Attorney General Sessions Sends a Letter to Congress Asking for the Right to Use Federal Funds to Prosecute State-Legal Marijuana Businesses

Attorney General Jeff Sessions requested permission from Congress to once again use federal funds to go after marijuana growers and other businesses. A letter which he wrote to Congress on May 1st  just became available to read.

In the letter, Sessions is pushing back against the Rohrabacher-Farr amendment which, according to this morning’s article in the Washington Post,

prohibit the Justice Department from using federal funds to prevent certain states “from implementing their own State laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession or cultivation of medical marijuana.”

A couple points in focus:

1. “737 marijuana growers ”

There weren’t 737 different individual growers. Many registrants have more than one property registered; some have more than 10 properties registered.

2. “unless we come up with $2.3 million, we’re going to lay off 23 people?” asked Supervisor Jack Garamendi”

The article doesn’t mention that as part of registration growers had to declare their sq.ft. canopy size, and allowed up to 22,000 sq.ft. There’s a $2 per-canopy-sq.ft. tax due right now.
The county has already received over $2million of those taxes; there’s still more time til the due deadline.

Cannabis won’t be banned in Calaveras. The economics are too plain and simple; the county desperately needs the weed money.

http://www.calaverasenterprise.com/news/article_62b6981c-50bc-11e7-823e-470bdc0cf978.html
Paper: “County officials reported they collected $1.1 million last week.”

Calaveras Cannabis Association commentor: ” Based on the speed of payments that we are tracking, the county has likely collected over $2 million by this point in measure C taxes and will likely have collected over $4 million by the end of this week, possibly more. “

it’s just a temporary halt, while they hurry to add the cultivation permit laws to the books. They did the same thing to that poor WHEAT farmer in Red Bluff. He complied with permits, despite his better understanding of the constitution, and was therefore granted the permits to plow and seed. However, come harvest time, he was fined and jailed for harvesting without a permit.
These are the rulers our founding fathers fought to escape from.

It’s about time someone does something about the unregulated grows and the Carnage that they cause. The total collapse of the fish runs on what used to be productive Rivers and watersheds is nothing short of criminal. Start with the governor, then the stupidvisors.

“requested permission from Congress”
Hey Congressman Huffman, what say you? Are you going to fund or defund? The ball’s in your court.
Blame Sessions while the unconstitutional epa funded by congress confiscates the lands, or not blame Sessions while the unconstitutional epa funded by purse string holders confiscates the lands? Decisions, decisions.

Congress has created the unconstitutional agency called the EPA. They then gave the EPA unconstitutional full power of authority to create their own laws, rules, fines, fees, penalties, and even enforcement. The House of Representatives funds them. They then send sound bites to media, to demonize all who oppose. Then they sit back and say, “go gettem”. Go get me that ranch at the Rio Grand. Go get me that gold mine in Oregon. Go get me all the water, air, resources, & land in every state usa. We will demonize all who dare to oppose. We will create such poverty that no one can fight us in courts. We will own it all.
The people have nothing but promises of a better tomorrow.
Speaking of promises, are you aware that States cannot make deals with foreign country’s? You might want to share this pesky detail with your congressman and governor. China today, who knows tomorrow?

Read the Constitution. Literally. Then you will see.
Congress has made unconstitutional laws & agencies against the people. The house of representatives funds these laws & agencies. The executive branch enforces these laws. The media spreads the propaganda the politicians want dispersed. The dept of education, (an unconstitutional dept), brainwashes the students and teachers into believing the unconstitutional laws and agencies are constitutional. And they all point fingers at each other and the people. It’s always the fault of the people. The people must pay extra fines, taxes, permits, or the world will implode.
THE world of the tyrants will implode, not the real world.

Either way, you’ve been had, unless we return to the original intent of the Constitution. But that takes balls.

