Nelson Peak is located just east of Avery, population 25, sandwiched between the St. Joe River and its north fork. The Milwaukee Railroad put Avery on the map in the early twentieth century by routing a railroad through Montana and down the North Fork St. Joe and St. Joe river valleys. The North Fork section is now a rail-to-trail called Route of the Hiawatha. From its beginning at the St. Joe River, the Nelson Ridge trail climbs the eastern flank of Nelson Peak, traverses the southeastern face below the peak, drops down the western side along Telichpah Creek and returns to the trailhead following the St. Joe North Fork. It is a National Recreation Trail.

From the trailhead near the St. Joe river, the path heads uphill towards Avery at a steady incline, covered with rubble and loose rocks, and lightly shaded by open fir forest. Soon the trail switchbacks and turns eastwards, while continuing to climb. This time of year, the trail is hemmed in by pretty wildflowers, among them wild roses and many kinds of fern. We encountered the "obligatory" carcass along this section of trail, but it proved to be far from the last one.
Shortly past the 1-mile mark the trail reaches the Nelson ridge with view towards the hamlet of Avery. The trail, a single-track of packed dirt now, then flattens out for a bit, and the wildflower galore continues, supplemented with beargrass at the higher elevations. Ground squirrels thrive here, judging by the burrows, which Naughty tried to dig up. The trail follows the ridge fairly closely, though dropping to one side or the other every so often, and is nicely cooled by a canopy of fir and pine.
Around 4 miles into the hike there is a well-shaded campsite in the woods, albeit dry. Shortly afterwards the trail moves away from the ridge and traverses Nelson Peak's east face. This is a very open area, likely from clear-cut logging, with sweeping views of the snow-capped Clearwater Mountains. You'll also see the checkerboard of logging on the opposite hillsides.
There are a couple of small brooks along this traverse, but come August these are likely dry. Around the 5-mile mark you'll come upon the intersection with Packsaddle Trail #26, which drops down to the St. Joe River Road in about 3 miles. There is a decent campsite just following the fork, but it is dry. Stay on the Nelson Ridge Trail, which will head upwards and regain the ridge in another mile or so. The ridge is covered with a dense pine forest that harbored a few patches of late snow at an elevation of around 5,800 feet. In the shadier sections these were about two feet deep and at some point even extended out so far that the trail could no longer be identified. To top it off, it started to snow very very lightly, but luckily it ended as soon as it started.
The walking is pleasant along this ridge, with frequent views to the east, where we saw billowing black clouds accumulate. Around the 7-mile mark you'll come to the fork with the Telichpah Creek trail. Striving for political correctness, the forest service renamed Squaw Creek into Telichpah Creek. Evidently, the local administrators didn't get the memo, for the signage still refers to the trail as Squaw Trail #196 and its end point as Squaw Creek Campground. The older USGS and USFS maps also refer to the trail and creek that way. Continuing on the Nelson Ridge trail will eventually get you up to Shefoot Mountain, and from there you could traverse the ridge on trail #189 to Big Dick Point, which, by the way, escaped the naming purge unscathed. From Big Dick you could take trail #501 (White Woman trail) back down to Telichpah Creek.
The likelihood of substantial remnants of snow on Shefoot Mountain at an elevation of 6,300 feet, coupled with the dark clouds over the Clearwater Mountains, convinced us to bypass the higher peaks in favor of Telichpah (aka Squaw) Creek trail #196. This trail plunges steeply downhill and has seen a fair bit of motorbike traffic (though none while we were out there), resulting in deep rutting in the topmost section. After the first switchback, the trail levels off and meets up with Telichpah Creek. This creek needs to be forded about six or seven times over the next few miles. The first crossing occurs around the 8-mile mark and is not really a problem as the creek is quite small this high up and there are plenty of logs to ease the endeavor.
Immediately after the crossing, the clouds above us burst and we got inundated for the next quarter hour with pea-sized hail. Hail and fordings aside, this creek-side walk is actually exceedingly pleasant, nicely forested and interspersed with occasional mountain meadows. Around the 10-mile mark, you'll meet up with (as in, cross) White Woman Creek. At this point, crossing the creeks requires wading, with Telichpah Creek about knee-deep. Shortly after crossing White Woman Creek you'll stumble upon the fork with White Woman Trail #501, which heads up to Big Dick Point in 2 miles. Continue on the Telichpah Creek trail instead and be treated to another creek crossing…
The forest gets a bit thicker now, with a few western red cedars tossed in for variety, but you can still make out the sheer cliff walls of Big Dick on the opposite side of the creek. The trail drops steadily, but not as fast as the creek, and just before the 11-mile mark the path switchbacks for a bit to get down to the creek level. There is a rustic bench there for the wary, and an even more welcome bridge across the creek for the wary-of-fordings (the Scribe's feet were soaked). The creek is fairly torrid at this stage, so the bridge is appreciated.
The trail continues high above the northern shore of Telichpah Creek and with the forest soon receding grand views into the St. Joe Mountains to the west open up. Over your shoulder you catch a glance at the sheer rock face of Big Dick. The trail then declines once again to the level of the creek, which needs to be crossed one more time, again via a bridge, and soon after you reach Telichpah Creek Campground (formerly Squaw Creek Campground), a car campground.
Bear left at the campground, traversing it, and take the dirt road paralleling the North Fork of the St. Joe on the eastern side (don't cross the North Fork). Cars and ATVs are allowed to use this road, but this is not likely as FR #456 on the other side of the North Fork is much wider and well-graded. We met neither vehicle nor people along this stretch. It parallels the river for about five miles, at first fairly closely, then rising up a bit for elevated views, especially when you look back towards the campground. To the left the road is bordered by a steep rock wall, dissected in places where tributaries carved out notches and entirely carpeted with dripping mosses in others.
