Oregon Governor Warns Trump to Keep Hands off Oregon Legal Pot Business

Even in states where the plant is legal for recreational use, the Trump Administration promised to crack down due to the recent opioid crisis.

Eight states and the District of Columbia allow recreational use of marijuana.

“But you have to see something happen before you can really react to it”, he said.

There is also evidence that there are lower rates of opioid overdoses in states where marijuana is legal than in states where it isn’t.

In order for Nevada’s industry to bloom, the state needs medical marijuana to be more accessible, Peterson said. Recently, however, the administration appeared to take a tougher line.

A group of USA senators, including one Republican, sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions imploring the Trump administration to back off threats to crackdown on state marijuana laws.

In 2014, marijuana was the reason for over 700,000 arrests, comprising over 40 percent of the total amount of drug arrests in the United States. It’s been revealed that Attorney General Jeff Sessions has privately reassured Republican senators that he is not considering a major shift in marijuana enforcement after all. Sessions said this week that he is “dubious about marijuana” and is reviewing current policy. The new report offers projections for both medical and recreational use. “This ensures that state infrastructure, including tax revenue, small businesses, and jobs, can be protected; DOJ resources can be used most effectively; and most importantly, that marijuana can be properly regulated to improve public health and safety”. Oregon, Alaska and the District of Columbia approved recreational use in 2014, followed by California, Nevada, Massachusetts and ME past year.

There are a lot of unfounded rhetoric that states smoking pot can give you lung cancer since you’re inhaling smoke (like cigarettes). The Right will argue things such as education and healthcare should be handled at the state and local level, but will undermine the legitimacy of laws enacted by states when it comes to marijuana.

One state over, Earl Blumenauer, U.S. Representative from OR, posted an official statement on his website.

However, if Trump is serious about fostering an environment of economic prosperity and job creation, he may want to set his sights on the burgeoning marijuana industry instead.

But Peterson, Sturtsman and Ferrence all agreed that Spicer’s comments – which made clear that Trump sees recreational and medical marijuana differently – offer hope. On the other hand, the Association for Cancer Research has found the marijuana actually helps slow down tumour growth in the lungs, breasts, and brain substantially, therefore demonstrating the opposite.

What makes lying to impose a religious-based edict particularly egregious in this particular instance is that the specific lie is meant to sate Republicans other need; making Americans suffer. People suffering from seizures have also reported that marijuana has been a treatment with fewer side effects than prescribed medication. The event will also be held on Moapa Paiute tribal lands that are federally allowed to cultivate and sell cannabis within their premises.

CFN Media (CannabisFN) is the leading creative agency and media network dedicated to legal cannabis. “It is coming from the tech sector in particular”.

“Any law that is not uniformly enforced needs to be addressed or changed”, Garrett said.

“I don’t know how anybody could not be thinking that”, Weinberg said. If you didn’t know better, you could nearly view his remarks as a tacit “America first” defense of the domestic marijuana industry against foreign competition. If the feds were to begin to slap growers and pot retailers with orders to cease and desist, the values of their shuttered properties would plummet, and the investors holding the notes would take big losses.

“I just looked at one yesterday”, Weinberg said.
