This is just being mean..there is no reason for it. I don't smoke weed but really this administration just can't keep their slimy fingers out of anything
And Melissa McCarthy...I mean Sean Spicer claims they are doing this to fight opioid addiction
Quote:
"I think that when you see something like the opioid addiction crisis blossoming in so many states around this country," Spicer said, "the last thing that we should be doing is encouraging people."
Marijuana addiction is an actual problem I think. I know people in their late 20s and 30s who get stoned on a daily basis. That is a problem at that age. But it's a problem the way alcoholism is a problem. This is not something the government should be getting involved in, except for educating people and encouraging chronic abusers to go to rehab.

Marijuana is not habit forming, and doesn't create a chemical dependency like alcohol, cigarettes or heroin or crack
2. Why did Spicer say medical marijuana is ok but recreational isn't? The federal government says marijuana has no medical uses (which I disagree with). So wouldn't accepting medical marijuana be selectively enforcing federal law as well?
3. This is will make Republicans and Trump even more unpopular with the millennial generation.
4. Republicans can forget about winning statewide elections in swing state Colorado and probably swing state Nevada (goodbye Dean Heller) as well for the foreseeable future if they go through with this.

What planet do you live on? Have you ever tried depriving a pot head of his/her pot? They'll do almost anything for it and I'm not talking for medical reasons. They're just as addicted as any tobacco user.
It's about time they enforced the law. Recreational marijuana is nothing more than buying votes, and putting people in peril. Two good reasons for enforcement.
Red states have passed marijuana laws too and I don't see any restrictions on alcohol. I have never used marijuana and have no interest but I LOVE the tax revenue it has generated in Washington state. If Trump's brain was one 10th the size of his ego, he would impose a federal tax on marijuana call it good.
Pot shops have sold over $1 billion worth of non-medicinal marijuana since July 2014, in turn generating more than $250 million for Washington state through excise taxes, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported Friday.

Yet tobacco is legal because the South.

If he wants to go after opioid addiction, go after opioid pain relievers and the doctors that prescribe them with wild abandon. Marijuana is no different than alcohol, probably less addictive, but Trump the hair haired cheeto king has to cater to the right. Amazing how "states rights" works one day but doesn't the next.

BS. As someone who has gone through periods of my life where I smoked a lot, and then gone years without smoking, I will tell you that you are full of crap. I was also a cigarette smoker and it took me years, and five tries, to finally kick that habit. Pot is not physically addictive, and you can quit without any kind of physical withdrawals.
Here's a little tip for you since you appear to be totally ignorant on the subject--Reefer Madness was not a documentary.