The dirt road emerges onto the St. Joe River Road near the confluence of St. Joe and North Fork. From there it is less than a quarter mile on the St. Joe River Road back to the trailhead.
Enjoy this hike? Let us know in the comments below!
Not so great
- Trail is shared with motor bikes
Alternate Routes
- Continue on trail #186 to Shefoot Mountain, then take trail #189 to Big Dick Point and the White Woman trail (#501) down to the Telichpah Creek trail (#196). Or, continue on #189 from Big Dick all the way to FR 456 if you have a shuttle car.
- If you have 2 cars leave one at Telichpah (aka Squaw Creek) campground. This will shave off a good five miles

Open Your Homes to those in need
Airbnb has started an Open Homes program to provide free shelter for displaced residents and relief workers who have been deployed to help. Airbnb is asking hosts living near the affected area to open up their homes for free. The program has been expanded so residents of San Francisco, Berkeley, and Oakland can now sign up to host evacuees.
A Google docs page has also been created to help connect evacuees with people opening up their homes separate of a formal program.
pets and animals need help, too!
You can donate to local animal shelters, which are housing pets for people who were evacuated. Many shelters have a no-pets policy, which forces pet owners to find other options. Here are local shelters that can use donations:

text: I arrived in Monterosso, Cinque Terre with my Best of Europe group this weekend. The weather forecast was dismal but we arrived still hopeful that we would get some breaks from the predicted rain. As is my usual custom, and I think that of many colleagues, I took my group for dinner at the Belvedere Restaurant in Old Monterosso. This is my favorite meal on the tour - for several reasons. First, we've been underway for almost two weeks and everyone is starting to wear down. We've just finished with Venice, Florence, and Rome - the most intense 6 days of the tour - which adds to the fatigue. After a day's drive and a lovely stop in Massa Maritima, my favorite undiscovered hill town, we are REALLY ready for our vacation from our vacation. So when we settle in for dinner, everyone is ready to let their hair down. Then there is the fact that the wine flows freely. The laughter and good cheer increases steadily throughout the evening. And finally, the dinner - the Amphora - is unique, completely Ligurian, and a true culinary experience. The name comes from the clay jar in which the dish is prepared. The original amphore were the clay vessels used by the ancient Greeks to transport olive oil. Here at the Belvedere, they use them to slow cook an amazing seafood stew. The broth liberally features white wine, garlic, and tomatoes (and many secret ingredients and spices I'm sure) and contains all the local seafood: lobster, octopus, cuttlefish, prawns, whitefish, mussels, and clams. The flavors meld together while simmering for hours. When its time to serve, the show begins. A large, shallow bowl is placed on a serving table. The waiter arrives with the amphora, carrying it with oven mitts. The foil top is removed and steam billows forth. He carefully pours about half the broth into the bowl, then tips up the amphora, shaking out the seafood treasure remaining. Half lobsters, whole giant prawns, chunks of whitefish, and cuttlefish tumble out with clams and mussels still in the shells and jiggling tentacles of octopi. Its an impressive display which often elicits applause from my groups. To complete the sensual cycle, everything is tender and delicious. The servers bring out thick slabs of garlic toast to go with the seafood. Its an amazing feast. Perhaps I forgot to mention everyone gets a plate of trofie (local pasta) with pesto. Liguria is the birthplace of the delicious green goodness and it is always excellent here. And though we are stuffed to capacity, everyone finds room for some of the best tiramisu in Italy. Mama Mia!

I know. You just want it to be simple.
Today, I can make it simple for you.
You've got pain (somewhere) and the question running through your mind is, "Should I use heat or ice"?
ICE is for INJURIES. Use it for:
Modulating INFLAMMATION after muscle trauma - think sprained ankle or a 'corkie'
Any 'micro' muscle trauma - think big workout at the gym or beefy AFL players braving the Southern Ocean in July
And it's generally used during the first few days - think FIRST AID
Pain relief
Heat is for, well, HEATING. Use it for:
Tight muscles
Stress relief*
It's kind of like a cuddle - it's nice for the body and the mind
Pain relief
When the wrong choice can make it worse:
Heat is generally thought to increase blood supply to an area, so if you have a muscle that is inflamed e.g. pulled, torn, etc. then using heat might make it worse.
If you have a tight muscle and it's been that way for quite a long time (but nothing is injured or torn) then chances are you'll make yourself more uncomfortable using ice. It won't cause any damage but a neck in spasm is worse than a tight one.
When the wrong choice doesn't matter a bit:
And did you notice that pain relief is mentioned in both heat and ice. A 2010 study when either a heat or ice pack was given in addition to nurofen, both were deemed equally effective (in a very minor way).
So, if it's 40 degrees outside on a hot Melbourne summer day and you start using a heat pack and realise that it feels wrong (which it no doubt would). Switch and try the ice.
Garra et al. Heat or cold packs for neck and back strain: a randomized controlled trial of efficacy. Academic Emergency Medicine. 2010
* It's therapeutic effect is quite complex (like everything to do with the body and brain) but there is no additional benefit to understanding the neurophysiology behind heat and pain (well, not at the moment).

Another day, another dispute between indie labels and a streaming service. The latest furore has emerged after several news outlets reported on a leaked YouTube contract – Digital Music News has now published the document in full.
The argument is a complex one, with some pundits casting it as an over-reaction on the part of indies that should be grateful for the exposure, and others criticising YouTube and Google's heavy-handed approach as well as its obfuscatory terms.
Several issues have been raised around the contract, which has been sent out ahead of YouTube's planned launch of a subscription-based streaming service it hopes will compete with the likes of Spotify.
It is offering slightly lower rates than its rivals, but that isn't the main concern. Ultimately, the complaints centre around a lack of choice and a lack of balance.