While in the last few years the ol EPA has gone overboard with it’s enforcement more than a few times, to unconstitutional levels I must agree (one more reason why unconstitutional action needs CRIMINAL law attached to it, not just “civil” aka jail vs suing), I fail to see how the Education dept is? It has fulfilled the promise of equality, helps “promote the general welfare”, promoted the “establishment of justice”, and helps sideline tyranny due to PEOPLE BEING ABLE TO READ AND DO MATH every day. Please, explain your position on the Dept of Ed.

Powers not delegated to the government in the constitution are retained by the states. Education is not a delegated power, it is a state’s power.
The clause called General Welfare, is not intended for governing over the people’s daily welfare. It is a clause that gives the permission for the government to do what is needed for getting their delegated jobs accomplished. Building offices, roads, post offices as well as staffing, securing, stocking & maintaining them. The red tape.
Because education is not a duty delegated to them, it is an unconstitutional agency. Same with EPA, FDA, IRS, and all the abc branches.
People were reading and writing before the government was formed.

While students and post students are protesting the cost of education, the teachers and professors are encouraging them to do so. Every promise made by every politician, promises to lessen the burden of costs and to improve the quality of environment and staff.
The crowd goes wild. Taxes raised for free books and tuition! Every freshman should have a free start, while they learn how to prepare for taking on their own responsibilities in the future. We can dig this!
But, that’s not where the taxes go. Instead, the taxes are spent on classes that incite violence and division. Here’s just one out of many more out there. You can google your State’s own payroll. Discovering that the special teachers and sell out principals rake in 1/2 million dollar salaries/benefits/retirement/ etc totals, should blow your mind. If it doesn’t, may I remind you that the average teacher used to scrape by on a measely $10,000.00 per year salary. They deserved a raise back then. But, there’s no way any of us would vote for one today, after seeing where and how the money is spent in reality.

Shak, are you really that [edit] stuck in your own bubble? The EPA keeps our lands, water and air at a somewhat safe level of toxicity. Do you even realize how far gone our planet would be with out the laws that the EPA enforces. Do you think we can just dump crude oil and chemicals into our streams and pollute our air poisoning everyone and everything in sight. You really think the USEPA is just a worthless branch of government when you live on a planet that already has streams you can’t touch because they will kill you, and water fossits that catch fire when you strike a match. And animals being forced to migrate for things that should be abondant. Truly the republican agenda you agree with seems like more than half the time contradicts what its supporters wants anyways. But let’s face it republicans can’t get anything done they can barely tie they’re shoes without help. Now you have Trump who literally has been pampered his whole life he’s never had to do anything himself. You Trump supporters got played so hard! I said it all along he conned you good ol’ boys and girls so hard, you didn’t only get played like a fiddle you got shredded like jimies guitar!

Those scenarios were unlawful before the EPA. The people of the states rallied against company polluters, and they demanded for legislators to create limits and penalties. The EPA is not the superman of your dreams. Colorado river, Copper mines, sewage dumps in the southern calif/mexico .. oh, the long list of grievances are still there, with or without the epa. The epa just steals the lands through excessive fines and court trials.
What they don’t steal, the local governments do.
Perhaps a reading of the 8th amendment concerning excessive fines and cruel and unusual punishments would help achieve an epitome. Maybe the laws that state no land confiscations without just compensation.
I’m not a Trump fan, btw, but neither am I a basher of the president the people next to you voted into office. I respect their wishes. They seem to be doing a fair job of reminding him daily of his promises.
Playing the political party game is, imo, laughable. They all work for the same goal. They scratch either’s backs. They are both owned by BIG corporations. They are owned. Party’s are not fun free for alls, they are controlled by private owners, with the end goal of owning all. Stack it up.

To be Constitutional, you have to enforce constitutional laws and veto non constitutional laws. Sessions is trying to execute an unconstitutional law. The house of representatives are funding unconstitutional laws. Dems and Republicans both parlay for the same end goal. They work for the same team and that team does not include Joe America.

I’d like to see the penalty for marijuana be changed that on conviction they are parachuted into North Korea.

