| Question of the Week | | Tuesday we asked: U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded the Cole Memo, a federal guideline suggesting the federal government not enforce federal marijuana laws in states with legalized marijuana. In Massachusetts, medical marijuana is already legal, and companies can begin applying to open recreational marijuana shops in April. Those stores can open in July. The Massachusetts marijuana business is projected to be a $1.1-billion industry by 2020. | | Should federal marijuana laws be enforced in Massachusetts as sales of recreational cannabis are expected to begin in just a few months? | | | Where are our reps in Congress? With so many states relaxing the prohibitions on Pot, Congress should change/update the federal laws. States that want to prohibit Pot can still do so. Another example where Congress needs to get off their lazy, butts and do something. The federal government should not be choosing which laws to enforce and which laws to look the otherway, just because our law makers are incompetent. I personally did not vote in favor of legalizing marijuana. However, since the state did pass it into law, the state's rights should matter. The voters have spoken in MA. The federal government has more important issues to address -- like the opioid epidemic! | | See All Comments >> | |