A so-called 'negative most-favoured-nation clause' means that if majors such as Universal agree to a lower revenue rate further down the line – in exchange for an advance payment, or similar – indies will be railroaded into accepting the same percentage, without the benefits and without the profit margins to cover such a change.
Similarly, YouTube is not going to allow 'windowing' – the process whereby popular independent artists such as Adele put their music up for sale on iTunes or another platform before releasing it to streaming services, in order to enhance sales.
This also leads into concerns that the contract could make artists and labels put their full catalogue on to the new YouTube subscriber service, instead of picking and choosing certain albums as they do with other interactive streaming platforms; again, there's a lack of choice available and a certain heavy-handedness in the organisation's approach.
Finally, the suggestion that those who do not sign up could be removed from the current ad-revenue stream (although free to put their videos up as public users, of cou) has raised hackles. Many indies already feel that YouTube's model of only putting ads on certain videos (and even then, only doing this in certain regions) means they lose out on potential income.
By refusing to negotiate with the Merlin network and instead dealing with labels on an individual basis, YouTube has set out its stall; similarly, the companies that have refused to sign up are planning to discuss the contract with regulatory bodies in the US and with the European Commission on the continent.
The debate is likely to go on and on as indie labels adjust to the 'new normal' and the age of streaming. But could smaller-scale music producers look for an alternative to the monolithic, autocratic approach of YouTube?
At Clowdy, we believe in giving artists and labels choices, both in terms of what content they upload and how they choose to monetise it.
For beleaguered independent producers, this could be a major opportunity – after all, there are alternatives to Youtube.

Dogen instructed,
Many worldly people say, "I desire to practice the Way, but the world is in its last period (which is degenerate)1 and I have only inferior capabilities. I cannot endure the formal practice which accords with the dharma. I want to find an easier way which is suitable for me, make a connection [with the Buddha], and attain enlightenment in the next lifetime."
This is entirely wrong. Categorizing the three periods of time—the true Dharma, the semblance Dharma, and the last Dharma—is only a temporary expedient. Monks in the time of the Buddha were not necessarily outstanding. There were some who were incredibly despicable and inferior in capacity. Therefore, the Buddha established various kinds of precepts for the sake of evil and inferior people. Without exception, everyone is a vessel of the buddha-dharma. Never think that you are not a vessel. Only if you practice according to the teaching, will you gain realization without fail. Since you have a mind, you are able to distinguish good from evil. You have hands and feet, and therefore lack nothing for practicing gassho or walking. Therefore, in practicing the buddha-dharma, do not be concerned with whether you are capable or not. Living beings in the human world are all vessels (of the buddha-dharma). It would not be possible if you had been born as an animal or something else.
Students of the Way, never expect to practice tomorrow. You should practice following the Buddha only today and this moment.

We've all heard of "wine moms." But this is 2016. And this is Canada. So we have weed moms.
On Tuesday — the day most Canadian kids returned to school — a police officer in Saanich, BC pulled over a woman for allegedly speeding in a school zone.
The woman passed a field sobriety test and there were no kids in the car, so she was sent off with only a ticket for speeding.

Commonly-known probiotics work in a wide variety of ways to improve your overall health. They crowd out "bad" bacteria, break down toxins, help with digestion, and combine certain essential nutrients such as folic acid and vitamin K.
Foods such as yogurt and kefir are packed with probiotics. But are you maximizing your probiotics' potential? Just as athletes warm up before a game or race, your gut needs 'warming up' before it's ready to put probiotics to work. The answer? Prebiotics.
Prebiotics are defined as "food ingredients that induce the growth or activity of beneficial microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi." They are as important for your diet — and gut health — as probiotics, because they feed the flora that keep your digestive tract healthy.
Without their nourishment, the probiotics you're consuming won't work up to their potential.
Aside from fueling the growth of probiotic microorganisms, prebiotics offer a wealth of health benefits you might be missing out on.
When the bacteria in your gut "eats" prebiotics, they produce short-chain fatty acids, or SCFAs. These SCFAs sow a variety of health benefits that include:
Preventing intestinal hyperpermeability, or leaky gut — a condition that allows toxins, bacteria, undigested food particles, and other undesirable gut contents to enter the bloodstream and circulate to the rest of the body. A leaky gut can cause systemic inflammation. Because of this, the immune system may not protect the body as well as it should, leading to fatigue as well as joint and muscle aches. Digestion is also adversely affected, and people with leaky gut often complain of bloating, cramps, and diarrhea. SCFAs help strengthen the integrity of the intestinal wall, playing a key role in preventing leaky gut.
Reducing inflammation. SCFAs help with decreased inflammation throughout the body. By reducing inflammation, your gut and immune functions are better maintained.
Curbing cancer cells with the help of SCFAs. The SCFA butyrate has been found to slow the growth of cancer cells in the colon; another SCFA called acetate helps inhibit pathogenic organisms.
Supporting satiety. Who doesn't want the added benefit of weight loss when they're eating healthy? Increased SCFAs in the gut contribute to better satiety and weight loss, as well as an improved glucose metabolism.
To incorporate prebiotics into your diet, choose plant-based foods that contain prebiotic fibers such as asparagus, cabbage, garlic, Jerusalem artichokes, and onions. Unripe bananas, cashews, pistachios, lentils, and chickpeas are great prebiotic-packed foods, as well.
To maximize the power of prebiotics, be sure to pair them with probiotics. For example, start your day off with a dose of unripe bananas.
While perhaps a bit unappetizing on their own, unripe bananas can be blended in a smoothie with a nut butter and a probiotic like full-fat yogurt. Looking for a healthy snack? Try making homemade tzatziki dip. Chop up a couple cloves of garlic, your prebiotic fiber, and blend with probiotic-packed Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped dill and some lemon juice.
