Maybe the prison industry lobbyists gave Trump a call. It looks like we're going back to harsh sentencing for minor drug offences and escalate the use of mandatory minimum sentencing.
President Obama is on pace to be the first president in a half-century to leave office with a federal prison population that is smaller than when he was sworn in, a reflection of eight years of liberal criminal justice policies, historically low crime rates and an aggressive use of presidential commutations.
President-elect Donald J. Trump’s nominee for attorney general, Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, strongly opposed Mr. Obama’s liberal approach to criminal justice. Mr. Sessions favors vigorous enforcement of drug laws and the use of mandatory minimum sentences.
They're going to regret it if they try to regress us 40 years, wasting time and money for Sessions' ego gratification.
Especially as states have started legalizing marijuana. There will be major push back.
Besides, Trump said he was for states' rights. Is he a liar?

Clearly he does not respect States rights on every issue, like immigration, where is it trying to bully / threaten States to carry his water. Whether or not he will drop the Federal hammer on legal pot remains to be seen, but if I was a proponent, I'd be worried.
I voted for Trump but its not the hill to die on attacking Marijuana. This will fall to the full enforcement of the federal gov. Wasted money. Put it toward things like Cocaine and Heroin. Hard drugs. The only idiots left who don't like pot are the old farts who will sit and sip their 7n7 getting a buzz while thumping their chest and say pot needs to be banned.
I don't remember defending such thing. Do you have a quote?
Your first post that started this thread. You call out one person but not the other. If you had not even mentioned Obama, it might just slide, but since you did delve into his politics but fail to hold him to the same standard it clearly demonstrates your hypocrisy.

Nice deflection Pedro. Get personal to hide a weak argument. Works every time
Lol, you will always cheer and make excuses for your team.
"Republicans are war hawks, but Obama's bombs create convenient garden patches for flowers and vegetables."
"Republicans are in bed with Wall Street. This was confirmed by Hillary when she was giving a $200,000 speech to Goldman Sachs."
Can you show where I said those things?
Of course you can't.
My 'team' was Gary Johnson, and Ron Paul before that.
If you can't discuss the topic, and insist on trying to make it about me, you should just take a hike.
