With the Opioid Epidemic taking American lives everyday, Attorney General Sessions must stop his hideous excuse to criminal marijuana; "The Rule of Law."

March 2008

Every day, (click here) more than 115 Americans die after overdosing on opioids. The misuse of and addiction to opioids—including prescription pain relieversheroin, and synthetic opioids such as fentanyl—is a serious national crisis that affects public health as well as social and economic welfare. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the total "economic burden" of prescription opioid misuse alone in the United States is $78.5 billion a year, including the costs of healthcare, lost productivity, addiction treatment, and criminal justice involvement....

Attorney General Jeff Sessions must end his ranting about marijuana. (click here) There is an epidemic of opioid use and abuse in the USA. As reported by the USA Government there are minimally 115 Americans dying everyday. They are brothers, sisters, children, fathers and mothers and they are in profound need of a legal alternative to an opioid addiction.

The introduction of legalized use of marijuana can be that alternative to opioids. Most addicted to opioids have chronic pain. The idea it has to be illegal is nonsense and a hideous idea from the days when Wall Street was worried about competition with alcohol. Well, marijuana might be competition for Wall Street if it were being sold in the corner grocery along with beer, wine and cigarettes, but, it is not. Most marijuana for sale in the USA is sold in a specialty store where it is monitored and grown under tight scrutiny for quality.

Legalized marijuana in the USA has no FENTANYL!

Legalized USA marijuana can control pain among other ailments. 

Enough is enough, Attorney General Sessions. How many White Supremacists have the AG put behind bars so far?

Most abandoned that kind of scene decades ago once they started jobs and families. But with the kids grown, retirement looming, and the legal sale of recreational pot set to start in Massachusetts this summer, some are ready to resume the party — or a 21st-century version of it.

“I can see going over to somebody’s house for a party and there’ll be a joint passed around,” said Jim Kerr, 64, of Lexington, a lawyer who plans to retire from his Boston firm later this year. “Or people will be munching on brownies. I’m sure that will happen.”...