Incorporating prebiotics in your diet is not only easy–it's an easy way to improve your overall health, too. Paired with probiotics, prebiotics lay the groundwork for a healthy gut, brain, and immune system. Soon, you won't meal prep or plan without them.

Inside: Eating Prawn Sandwiches / Outside: Chanting about "Murderers"
One of my oldest friends' parents have season tickets for United and his parents opted against seeing United play Liverpool in the Europa league. Liverpool won the first leg 2-0, so it would be a fairly historical evening for United to get through. And this United team are far from a historically good side. Still though, a tonne of positives to take 2 days off, meeting up with some old friends, have a few drinks and watch some football.
Plenty and plenty of positives.
I got the Virgin train up. It was a bit of a steal also. Only about 55 quid return. I was going up on a Thursday and back on the Friday, so I was avoiding the main rush. It was not as relaxing as I was hoping it be, there was some stress;
If I could give any advice to people, I would recommend getting more long train journeys. There is something incredibly peaceful and enjoyable about sitting on a train with a coffee or a beer and a good book or your laptop. I love typing on a train. For whatever reason, I love writing while on the train. By train I mean big proper trains, not the train from Ashtown to Leixlip. I manage to get a load of work done be it for my day job or my website. Productivity overload. All my 2016 holidays look already planned but I think in 2017, I am going to just hop on the train from London to Paris and just train around Europe for a few weeks. I can begin my book;
"Do Tigers Roar? Do Giants Cry? The Chronicles of the Dance Floor."
Anyway, so I arrived up in Manchester and met my pals, Joey and Neil. It was great to see them. I am very lucky to have a wide group of friends, but there is something different when you hang out with your oldest pals. We do not know as much about each other as we used to but the same old in jokes are always there and we would spend hours talking about different things that were relevant back then. Neil's parents have VIP suite season tickets, which was the best.
We walked into the VIP suite and Neil (who is a few months older than me) was asked for ID while being searched. When it came my time to be searched, I was not asked for ID. The VIP suite is an odd place. Don't get my wrong, it is great, but it is weird. Essentially, it is a big room with plenty of tables. As we entered, we were handed some champagne and ushered to our seats. This is slightly different to my experiences of Dalymount, watching Bohs. I opted for the lentil soup with a meat pie. It was phenomenal. As I was finishing my second pint and waiting for my second course, I figured, that this is not a bad way to watch a football match. When GOD16 (Roy Keane) would complain about the "prawn sandwich brigade", I would always agree with him. But now, I feel Roy should maybe opt for the pie instead of the prawn next time.
I may have missed the natural phenomenon of the Northern Lights in Iceland (I was busy dancing in a Gay Bar, obviously), but I managed to witness a different kind of phenomenon, the ex-pro dinner chat. In the hallowed VIP section, an ex-pro will walk around and chat to people. As they eat. So, as you are tearing your pie to pieces, you will have some chap telling you about the time that he took a foul throw against Charlton Athletic. I wonder how they feel about it? Being St. Patrick's Day, we had two ex-Irish international players, Gerry Daley and Frank Stapleton. I must admit, they did not particularly excite me. I am sure they were both super players but well before my time. I was aware of Frank Stapleton but more so for his character on Apres Match. Gerry Daley & Frank Stapleton must have been used to playing in front of thousands of adoring fans and scoring big goals for United, but now they spend their evenings chatting to a bunch of tossers. I know that may be harsh but we were all a bunch of tossers guzzling down as many free pints as possible. One of my friends, Joey, was wearing a Deadpool T-shirt and is a Liverpool fan. United legends surely deserve better. It is tinged with a layer of tragedy but I say this not knowing how much money they get paid to do it. Also, they probably love it. I assume it is great for people to ask you about your accomplishments and talk football. And get paid for it. We avoided them as we felt too awkward, and we were also trying to piece together a strategy that will allow us to get additional free pies.
I could not keep my eyes off the ex-pros as they made their way around table to table. Having idle small talk. How does the conversation start? Do they ask you about your food? Do they jump right in with a reference;
"That chicken reminds me of the FA Cup semi final in 1972 against Arsenal.....tough"
Do they pretend to care about our insignificant lives? If I played for Ireland, I wouldn't care how your flight to Manchester was or that your wife is pregnant and always moaning. Also, this is all happening during dinner. How awkward. Talking to someone who is standing over your table does not lend itself to a natural conversation flow. I will also, almost definitely, spill gravy on myself. These United legends deserve better.
Our seats were brilliant. Such a good view of the pitch. Despite the team being brutal and managed by a horrendous chancer, the atmosphere was great and we were beginning to believe. The game started great, from a United point of view. Watching a game in the flesh is such a different experience then watching it on TV. You see so much and can really appreciate how bloody good some of these footballers are. Unfortunately, when you play poorly in the flesh, it also looks a million times worse. United's Uruguayan right back, Varela had an absolute shocker. Seeing Anthony Martial in the flesh was a real experience. The chap is pure class. Martial has obviously been great this season but when he see his movement off the ball and how often he takes on his defender, it is a joy. Anthony Martial also scored the first goal with a penalty.
The stadium began to rock. The comeback was on. United began to dominate and created some really super chances. It was enjoyable to watch United actually play enjoyable football as this season has been very grim at times. Seeing a United in full flight in person is truly a joy. Now, United were far from the Ferguson era but they were passing the ball forward. Beggars can't be choosers.
