Well moral relativism is dead and well most people and well republicans and democrats agree marijuana is safe and the drug war is a failure. I do agree with you on that but again sessions is fucking with a states income.

Of course you have to remember that the "drug war" was never about safety.... or drugs. It was about Nixon and his war machine.

Quote:One of Richard Nixon's top advisers and a key figure in the Watergate scandal said the war on drugs was created as a political tool to fight blacks and hippies, according to a 22-year-old interview recently published in Harper's Magazine.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people," former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman told Harper's writer Dan Baum for the April cover story published Tuesday.
