Would Not Be Surprised If DEA Starts Raiding Shops & Growing Facilities In Legal States.

Sessions is setting up precedent to start closing down facilities in legalized states. I keep saying you cannot put anything past the audacity of the GOP and it allies. The GOP is fully behind the Trump agenda in every way.

The GOP is working at wrecking as much as they can before anyone can react. And we will see a growing tendency to go after and punish blue states over red states in various ways. I see the tax bill as just the beginning of openly partisanship enforcement of law and policies by Trump.

Despite the fact that he got rid for the fraud commission he still wants revenge against anyone not supporting him.

And stop him in his tracks knowing it'll destroy the gop in the next election. Too many already overwhelmingly favor legalization. Many trump supporters would turn on them. Session's won't last long after this, and trump will blame him for it. Another way to install a better yes man to stop the Russia investigation with.

It's a thriving industry here, big growing operations, research, breeding strains, packaging, side industries like vaping equipment...it's going to destroy peoples' lives and a significant part of the economy.

I cannot imagine people standing still for this. The police will storm the Mom and Pop pot shops and haul away the employees and destroy the inventory? There are hundreds of them here!

I cannot imagine.
