but they need to know that this would make him unpopular. He cares more about his ratings than anything else, and raids on legal dispensaries will not help his ratings.

Shops won't be able to sell stuff more powerful than a pre determined level. This allows them to have a steady stream of violaters that they can prosecute, fine, lock up etc. it will also push people toward the black market which will help to keep their private prisons filled.

James Lee voted for Donald Trump in November and even attended Trump’s inauguration in January. Now, he’s scrambling to save a business venture two years in the making, one which a new Trump policy on marijuana could snuff out overnight.


Elections have consequences James. Voting based on slogans and wishful thinking also have consequences.

Perhaps he can get a job cleaning rooms in a Trump property.

during the campaign. Why wouldn't he lie about the marajuana issue? His BFF in the campaign was Jefferson Beauregard Sessions. Of course he'll defer to his bff.

Right there next to the matchstick fries and the relish - a big ol' Shit Sandwich, with the filling oozing out from between the slices of bread onto the plate, remember?

And right next to it, it said "Shit Sandwich Special - $8.99" - and you bought it anyway, and started to dig in.

And then it suddenly hit you - "Hey! This sandwich is filled with shit!"

Seriously, fuck this guy and fuck everybody who voted for T***p - how stupid is too stupid?

Lee seems to like the idea of a Wall on the southern border, so my guess is he isn't too welcoming to immigrants, especially Hispanic ones.

another person ignorantly, willingly voting against his interests.
A little research on his man crush would have shown the guy was and is anti-cannabis.
no sympathy.
and I'm very pro-weed legalization etc.
But no sympathy for mr Pot Cruise.
He's just a hanger on to the pot industry, not out there growing, manufacturing and supplying people.
He's barely even selling picks and shovels in a gold rush. He's selling seminars.

Same as the reason Sessions won't read the reports on Ferguson and Chicago
