Thread: Our Justice Department, marijuana, illegal entrants and adhering to our Constitution

Apparently Trump's plan is to shake it up to motivate Congress to remove marijuana and hemp from the controlled substances act as they both should be. I hope Congress acts on this swiftly and completely for all marijuana and all hemp plants. DEA and DOJ need to focus their drug control attention on foreign drug cartels shipping in illegal foreign drugs and hauling our money out of the country while using illegal aliens to do the shipping in and hauling out, as well as get a grip on this horrible opioid addiction emergency.

Weed should be a state and local option issue just like alcohol and managed in the same way as alcohol and tobacco in ATF. From a business and tax standpoint, the more legal weed transaction, the more federal and state taxes that are collected. There's no reason at all after all these years of the failed War on Drugs to allow a $300 billion a year drug trade to operate unregulated and untaxed. Makes no sense at all to continue this childish idiotic dangerous deadly War on Drugs. In fact, I support legalization of all recreational drugs with good regulations to manage quality and quantity, and if taxed under the FairTax, use some of the taxes collected that only drug users pay to fund better education of the real risks and consequences of using drugs, the costs of regulation and free drug rehab on demand without stigma or consequences for anyone who wants or needs it.

That removes the cost of recreational drug rehab from health insurance which would reduce health insurance costs as well, and only drug users are paying for it. With the FairTax, you could do the same thing with alcohol addiction.
