1. Sessions hints he's going to reverse course and start enforcing federal marijuana laws in states which have legalized recreational use.

2. Sessions rescinds memo, issued by Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, ordering the phase-out of privately owned "For-Profit" prisons in the federal system.

3. Sessions today, issued an order to the US Attorneys to re-intensify the "War on Drugs" and step up prosecutions and seek maximum penalties in the drug cases they do prosecute.


There it is, it's just a (short) matter of time, before this country is fully engaged in Drug War II, Electric Boogaloo! (and if you still think that he's not going to crack down on the "legal" pot sales, I think you'r sadly mistaken.)

They need to focus on opiods and meth those are the ones destroying and taking lives.

That means going hard after the cartels.

The opioids aren't coming from the cartels as much as they're coming from US Drug Companies.

Want an example?

Mingo County, West Virginia - In the town of Kermit (pop. 400) one pharmacy, one of two in the town, received some 4.5 MILLION Hydrocodone pills alone in 2015! (This does NOT include the other opioid based pills sold to that pharmacy and others in the area. BTW, Oxycodone pills are shipped to WV at a rate about 50% of the rate of hydrocodone pills. So it's reasonable to believe that those two pharmaceuticals alone would total about 6.75 Million doses to that ONE PHARMACY!)

Think about that one for a minute - that works out to roughly 11,250 doses of hydrocodone pills annually, or about 31 pills daily, for every man, woman and child in that town. Toss in the Oxy, and you're looking at around 16,875 doses annually or 46 opioid doses daily.

One would have to be really naive (to the point of sheer stupidity) to believe that the drug stores, the distributors and the manufacturers do NOT know that much of this demand is driven by illicit drug activity. But what do they care about the carnage they're creating, they're getting Rich Bich!

I didn't mean to imply that illicit drug dealing by pharmacists or drug companies should be ignored in any way but there is no doubt that the vast majority of heroin (cheaper than pills) and meth is being supplied by cartels.

Go after all of it.
 
The war on heroin and opiates needs to start with MDs that over prescribe pain pills. A large portion of heroin users are just folks that have come to realize it's a lot cheaper high than oxy.

With respect to the drug war I don't know why this surprises anyone. Trump has touted law and order and cozied up to Chris Christie early on who was all about shutting down legalization of Mary Jane.

This is an area where I just cannot seem to quit being an idealogue I guess. Federal drug laws are unconstitutional. End of story. It's an illegal form of prohibition. They need to be decriminalized on the federal level and states need to handle the issue.

Push the money saved from ending the DEA to states to focus on treatment and work out a bridge program for those agents to become state employees for those states that will require them, which they will. No state is going to end all enforcement.
