Who was prosecuted? Purchasers or the people who took a far greater risk of distributing pounds and pounds of pot?

It is pretty clear that I am talking to children here, which is awesome. I hate to be "that guy", but one of things I've noticed about "kids these days" (basically Millennials on down) is that everyone thinks they know everything and and aggressively tell your and yet refuse to do their homework.

The Obama administration cracked down on medical marijuana dispensaries, prosecuting both owners and ordinary minimum wage employees.

State and local police in California are now actively prosecuting the "grey market" that people in this thread seem to think is immune.

That will soon come to DC. But it is easy to see why folks on here feel immune. They're not Black.

Storefront adult-use dispensaries were, and are, illegal, but gray-market sellers began offering to deliver overpriced items like juice that would come with a free “gift” of weed. Police records show that during the next four years of quasi-legality, 84 percent of the people arrested on cannabis-related charges in the city were Black—about double the proportion of Black people living in the nation’s capital.

So I'm a child but you totally ignore the bolded word in my short question. Of course.

Refusing to cooperate with the feds on matters like this sets a fantastic precedent for other states to reject any future federal gun laws and bans.

The funny part is how the very same people who are applauding Colorado and California for legalizing weed and refusing to cooperate with ICE are also the very same people screeching about Missouri and other states refusing to abide by any future federal gun bans.



Thanks for the precedents!!!! Love ya!

Bwahahahaha!!!!!

So very true.

I'm reading the book, "Locking Up Our Own," by a Black (former) public defender in DC in the 90s, about how Black leadership were some of the toughest on crime, particularly with regard to drug laws. And some of their arguments in the 70s and 80s against decriminalization of marijuana was that while both Black and White youth use in the same numbers, White kids are generally higher income and have the economic supports and resources to help mitigate any damage done through drug use. Black youth generally don't. And at the heart of that are income disparities that impact everything we do.

In fact, in some jurisdictions where marijuana has been legalized for those 21 and over, the arrest rate for Black youth has gone up. Because marijuana use has gone up.

I personally don't care if marijuana is legal or not. But it does present other social disorder issues, outside of arrests/records, and those will still impact Black youth more than White. Look at Sha'Carri Richardson's suspension from the Olympics for THC use. It's not an arrest. But it is a negative impact of drug use. And those types of issues will continue to disproportionately impact people of color.

Back to the point of the book -- we need to create an infrastructure that supports the health impacts of drug use if we are going to legalize it. And we completely ignore that. While marijuana isn't addictive in the traditional sense, improper use can rise to the level of marijuana use disorder. And that does impact family, work, and community. Put the support services in place at the same time. Use some of that new tax money to do so.

Exactly. Mr Clearance joins every thread about marijuana with dire claims of loss employment and a complete lack of understanding of the law.

This guy is a mega dotard. You have to be an idiot to get busted for smoking weed, regardless of whether you have a clearance or not. This guy knows nothing about the real world.

Pretending you know what an FS-86 is isn't a felony. It is just funny!

I am glad to know that you are familiar then.

The U.S. Criminal Code (title 18, section 1001) provides that knowingly falsifying or concealing a material fact is a felony which may result in fines and/or up to five (5) years imprisonment. In addition, Federal agencies generally fire, do not grant a security clearance, or disqualify individuals who have materially and deliberately falsified these forms, and this remains a part of the permanent record for future placements. Your prospects of placement or security clearance are better if you answer all questions truthfully and completely. You will have adequate opportunity to explain any information you provide on this form and to make your comments part of the record.

LMAO. I know you can't comprehend the situation but you keep losing...

You still mad you can't get cleared, but people who have used pot can?

Even the "good" Obama federally prosecuted illegal marijuana sales from dispensaries. If people think they are safe breaking the law, more power to them.

Annnnnnd again, Federal job reference. Do you not have any other points to make?
