Why Having Jeff Sessions Around May Be Good

Jeff Sessions is in serious trouble. Our affable attorney general with the antebellum values has been, ever since he took the oath of office.

This realization is great news for anyone who cares about criminal justice, drug policy and the American republic—because it means that Jeff Sessions, Cotton Hill with a Cabinet position, can’t get anything done[…] Read the rest: http://hightimes.com/news/why-having-jeff-sessions-around-may-be-good/

Legalization Spelling Trouble for MMJ (But It’s Not All Bad)

#MustWeed http://www.fortune420.com/legalization-spelling-trouble-for-mmj-but-its-not-all-bad/

Call us biased all you want, but it’s hard to find much wrong with marijuana legalization. Legal adult-use cannabis sales have been good for schools, good for the economy and good for social justice.

Jobs have been created, potholes have been filled and teachers and police officers (how’s that for irony) have been hired or kept on the job thanks to tax revenue[…] Read the rest: http://Hightimes.com/news/legalization-spelling-trouble-for-mmj-but-its-not-all-bad/

Jeff Sessions’ Phony Marijuana War

#MustWeed http://www.fortune420.com/jeff-sessions-phony-marijuana-war/

On Thursday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, America’s cheerful white-hooded Smeagol, was in Memphis selling his vision of the country as a violent wasteland beset by ruthless criminals and mindless gang members preying on helpless innocents.

Speaking to an appreciative audience of about 100 law-enforcement officers—the likes of whom have been “under siege” in the United States in recent years, according to Congressman David Kustoff, a former local federal prosecutor—Sessions reiterated his tough-on-crime, more-is-less solution[…] Read the rest: http://Hightimes.com/news/jeff-sessions-phony-marijuana-war/

New Jersey’s Next Governor Will Almost Certainly Legalize Marijuana

#MustWeed http://www.fortune420.com/new-jerseys-next-governor-will-almost-certainly-legalize-marijuana/

Despite Christie’s best efforts, weed is so popular in New Jersey that it could be one of the first states to legalize the drug via the legislative process rather than at the ballot.

State Sen. Nick Scutari is planning to introduce legislation to do just that, with support from Senate President Stephen Sweeney.

Since Democrats control the state legislature in Jersey, lawmakers can sign on without any fear of a backroom backstab. Legalization is so mainstream in Jersey that the Star-Ledger, the state’s largest newspaper, published an editorial in support[…] Read the rest: http://Hightimes.com/news/new-jerseys-next-governor-will-almost-certainly-legalize-marijuana/

Major-League Stoners: Why Pro Baseball is Full of Marijuana

#MustWeed http://www.fortune420.com/major-league-stoners-why-pro-baseball-is-full-of-marijuana/

The pay is so low it should be illegal. The bus rides are so long, they are illegal. And unlike their well-compensated and chartered-flight-riding counterparts in Major League Baseball, minor league ballplayers can’t even get away with smoking marijuana.

Before a minor-leaguer can earn $12,000 a year for a spring and summer of cramming into buses for 13-hour rides with other hopefuls, their pee is tested. An end to that ignominy is just one of the many, many benefits of promotion to the show.

When you’re on a big-league team’s 40-man roster, you can smoke all you want with no fear of discovery via a drug test—and, according to one former professional baseball player, many, many do[…] Read the rest: http://hightimes.com/culture/major-league-stoners-why-pro-baseball-is-full-of-marijuana/