The sucker punch came just on the stroke at half time. Countinho scored a lovely little goal with seconds left in the half. Gutting. United now needed another 3 goals to go through. Even for the most optimistic of supporters, that would have been a stretch. Thankfully, I had a fresh pint os Singha waiting at my table inside at half time. It eased the pain. The atmosphere in the suite was very different. Very quiet and solemn. I had a feeling that everyone in the suite was feeling and thinking the same as me;
"Ah, that sucks that we are going out. But free food and booze is great fun!"
Frank Stapleton walked around and chatted with a few punters. I think I saw him shrug his shoulders more than 10 times. We downed the rest of our pints and headed out for the second half. The atmosphere was completely different. The away supporters were singing louder or appeared much louder as Old Trafford sat in silence. It is a bit disappointing that it was so quiet as I remember anytime United were struggling under Fergie, the place would still rock but a very different team now. And the tie was completely dead. There were a few half chances throughout the second half but nothing much.
The atmosphere was beginning to get quite nasty. There are some genuine chants that I heard that made me feel uncomfortable. Football fans are so weird. Grown men screaming at each other. Grown men holding up signs. Do these people sit at home the night before, on the ground, and create these posters?
"What is Dad doing?"
"He is working on his Louis van Gaal Out poster, dear."
I am unsure if you heard about it but United fans presented a "Murderers" banner over a bridge for Liverpool fans to see upon their arrival into Manchester. I do not see the "Banter" or funny side of this at all. I am sure Liverpool fans are just as bad with the Munich song but the whole thing is so classless. There was a guy behind me, who was wearing a suit, and before the game gave off the impression that he was a normal upstanding citizen. However, throughout the game he was screaming curse words at the "Scouse Scum". There did not seem to be an ounce of "banter" in his voice, just pure hatred. It was quite pathetic really. The whole thing was pathetic, apparently hating a group of people because they support a different team in red AND United had no bloody chance in getting through the tie anyway.
The full time whistle blew and United whimpered out of another tournament. Thankfully, another fresh pint of Singha was waiting for me inside to ease the pain. Despite it being a poor performance and an exit out of the tournament, it was a really enjoyable evening with some old pals. My actual friends. This current Manchester United team are no friends of mine. We began to sink a few more Singha's as we were supplied a post game pie, for some reason. At this point, I am fit to burst. I just cannot refuse free food and alcohol. Being Irish, and classy, on our way out, we grabbed a few pies from some other tables for our breakfast. It was incredibly optimistic to think that we would wait for the morning to consume more free food.

US Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Thursday that he is rescinding the Cole memo, an Obama-era Department of Justice guideline that set a policy of federal noninterference with state-legal cannabis. While the move itself doesn't trigger any immediate legal action, it's a sign that the federal prosecutors may intend to ramp up legal actions against cannabis businesses in legal states.
We've tried to answer a few of the most common questions about what Sessions' move might mean. Do you have others? Let us know in the comments. We'll be updating this page as the situation develops.
Does This Mean the End of Legal Cannabis?
No. Take a deep breath. The sky is not falling. Sessions' action today rescinds a Department of Justice policy guideline, not a law. Essentially, the move tells federal prosecutors across the country that DOJ no longer officially opposes them interfering with legal cannabis.
Worrisome? Absolutely. The end of legalization? Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
In Oakland, Harborside co-founder Steve DeAngelo, who in 2016 successfully fended off a yearslong federal enforcement action, said he sees Sessions' move as a way to slow what's been a rapid rollout of legal cannabis. "I don't think this is a big deal," he told Leafly. "I think this is an attempt to suppress the growth of the industry, not to kill us. It is more of a delaying tactic than a knife to our throat."
What Happens Next?
Most likely, nothing will happen immediately. While undoing the Cole memo opens the door to federal interference with state-legal cannabis programs, Sessions' move itself doesn't trigger any legal action.
If there is any sort of crackdown, the first actions would likely come from individual US attorneys, who oversee federal prosecutions in their respective jurisdictions. Their offices could file civil or criminal actions against state-legal cannabis businesses (or their landlords) in an effort to shutter the businesses.
Why Is Sessions Doing This?
It's no secret that the attorney general is opposed to cannabis. He's derided its use in medical treatment and said that "good people don't smoke marijuana." He's claimed that cannabis could make the national opioid epidemic worse despite evidence that opioid use actually decreases in legal states. But for the past year or so, Sessions has been more talk than action.
Part of the motivation behind his decision to rescind the Cole memo on Thursday could be to chill cannabis activity in state-legal markets. Sessions has formally criticized programs in adult-use states, yet legalization keeps stubbornly spreading, fueled by broad public support from liberals and conservatives alike. Las Vegas launched legal adult-use sales in July, and California opened adult-use retail stores to significant fanfare on New Year's Day. Sessions may be trying to steal those states' thunder.
Are There Other Federal Protections?
For now, yes, but not many. The Rohrabacher–Blumenaur amendment, a provision included in a federal spending bill, currently prevents the Justice Department from spending resources to prosecute state-legal medical marijuana. But the measure doesn't offer any cover for adult-use cannabis, and it's only in place until later this month; Congress will need to renew that protection for it to continue. It's possible, however, that Sessions' reversal of the Cole memo could actually encourage congressional representatives to take further action to safeguard state-legal cannabis.
What Can Be Done?
After last year, you're tired of hearing this, but: Call your representatives in Congress! Tell them to support measures that protect states' rights to regulate cannabis as they see fit. Encourage them to support renewing the Rohrabacher–Blumenauer amendment—and while you're at it, tell them to expand its protections to adult-use cannabis. While federal legalization remains a controversial issue for many politicians to get behind, there's significant public support for leaving regulation to the states.
Contact information for members of the Senate and House of Representatives is available online.
Do State Officials Have to Hand Over Licensing Records?
Good question. Names of state-licensed cannabis companies, locations, and principal owners are already matters of public record. See: California's Cannabis Control Bureau website. Any federal DEA agent can see the information just as easily as you or I can.
