Why won't Trump enforce the law?

"There's a big difference between that and recreational marijuana. When you see something like the opioid addiction crisis blossoming around so many states around this country, the last thing we should be doing is encouraging people ... there's still a federal law that we need to abide by when it comes to recreational marijuana." - Sean Spicer

Marijuana is a schedule 1 drug meaning federal law makes no distinction between medical and recreational use. I wonder how much power Trump has to enforce a law in what is clearly a politically biased way. Sure, the President can set enforcement priorities but to ignore the law and only go after marijuana in those states with recreational (which just so happens to be states he did not do well in) should not be constitutional.
 
The democrats have had 50 years to legalize MJ at the federal level, and they've given us nothing but lip service and lies.

What are you, 12?

I am claiming his enforcement of it in a politically motivated way should not be constitutional.

It was not correct or relevant. The drug laws were not created by Democrats alone and they have not enjoyed absolute power over the last 50 years. Democrats have sucked on this issue and that has nothing to do with the OP.

The poster is obviously addressing selective enforcement as a deprivation of equal protection, so I want to know why Kentucky is filled only with stupid people.

Already stated the "rule", "can you address the OP?"

The law is what it is and both Republicans and Democrats are to blame. My point here is about the politically motivated enforcement. Why should Trump be able to ignore what the law demands while stepping up enforcement in those states where he did not do well?

What amendment would you write and add to the Constitution if you could, Dick?

Why address the op when it starts with a lie ......do you want people to defend your lie or refute it....

When you start with a lie its just as well we all fuckin' ignore the post altogether....
 
he can simply say legal weed is more able to be "diverted"to illegal uses. easier to get, more easy to sell on black marjket
There is a lot of wiggle room -they can make up what they want to real or not

FIRST; I am amused by the argument that Trump isn't enforcing laws 40 days into his Presidency. It's almost as moronic as the leftist canards about him not having an IMMEDIATE fix for Obamacare replacement and not starting the wall.

SECOND; the concept between "recreational use" and "medical" is a farce.

THIRD; why is it that people so desperately want to make a DRUG like this LEGAL? Marijuana is not a "harmless" drug and most who use it with regularity turn out to be brain dead useless unemployed dumbfucks.

So what do LOSERS who are doing marijuana do about companies who will test for the drug on a regular basis knowing that users are a cause of harm to themselves and others on the job?

Meanwhile, while MJ dullards whine about legalization of the drug and Trump's potential enforcement, Trump is focused on what voters sent him to DC to do; create a job creation environment to employ Americans and defend out borders.

LAST; banning the drug is most certainly a Constitutional. Here; be informed instead of looking like a low information fool:

Gonzales v. Raich (previously Ashcroft v. Raich), 545 U.S. 1 (2005), was a decision by the United States Supreme Court ruling that under the Commerce Clause of the US Constitution, Congress may criminalize the production and use of homegrown cannabis even if states approve its use for medicinal purposes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzales_v._Raich

As part of a larger scheme to regulate drugs and other controlled substances, federal law prohibits the cultivation, distribution, and possession of marijuana. No exception is made for marijuana used in the course of a recommended medical treatment. Indeed, by categorizing marijuana as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), the federal government has concluded that marijuana has “no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.”

Even if the federal government is prohibited from mandating that the states adopt laws supportive of federal policy, the constitutional doctrine of preemption generally prevents states from enacting laws that are inconsistent with federal law. Under the Supremacy Clause, state laws that conflict with federal law are generally preempted and therefore void.

Why do you think it is the Democrat's duty to do this, Kentucky?

Dear dunce; he is pointing out the stupidity of the thread premise that after 50 years of Democratic intransigence, to suddenly bitch about Trump enforcing laws on the books 40 days into the Presidency are hypocritical and ..... well.....moronic.

Your claim is false and based on either your delusional OPINION or a false narrative.

Do you have any evidence beyond "because you say so" to support the idiotic contention that he is "selectively" enforcing the law?

It is ironic when Trump detractors whine about selective enforcement while they "selectively" choose to ignore our immigration laws and the outcome of the election.
