If Jeff Sessions wants to go after a drug that is killing and maiming kids, adults and elderly he

should go after the sugar industry. At least end the subsidies. Sugar is far more dangerous than marijuana ever can be.

1. SEssions literally has the brain and personality of

a child.

He thinks pot is yucky, hippies do it, and his momma would say it is bad.

That is the extent of his intellectual capabilities.

8. Worse than that

He thnks it's something black folks use.

2. That would be way too reasonable...

I couldn’t agree more about ending the subsidies.

The war on drugs is really just a war on personal freedom.

3. +1000

4. Our Country Would Be Better Served If Sessions Focused on The Opioid Epidemic

Oh wait, big pharma donates liberally to the GOP.

6. No, because they punish legitimate patients, like our relative dying from terminal cancer, while

making a lot of useless noise about fetanyl from China. They go after suffering patients with terminal illnesses and legitimate chronic pain conditions because those people are easy to target (and doctors who are NOT being irresponsible but follow every rule and still get punished). Sessions is the last person who should be involved with making decisions that impact seriously ill people to benefit the “war on drugs.” He also doesn’t care about the patients who use cannabis for these conditions either.

5. Sessions is stuck in the 1950s.

The prevailing attitude in the 1950s was that anyone who smoked pot was a moral degenerate. Smoking pot, even just once, made one a hopeless addict and violent psychopath.

I remember those ideas, as I am about the same age as Sessions. I moved on, growing up along with society. Sessions did not. He is stuck in the 1950s.

7. I thought you were going to say alcohol.

9. Sessions is very invested in the prison complex. He wants those cells filled..n/t

[Wounded Bear]

10. But, but, but marijuana leads to overeating sweets and shit...

He's just trying to stop diabetes before it happens.
