And yes, I also spent most of yesterday mad about Sessions, but I'm hoping the US attorneys (who Sessions says will be the ones to determine if people are prosecuted) are going to follow the herd on this one. They are not elected officials themselves, but they are closely tied to the whims of local politicians who aren't going to want to cause a mass exodus of their following over something as trivial as this.
Yesterday I read a study about how researchers have finally determined that drinking too much alcohol actually causes DNA to change, which is irreversible - yet it's legal. It's time we quit this silly war on pot and focus our attention on the people who are suffering with very serious addictions like heroin, meth, etc. That is a health crisis, not a criminal one, and should be treated as such. And places where pot is legalized has seen a drop in overdoses of other drugs. To me it's a no-brainer.
