardless of what their constituents want.
That is why the DEA won't reschedule it.
That is why your calls, letters, and emails won't help.
That is why this battle has been fought for decades with little progress until social media came along.
That is why there is no way Hillary would have been able to legalize it in her first 100 days, even if she had promised it (which she would never have anyway).
That is why a plant that could never cause all the damage the war against it is causing has been so demonized for 80 years.
Actually a crack-down may just be the way MJ finally gets dealt with. Maybe a few raids that will obviously be high profile might just be the thing that gets congress's attention IF enough of the population protest and put pressure on them to do something.
It has to be a large cross section of society, not just the potheads and the usual pro-pot crowd, no, it must include run of the mill people who aren't in the business or users themselves.

So, in other words, let's keep throwing people under the bus for as long as it takes to get the law changed.
What is wrong with this picture?
Those hapless folks will get slapped with maximum federal sentences, and the feds don't do paroles.
There must be a better way.
The "hands off" approach the Cole memos created was working well. It allowed the legal states to demonstrate to the world that legalization doesn't mean social or financial ruin in those states. It helped minimize the harm prohibition is causing while allowing a fledgling industry to get its feet underneath it. It allowed the lawmakers the continued harvesting of their booty from the lobbyists.
Even though I am a conservative, that doesn't prevent me from recognizing an Obama-era compromise that was working.
CO Senator Cory Gardiner has placed holds on DOJ nominees in response to Sessions' announcement.
I have to admit that I am very pleasantly surprised since Gardner has been little more than a cypher since he was elected and that bipartisanship is still possible.
"Colorado’s congressional delegation is pushing back against the decision from U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions last week that dismantled the framework used by states to move forward with sales of state-legalized marijuana.
Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colorado) now has a hold in place on all nominees for positions in Sessions’ Justice Department and plans to meet with the AG at the Justice Department on Wednesday morning."
Further (from the link), "Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colorado) is seeking to defund any federal law enforcement action against state-regulated recreational marijuana as part of the funding bill pending in Congress."
It does not seem to have anything to do with Christianity. Churches are not asking for this, and Trump does not even claim to be a Christian. This is simply him being an authoritarian.

But Trump is so much of an "authoritarian" that he feels compelled to obey every law.
WTH is WRONG with you people?

Well, I don’t dope up my brain FYI.
Maybe they'll put the pot-shops out of business, then legalize it and hand it over to big-tobacco. If GOP was ever to legalize it, that would be the way they'd handle it.
However, everything indicates the opposite is going to happen, and we are going back to full ban.

LOL!
Hardly. That is just wishful thinking on your part.