Trumps take on things,
Trump admires a dictator’s brutal anti-drug crusade

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has encouraged his constituents to kill drug addicts and has overseen a bloody anti-drug crusade that has resulted in thousands of deaths at the hands of law enforcement officers and groups operating extrajudicially.

In late April, Trump called Duterte to praise his drug war and invite him to the White House.

“I just wanted to congratulate you because I am hearing of the unbelievable job on the drug problem. Many countries have the problem, we have a problem, but what a great job you are doing, and I just wanted to call and tell you that,” Trump said.

Sessions,
One of the key architects of Sessions’s sentencing memo was Steven Cook, a former federal prosecutor and a lifelong hard-liner on criminal justice issues. Cook is now considering changes to policies governing marijuana and civil asset forfeiture, according to the Associated Press.

Hmm, nothing solid has really emerged from Jeff Sessions. We are still in his opinion phase. We will probly not know until we see some raids/forfeitures invoked solely by the federal government. Then to what extent, what will the criteria be. He sited a case that was shipping large amounts out of CO. He seems to like to call it medical marijuana also. Covering all bases perhaps?, state sanctioned rec and medical programs, or just the back door ops.

Easy federal conspiracy charges for Emerald Family and others who have already provided all necessary paperwork. Let’s see that new federal courthouse in McKinleyville bring in lots of cash and proceeds from auctions of confiscated property. It will be like shooting fish in a barrel!!

Marijuana is a gateway drug, the growers now deal meth because pounds continue to lose value while the late comers still have huge notes to pay on property.

B-52 used over Trinity Pines & AP would send a message. The Navy could hit grows all around SoHum & Mendo.

After the dust settles give the growers 24 hours to leave before the ground invasion begins.

Once the growers leave the rest of the drugs will leave also. During the ground invasion all.drugs would be targets, but you’ll find hard drugs are centered around grows.

The Devil’s Lettuce goes hand in hand with hard drugs.

That’s funny, the only time I ever make the mistake of considering a hard drug it’s because I’ve been drinking to much.

The wife and kids and myself have lived off grid for 38years. We used to drink our creek water but have not been able to in the last 6 years due to contaminants in the water from illegal grows. We have had to drink bottled water that comes from? Mater of fact any grows in our watershed. The grows effect not only water but wildlife also. We have hunted and fished for our food and have watched it all go away due to greedy growers the move into Humboldt county from other places on this earth. The growers don’t give two nickels about the first people here in this county. I could only hope that somehow it could be reversed by some gift from God. You people that have sold out for money, our resources, that give us life sustainability , should maybe go to Mexico or maybe Afghanistan.or some other country . I can see the medical aspect of mary jane . I don’t see how you all, that destroy our economy and our land can sleep at night. I think you should be well aware of a faction in this county that hates you and your kind . [edit]

I drank untreated water for years. Once when the water stopped running I found a bloated frog blocking the line.
Personally I think it helps the immune system.

Meth ,and Heroin is the most destructive drugs or narcotics known to man a lot of people refer to it being a disease . i suppose at some point in the cycle of addiction it becomes a disease ,so if we can just find a way to at least slow it up .mthe production and distribution of Meth and Heroin through out Humboldt county .This I think is what law enforcement state and federal should consintrate on instead of the refer to the devil lettuce.

If u live in humboldt, buy some luggage cuz the games over. There is another player in town it’s called the other 55 million people in California and they want to get in too. So do the math. Don’t let your false EGO fool you, the only reason you were successful is because you had an environmental monopoly. You sold yourselves out to the man. GAMEOVER….

I do not disagree, A diesel grow on de1000s that would be out of the question yeh. If that is the case then they should get some luggage. Without commercial rate power and a decent size solar grid, efficient lighting indoor would not be profitable. I will also add that most of that depo you speak of would fail testing if only they would test. Enter the era of black market government.