Leafly's Peter Hecht put the question to San Francisco cannabis attorney Matt Kumin. Kumin said the Justice Department can indeed take advantage of public information on cannabis businesses, including licensing information, and can be expected to subpoena state tax and sales records on individual cannabis businesses, which are not public.
"They may try that," Kumin said. "You will likely see something like that end up in a court battle—because I don't think California will cooperate with a subpoena. This is the United States of California vs. the United States of America…I think California is well down the road in opposition to federal policies here."
Does This Affect Banking?
No, not directly. The US Treasury Department's 2014 policy guidance on banks and credit unions that do business with cannabis-related companies remains unaffected by today's Justice Department move, as far as we can tell. That guidance can be found here.
Leafly's Cannabist Capitalist columnist, Alan Brochstein, reminded us this afternoon that the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), which issued the guidance to banks, is part of the Treasury Department, not the Justice Department. Jeff Sessions has no say in Treasury policy.
Although the FinCEN guidelines remain in place, today's move by the Justice Department will undoubtedly cause some financial institutions to take a hard look at their current politics and relationships with cannabis-related companies.
As of July 2017, FinCEN reported that 296 banks and 94 credit unions were providing banking services to marijuana-related businesses:

My friend told me Sessions has investments in the private prison industry. Legalizing cannabis would put a huge dent in profits. Anyone know if he is in fact connected to the private prison industry?
Sonny Cole
yes he does .i looked it up on the computer,i found out he makes around $1,200 a year from his investment.he spends that much a year on ties.he makes very little money, the same as anyone else who has invested the same as he does.
Yeah, but how much does the private prison racket give to Sessions for his nefarious political purposes?
Guy Foster
in a few seconds
His advisor Dupont has investment in UA drug screening and wants to screen all Americans as part of healthcare forcing lot smokers into rehab against their will. Crazy . Google "seessions advisor drug test"
Illegal search and seizure.The fourth amendment of the constitution of the united states.
It's not just direct income, it's also a lot of issues such as monetary help getting elected, lobbying for positions in government, etc. That's where most of these ant-American firms invest their money.
RIGHT NOW he makes little in the investment…. Because it's public record and would look really bad helping his bottom line through his position. But I guarantee that he's waiting for the big money for after he leaves office. THAT'S when the real payoff comes. He'll be on Boards of Directors, pulling a fat salary for doing nothing, plus stock options. Same companies will be paying huge "speakers fees", plus traveling expenses for 10-15 minute "speeches". He's playing the long game ,like every other senator and congressman who retires a multi-millionaire.
Guy Foster
His advisor Dupont has investment in UA drug screening and wants to screen all Americans as part of healthcare forcing lot smokers into rehab against their will. Crazy . Google "seessions advisor drug test"
Dr. Dupont is an out of step pill pusher way way past his expiration date.
Mo Jo
He has worked as an advisor and on the Board of three For Profit Prison companies. The FPP's comprise a major share of his donations. This incest is why his constituents rejected him as a Federal Judge – because he is tainted goods with his own personal business agenda,. This is precisely why the Feds are now building more prisons to house illegal aliens that they previously deported – the more bodies Sessions can put in jail, the more $$$ he makes on the back-end.
Excuse me
Apparently, legalizing cannabis would not put a huge dent in profits. In 2012, less than one percent of all incarcerations in the US were for possession. That was quoted from Marijuana Legalization: What Everyone Needs to Know. That was prior to any recreational legalization.
Incarcerations are just the tip of the iceberg, there are probation costs and forced rehabs and anything they can think of to make it more onerous. Also loss of drivers licenses and housing, schooling,jobs. They have it so screwed up they are just adding strength to criminal empires because that is the only way convicts can get by. The unjust removal of basically all of your rights.
Push for legalization and removal of convictions and wiping the records clean of any drug arrests..
Rumor has it that he is being paid off by the pharmaceutical industry.
Paul Revere
the article portends to say that the feds have power. I don't see that. States and voters are at stake here.Any right not enumerated to the federal government falls to the states. the federal anti-cannabis laws will probably be defensed by the 10th amendment in some way. the showdown should've happened decades ago. But now we have to fight amendment by amendment
The Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution unfortunately says that federal law TRUMPS state law…
Only in inter state commerce. intrastate commerce is out of the feds jurisdiction.
It would be nice if the Constitution were not being obfuscated by so many; most of them lawyers. Read it with your heart as well as your mind, next time; remember what you felt in the 8th grade, upon reading such beautiful words; flawed, (3/5 of a person?) but none better. The Constitution and Bill of Rights are the words of foundation of the great idea called America. Don't let them fade away…stand, resist, vote…run for something.
Sessions needs to go; he's still in the dark ages. Even obozo opposed federal interference form the states. If Sessions tries this stunt it should easily back fire on him and force the federal government to legalize it nationwide. Right now, its use, even where legal is only available to the rich or those that starve to afford it. Insurance will pay for all the pain pills Doctors want to write but will not pay for a natural way to ease pain. it's the most ridiculous thing in the world. Washington has their heads so far up their cabooses, I doubt they ever know what light is.
Or how about we call our congressman and start a movement to make alcohol illegal again because of all the devastation it has caused for centuries as a highly addictive drug…..right? But what is really happening here is he is providing all the legal states to get extremely clear about how they are handling the transition to cannabis in those states. The illegal market is 'supposedly' alive and well. The Emerald Triangle of Northern CA is trashing ecosystems. Perhaps the feds can help clean that mess up.
And perhaps all the, soon to be out of work DEA ass clowns, can go to work on the border, North or South, don't care just send them somewhere where they can't do any more harm.
