Sessions wants to prosecute medical marijuana providers

As I understand it, medical marijuana is helpful for those going through chemo, as it helps with the nausea. Here is a listing by state of uses.

I agree with you, it's always about the money. The problem here is medical marijuana is already legal in many states. Unfortunately we have an Administration that somehow connects its use to opiate addictions. So their solution is to get rid of the relief that people are receiving. 

A more cyncical person would look at this and say....hmmm...who would benefit from this? Maybe pharmaceutical companies making anti nausea drugs? Hmmmmm....

State law doesn't mean shit if the Feds want you. People that open these pot distribution centers are insane in my opinion. Until federal law changes, why would you risk everything to make a living? 

I have a friend who set his daughter up in Co. They bought a couple acres and group it. They sell to a distro store. She cannot keep up with the demand. She said the distro place has a safe that is 6x8 and every time she goes it is filled with cash. She was told they empty it twice a fucking day. She is looking for more land. 

So bigger picture, he wants to eliminate barriers to the Federal govt overreaching into states rights?

This was my major concern about Sessions. He's anti-decriminalization, and his logic is a bit wonky. Prosecute these providers because they're getting people hooked eventually on heroin. I know lots of marijuana users for 20+ years (not me) - not ONE has any interest in heroin or anything harder that marijuana. And the data proves that - "opiate deaths and overdoses actually decrease in states with medical marijuana laws on the books"

How about cracking down on opiate prescription, which is the real gateway to heroin use??

In the end, this is all you need to know:

"Medical marijuana is incredibly popular with voters overall. A Quinnipiac poll conducted in April found it was supported by 94 percent of the public. Nearly three-quarters of voters said they disapprove of the government enforcing federal marijuana laws in states that have legalized it either medically or recreationally."

We The People. You work for us, assholes.

I don't see anything wrong with taking opiates to alleviate pain after surgery for a short period, like a week max. The problem is when the Dr fucks up and keeps prescribing them. That being said, at a certain point the individual has a responsibility to recognize they have a problem and just quit. Unfortunately some people are just hard wired to become addicts and those are the people that die from ODs. 

I think it's criminal the way drugs like methadone are controlled so tightly so that people that want to quit can't just walk into a CVS and get it.
