The YouTube channel is kind of goofy, but he got a good Jordan Peterson clip.

This idea was run up the flagpole nearly 3 years ago, only it concerned the war on terror. Somehow I don't think job creation is the magic pill. No pun intended.

Harf said Monday night that the U.S. can’t focus on killing terrorists, and instead needs to help them find work. She said the U.S. needs to get to the root cause of terrorism, which includes “lack of opportunity for jobs.”

Not advocating a jobs program as a method to combat the drug problem.
Suggesting that an improved economy will create desirable jobs which, in turn, will diminish the drug problem.

Just looking at it from a larger systemic view, not really from a view of case-by-case.

WRT Trump enforcing federal drug laws, I suspect part of this is him creating an issue which can be used as a future bargaining chip.
Working with both sides of the isle, he could propose legislation where marijuana is classified on a different schedule, perhaps in exchange for some border wall funding to keep out "hard drugs".

Trump has a history of creating bargaining chips where they previously didn't exist.

The drug trade won't go away because it allows people to make way too much money in way too short of a time. It's a lazy, victim, mindset.

After interviewing, interrogating, and jailing way too many dealers for my liking, they stick to the fact that they don't want to work because they will never earn the amount of money they do by dealing drugs. Simply put, they are lazy. The risk is worth the reward - in their minds.

In my AO, we are one of the most rapid growing cities in the nation. Our drug dealers haven't skipped a beat and we have more jobs here than we have ever had in my lifetime.

It's a lazy, victim mentality that permeates much of their thinking. Maybe not all -- but many.

I am glad to hear we have a "war" on opiods. But, I have questions. What happened to the "war" on meth? Wasn't meth supposed to paralyze the Appalachian region and the south? Whole communities were going to be decimated, a whole generation of children was going to grow up without parents, the government social services at all levels were supposed to collapsed. When did the "war" on meth end? What happened to the "wars" on crack, ice and a whole plethora of illegal substances?

My guess would be is that opioids are killing tens of thousands and meth is only making them the "living dead"............. and no one cares about the living dead. Besides, until ten "celebrity's" are found dead in a pool of their own vomit from meth use no one is going to give a shitte.

LOL......Hummmmm.....I could think of a few "Useless Celeb's" that could be on the next vomit drug overdose death list.......but, who really cares....

There is a city called Elkton in Cecil County, Opioid Capital of Maryland...You cannot drive thru the area without seeing one of the "Opioid Walkers" as we call them walking the streets looking for hits....

From what I heard last night there was a big room full of useless celebs gathered together to self congratulate each other on how they performed their jobs playing pretend.

If the place would have collapsed and killed them all, I'd have celebrated.

Attorney General Sessions to end Obama-era policy that let legal pot flourish
FOXNEWS

Attorney General Jeff Sessions plans to roll back an Obama-era policy that had allowed legal marijuana to thrive without federal intervention, Fox News confirmed Thursday.

The Obama administration back in 2013 announced via a memo from then-Deputy Attorney General James Cole that it would not obstruct states that legalized marijuana, on the condition the drug was not allowed to move to states where it was illegal and it was kept away from children and gangs.

Sessions is expected to announce that he will rescind that memo and instead leave it to U.S. attorneys in states where the drug is legal to decide to what extent they will enforce federal laws.

The Associated Press reported that the move will likely add to confusion among users and suppliers about whether they can grow, buy and sell marijuana in states -- as federal law bans it.

The government regards marijuana as a controlled dangerous substances, grouped together with drugs such as heroin. Sessions has blamed its increased use for spikes in violence in the U.S.

I have my opinions about legalization but if all the states are not gonna legalize it then none should....Colorado has always had it's fair share of liberals but these mountains were not explored by Grizzly Adams type liberals it was conquered by some badasses who felt it was our God given right as supreme beings to discover, explore and conquer the wilderness.....the limp wristed lefties just enjoy it but not enough to explore them they just get stoned and admire them.

My reason? Living in Colorado has gotten exponentially more crowded full of drug seeking a-holes and liberals....the cost of housing is through the roof....homeless are an even bigger issue than ever.....I now routinely patrol the park and riverbed by my house to make it inhospitable for them.......and liberal stupidity is at an all time high no pun intended....the Governor has suspended the legal death penalty while he is in office insulting the families of the victims of some extremely brutal crimes that have had their future legally determined in a court of law decision to be killed.....they claim that the cost of fighting repeals makes it cheaper to keep them in prison.....get rid of it's legal status and spread the retardation back out to where they came from....

The plus? Food sales are up

[Team Sergeant]

I've given up my dreams of being "Pot King of Calif". I'm just going to set up a "Discount Ammunition Sales" store in Arizona, just 5 miles from the Kalif border.

[Streck-Fu]

Like with alcohol prohibition, the lifting of the ban, to be effective, must be nation wide. No longer are people making gin in bathtubs to supply the speakeasy downstairs and their are no longer gangs running booze getting into shoot out with revenuers... For a reason.

When the ultra-left wing starts reporting that dope is bad for you, you should take notice. Makes a strong case for the "triggered" snowflakes.

Save your pro dope retorts for the idiots.......

Cannabis users are more likely to experience negative emotions, particularly feeling alienated from others, new research reveals.
People who use marijuana are significantly more likely to feel that others wish them harm or are deceiving them, a US study found.
Brain scans also reveal the class-B drug increases signal connectivity in regions of the brain that have previously been linked to psychosis, the research adds, which is associated with severe depression.
Teenage cannabis users are particularly affected as their brains are still developing, according to the researchers.
In the US, 44 percent of those aged 12 or over have used cannabis at some point in their lives.

There significant health effect for both alcohol and tobacco use and you can cherry pick all kinds of studies to show that either legal substance causes similar effects. As a matter of policy, the war on drugs in general and Marijuana prohibition in particular are the benchmark of government failure.
It is not worth the time, money, expanding police state, nor risk to officers or citizens to perpetuate this failure.

LOL

I've no idea where that came from......... but please keep smoking it.

You really want to argue alcohol when the subject is dope. Alcohol has been in widespread human use for over 10,000 years. We are well aware of the effects/dangers.