California needs to have already added strong testing, tracking, and security measures. Cover all canopies with 24/7 high res cameras that cover every step of the growing to final packaging weighed and stored. Software like DW Spectrum let you do advanced search capabilities with enhanced motion capture. I have set these up in licensed grow facilities and can train how to use it to the extent nothing can get by. Trust me we can talk tech if you want. But if I set up your system you would not be diverting to the Black Market.

A Senator warns us what’s going down fast and furiously.

“Democrats’ budget strips power from the people and rigged insider deals include no money for flood protection after the Oroville spillway failure.

Conspicuously absent from the budget deal negotiated by the Governor and Democrats are projects to improve and upgrade our deteriorated and compromised water infrastructure including Oroville Dam, and river and bypass levees.

This budget is packed more than any previous budget with major policy changes including blatant changes in California’s 100-year-old recall law which permanently will diminish citizens’ ability to recall elected officials. It opens the door for direct voter intimidation by organized special interests. For the sake of staving off a current burgeoning recall of an Orange County Senator, this cynical ploy permanently disenfranchises citizens.

This budget is filled with broken promises made by Democrats to the citizens when they passed the massive new $52 BILLION gas and car tax; it takes gas and car tax money that is supposed to go to roads, highways and bridges to pay for recruiting lifeguards, park rangers and state park maintenance and local park operations.” -Senator Jim Nielsen.

A few headlines people are ignoring while distracted with Sessions and the new news articles:
Incarcerations of rural people are increasing. https://www.wired.com/story/why-incarceration-is-skyrocketing-in-rural-america/?mbid=synd_digg

Last chance grade will cost too much for. http://www.krcrtv.com/north-coast-news/last-chance-grade-causing-concern-for-schools-1/540395484

Get on the phone. Demand that they stop playing games. Tell them to do their job of SECURING your right to freely travel, live, prosper, and vote.
Tell them you’re tired of hearing the slogans, “fight for your rights”. We KNOW we own our own rights. We KNOW our rights are off limits to officials. We KNOW the duty of officials is to SECURE our rights, not grant or deny our rights. We KNOW and we’re not going to take it anymore. FIX OUR ROADS!

When? NOW. They are passing a law to forbid recalling of officials. They are raising taxes to incarcerate rural people, instead of for fixing the roads they supposedly raise the taxes for. Do I need to continue on and on? WAKE UP!

Volleyball is fun on the beach, let’s keep it where it belongs.

Call, write, and raise awareness that you KNOW officials are elected to SECURE our rights, by protecting them. No more doling them out like presents to kids. WE OWN our rights. We are BORN with our rights.

Read them the 9th and the 10th amendments. Those amendments confirm what’s what. Powers are not rights. Rights are not powers. Federals are not States. States are not Federal.

Forget the headlines of distraction. They are pro’s at distraction. Create a crisis, offer a pre-designed solution is their motto.

What’s being overlooked is the fact that the EPA & regional water boards, both non-elected, both unconstitutional agencies, also admitted that STRAWBERRIES, orchards, your precious tomatoes and onions, your small veggie gardens, ALL your water sources, are also going to be busted just like your other Constitutional plant that is in question.
EPA =Federal government. EPA writes their own laws. Sessions enforces the law, the House of Representatives FUNDS the law.
See where this is headed? WAKE UP!
Read those guidelines. If you have a medical plant, you can only have x amount of other plants.
Robin Hood didn’t rob from the rich to give to the poor. He robbed from the tyrannical King to GIVE BACK to the robbed. That King also claimed ALL resources as his own. No hunting, no crops, no shelters, no coin, unless permitted by the King. He, too, called it “sustainable”.

Wow. The comments are all over the map! I thought there would be a more specific dialogue about Sessions desire.
A lawyer told me yesterday that Congress turned down his request for the funds, which would have been an interim authorization of the extended/old budget they still retain (since, apparently they can’t agree on a new budget). This holds until the next Federal budget is completed. So. Stay tuned!!!