Henry DeFeo Sr
If he is doing this to make money from the prison system, he should be arrested and tried! We the People voted yes for medical cannabis, not we the goverment! I was hit head on by a DRUNK driver and been taking pills since 88, 9 surgeries and canabis will help get me free from addiction!
Karol Hudson
Yes: I do believe Trump has a mental problem, having
appointed Session to be the Attorney General ???
Please, Trump is not mental, yes a mistake was made to install "little" Jeffy but Trump isn't crazy.
Trump is a horrible person, whether mentally ill or not. Go read up on his history, if you don't believe it.
Ed Sargent
I bet there are some horrible in you too ! But as I see it Trump don't like Sessions and I predict he will be fired this year.
Perhaps I have some horrible characteristics, like everyone else, but most of us didn't actively keep African Americans from residing in our buildings, or praise Nazis and the KKK (btw, Sessions loves the KKK; racist all his life), or sign tax laws that are going to increase the deficit by $1.5 trillion while destroying the ability for the poor and lower middle class to have health care. That's all on Trump. I'm still looking for a redeeming characteristic in him and not finding it. However, like you, I absolutely agree that Sessions was a horrible choice from the beginning and needs to be dumped.
Yes; don't forget Sessions quote: "I liked the KKK until I found out they smoked pot."
P.J. Rafter
He's a crook and should be left in jail to rot, along with Sessions!
Karol, Ummm, yes, he is…as noted by thousands of therapists, and clearly by his own words and lack of a touch in reality. Yes, it isn't illegal to support a crazy person for president in this country; thank God we live in America, eh?
Ed Sargent
Sure does sound like you have been duped by the democrat socialist party, Surely you are talking about the worst kidnapping of America by Obama and Hillary right? You can pile up all the crap you want on Trump, but it will never come close to the damage obozo the slime ball has done. yeah, you can go around and find thousands of liberal therapists saying Trump is unstable, but millions know obozo was not even eligible to be president and was a muslim trying to destroy America !!!! Why does someone have to hide and seal all history of his birth certificate and college records? And the democrat party puts a piece of dog shit up there for their nomination? Thats when I stopped being a democrat, nor republican. Trump not being a politician is a good change for out country, Your voted politicians have been ripping you off blind for years. And thank your God or whatever belief you are that Hillary didn't become president because she would have sold us out drastically.
Lee Butcher
Trump and Clinton are both pathological liars, and self serving megalomaniacs. I voted for Bernie Sanders. One thing I have to wonder about anyone who voted for Trump (anyone who is pro-cannabis, such as we on this forum) is the logic of supporting a man who believes ALL recreational drugs are wrong, spent his adult life teaching his kids are bad (along with drinking), is WHY?? And why are you even on this forum if you hate the democrats so bad, since they are the one's who are not opposed to cannabis. This is the last place I would expect to find Trump trolls stirring the pot. You must be getting paid, or have nothing better to do. Anyone who would vote for the silver-spooned brat has been duped, and they don't even know it.
Excuse me
All spewing aside, the recent initiatives legalizing cannabis were bipartisan. Divisive rhetoric does no good, except to consolidate power into the hands of an ever growing bureaucracy. As a conservative libertarian, I view the criminalization of cannabis an inefficiency, and a limitation of liberty. But I feel the same way about the underlying platform of the Democratic Party as well. After Trump said we need better control of refugee immigration, it was like a breath of fresh air. When he questioned our spending with the UN and Nato compared to all other nations, and our trade deals, it made sense. If you're reading everything that comes from the media with their noses up Obama and Pelosi's rear-ends, you will get no real politik–just party line. Trump actually has expressed a mostly laissez faire view about weed from my readings.
Even if he was against it totally, time and tide are against an anti-cannabis position. Congress will probably present bipartisan support to end the regulatory charade.

In his "opioid crisis" speech, Mr. Trump said :"I never drank or smoked…I did a lot of bad things, but…" Did I hear him admit to say, coke use? Did anyone else note that? WTF?
Hillary and Obama were war mongering liars, too; I know. I also Face Booked that Trump actually looked like there may be a human being sitting in his chair. I am not duped by anybody. I don't disagree with you re: the rest of your beliefs. Hillary was a war monger in a skirt, and a thief. (are you aware of the 2 kids murdered in Arkansas?) Politics is a criminal business, and Bernie is no traditional pol either. Trump not being a politician, yeah; good for our country in that people will stand against his insanity. I don't pile any crap on Mr. Trump. He is his own pile. Really, I do hear you, and I don't disagree. I have looked a bit further into what is happening. A lot further. Plain and simple. Don't believe everything you think.
Excuse me
He looked quite in charge in the televised meeting with members of Congress yesterday. Pelosi et al, meanwhile looked like angry children who are being asked share their cookie when he proposed a bi-partisan fix to this DACA mess that Obama got the country in. William. perhaps you might look at more than the leftist networks to obtain your impressions of the current political climate.
I'm retired, and read about 2-3 books a week. And catch everything from FOX to Democracy Now. DACA mess? Try Sam Huntington, "Clash of Civilizations" or "Dereliction of Duty" by McMaster. If you read at all. Don't rely on networks for your thought. Trump isn't even in charge of his own people; one meeting at a table full of bought and paid for politicians…Yep, he looked like there might be a human being sitting in his chair; I said so on FB just after watching the moments shown on corporatocracy media. Quite.
Excuse me
DACA mess? It remains to be addresses properly–700,000 votes for the Democratic party is what Pelosi hopes for. Its power, not compassion. If those dreamers were conservatives, She would be demanding a wall. But what we face from waves of immigrants can be read by otherwise stifled journalists on Gatestone.org. Which underlines Huntington. After that, Try America Alone, by Mark Steyn, for a few facts and a few laughs–he also supports Huntington. Far before Huntington wrote Clash, it was well demarcated what America faces, in How Democracies Perish, by Jean-François Revel, (Early 80s) and his later work Anti-Americanism, in 2003, which illustrated the enabling of the clash by modern liberalism.
