Remember everyone, this is why government needs to be small. So it can fit inside bathrooms and bongs.

Again political rationale? You're just antagonizing states over a completely minor issue. Let them toke up. It isn't a battle you want to fight.

Trump is a major long term gift to his opposition.

You're not even punishing moonbat legislators: Washington's marijuana law was passed by voters even in very red counties.

For pretty much any issue.  

Before the election: "Don't worry!  Trump would never do that!"

After the election: Trump does all of it and more.

Civil rights for vulnerable children are a states issue. Smoking a relatively harmless plant is a federal crime. Okay...

Spicer pointing to the opioid epidemic to justify action against pot is pretty much the drug war in a nutshell.

Nothing Spicer says should be taken with the least bit of seriousness. This has been very clear for weeks.

Jeff "good people don't smoke marijuana" Sessions was appointed by Trump to be Attorney General. We all know he will almost certainly crack down on weed.

Private Prisons too!

Cool, sick people getting even sicker, small business owners out of a job, black market growing, MUH STATES RIGHTS being infringed upon, etc etc.  Trump seems to be desperately trying to tank his approval ratings even lower.

Let him do it and watch what happens when he goes against what the people voted for.

Can't wait.

Never mind on Colorado ever being even remotely competitive if this happens. Alaskans might also get pissed off--all these amazingly enlightened policy moves.

FWIW, Spicer indicated the administration has no problem with medical marijuana.

But Carpetbagger told us Trump would be the most liberal GOP president ever! /s

I'm sure the states in which recreational pot is legal will sue and will result in a huge time-wasting clusterf**k. Hopefully people who voted for Trump thinking he would maintain the status quo on social issues get their head in order.

If they actually end up taking an aggressive stance towards legalization, it could pay dividends for Colorado Democrats. Besides the Democrat-controlled Gov office, there are 3 GOP-held executive offices up in 2018, the State Senate, 1-2 House seats that would be potentially be in play and then in 2020, Gardner's Senate seat.

Someone in GOP leadership should try and talk him out of anything bold on this front. It's not worth it. America has turned sharply in favor of medical/legalized marijuana.

Feds: Trans people are people.
Trump: STATES RIGHTS!

States: We're ok with pot.
Trump: NO RIGHTS, STATES!

I hope all those midwestern Jill Stein voters feel happy with themselves.

If all Jill Stein voters voted for Hillary, she still would've lost. You want to get angry, get angry at the 9% of Democrats who voted for Trump.

But then again, that doesn't fit the narrative of "third parties bad. Establishment good. Wall Street good. Progressives get out."

One other thing I forgot to add, but I'll add it now because it seems relevant . . . Hillary was not entitled to votes. Stop acting like she was entitled. She didn't earn those votes. It goes the same for Ralph Nader in 2000; he earned he votes for him and Gore didn't.

It would not have swung the election.
