Dear Pot Lawyer,
Melissa McCarthy Spicer said there could be a federal crackdown on recreational marijuana! Is this true?
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer says many peculiar things. Regarding marijuana, he recently said, “I do believe that you’ll see greater enforcement.” He also distinguished between recreational and medical marijuana before making a bullshit comparison with opioid addiction.
We’ll have to wait and see what this means, exactly, but a shift in the executive branch’s marijuana policy creates many complex issues. The most important one? Federal legislators could and should loosen marijuana laws soon.
One week before Spicey’s statements, Oregon’s Earl Blumenauer and Colorado’s Jared Polis (both Democrats), with California’s Dana Rohrabacher and Alaska’s Don Young (both Republicans), officially launched the bipartisan Congressional Cannabis Caucus.
