The U.S. Government's Many Ways To Freeze The Legal Marijuana Industry



A solid majority of Americans say marijuana should be legal. But will the federal government let dozens of state pot experiments play out? Hardly. The government still has many means to slow or stop the marijuana train. And President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions to be the next attorney general has raised fears that the new administration could crack down on weed-tolerant states--20 years after California became the first to legalize medical marijuana. According to the Associated Press, Sessions said during an April Senate hearing, "We need grown-ups in charge in Washington to say marijuana is not the kind of thing that ought to be legalized. It ought not to be minimized, that it's in fact a very real danger." The Controlled Substances Act bans pot--even for medical purposes. The government rarely invokes its authority to sue states, but it's the quickest path to compliance. The Justice Department could file lawsuits on the grounds that state laws regulating pot are unconstitutional because they are pre-empted by federal law. Twenty-eight states and Washington, D.C., allow marijuana for medical or recreational purposes. However, the government has yet to sue any of them. Other options for the federal government to put a chilling effect on the marijuana business are expensive DEA raids on homes and businesses, stricter regulations, and onerous financial hurdles. http://apne.ws/2fJ2fXH http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