Security advisor Walid Pheres makes a clear case in Future Jihad: Terrorist Strategies Against America.
In short, Trump proposes an end to chain migration and a merit system. Its not about racism, and as long as he accomplishes half of his promises, he's doing fine steering the ship. The people who hate him are at risk of losing funds they have been stealing from the taxpayer.
While I haven't ready McMaster, I have a practice to run, children in graduate school, and your Social Security to pay, so my reading list is currently truncated.
Excuse me
Golly, you must be really smart. Books? Wow. But seriously folks…

Yeah, they're like those paper things with like, really good words. Sammy Huntington was a very smart really scared white guy. Sound familiar? Which one of you is the excuse?
Drumpf is flipping NUTS! #orangenuts

very simple/ Congress must remove cannabis from schedule I. They put it in schedule ! with no good reason/ by definition a schedule I substance has no medical use in the United States. The majority of the states and people say it does have medical use. Congress must do the will of the people or be replaced. This is a defining issue of the day.
Exactly. That has been the core issue all along. To continue to compare cannabis to opium, heroin, etc. is just insane and uneducated. It's like being 40 and still believing in monsters under your bed (unless of course you're in a Charter Spectrum commercial…then it's OK).
They are the enemy of the people if you haven't figured it out yet. I mean you have to do research to understand the Federal government located in the District of Columbia is really operating in reality as a for-profit corporation listed under Dunn & Bradstreet as United States of America (not for America as was intended by founding fathers). Everything to them is about money, not human health or anything else. That's why they are killing us slowly in so many ways. The District Columbia Organic Act of 1871 was created after the Civil War that America went bankrupt having to take out bank loans. The bankers forced America into their terms to become a corporation under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and Admiralty law.
The Constitution really takes a back seat to the way our government works today, they create an illusion of following it but clearly do not. When new congressman enter into their new positions they are briefed of these facts. The D.C. is country unto itself, they just use us as slaves and intend on killing us off one day. That is why they have been slow killing us through Monsanto poisoning our food with Round-up and corrupting our crops. They want extinction on the planet and are killing off the natural world. They plan on killing off billions of people working with Zionist Israel especially (who hate Goyim).
Our Federal government isn't for us, they are the enemy of the American people. They will unmask themselves who they actually are when they're ready. Their goal will be terminating much of humanity under Artificial Intelligent bots, etc. They are a criminal cartel, not a legitimate government, FYI. No morality, hard, cold cruel tyranny's coming from greedy money grubbing souless demon possessed child trafficking sick twisted men and women from the dark side.
Excuse me
Well, you were sounding oriented to reality until you accuse "Zionist Israel" of plotting extinction of the human race. You apparently need anxiolytics and/or anti-psychosis meds.
Ed Sargent
He is right about the establishment of corrupt America though. You don't have the freedoms you think you do, it's all a smoke screen. And the freedoms you do have are ones taken away from you by American Government and sold back to you as a form of a license. Songchannels is right ! America is full of greedy scumbags screwing over fellow Americans, they are known as politicians.
john smith
There's a lot of truth in what you say. But the Zionist Israel thing – hmm. need some references.
Rant much?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Ed Sargent
It takes congress years to make decisions, they are all old dinosaurs that all can't get along and screwing America over every day !
I wouldn't put it past Sessions to wait until a lot of cash is being made in CA and then order the DEA to seize all of these Marijuana companies assets and split it amongst themselves (as "working" funds for various drug enforcement programs)
Yep…they've done it in small raids in Ca. They confiscate all the products, houses AND vehicles and use them to bust more shops.
Laura Sorensen
I am another patient that was given generous amount of pain medicine. After I filled the RX I would fine a way to get rid of them before I got home. The side effects of the pain RX were ridiculous. I also use water therapy for more relief from chronic pain. I vote to change the schedule 1 status too.
Carl Vollbracht Jr.
Scares me yall. I was ran over by a train as a baby. 9 months old. Tore my legs from me. The only thing that stips my horrible nerve pain is med cannabis. Methadone didnt work oxy made me a zombie. Morphine didnt help nothing but Gods medicine. It does what pills cant….
Scooter Bell
Thanks for stayin' strong, Carl. Hope med cannabis continues to help!
And for the hundreds of thousands of us for whom "the other flower" (Opioid) does work, let us have it. The combination of flowers, cannabis and poppy, is highly efficacious. Don't demonize one flower in support of the other. All health and good life to all…
Cannabis and opiates potentiate each other so less of the opiate is needed for relief, thereby reducing over doses.
Plants not pills!!! #cannabiscures #cannabisSAVESlives #kratomsaves #poppiesKILL
Ogden Ross
We all know that J Edgar Hoover wrote in the the thirties a treatise of laws against marijuana. He hated the free wheeling life styles of the radical left intellectuals who frequented jazz bars and hung out in artistic communities. Sessions has the exact same MO. He does not believe in personal rights or freedom of expression. Perhaps, like Hoover he has repressed desires for his own sexual inhibitions. Hoover was a closet gay after all. Could it be that Trump and Sessions have a special relationship? Moreover, the Republicans have committed a heresy by treading on states rights. New Hampshire's famous motto comes to mind,"Don't Tread on Me." as directed towards the Federal government. This will work against their re-election next term. Frankly, Obama while he had the agenda should have dropped cannabis from schedule 1 but he must have been brow beaten by some dark element within the government not to yield too much. Perhaps, Sessions will issue more affirmative guidelines by removing this particular set. Primarily, this will doom the republican party and the opposition better do a better job of unseating incumbents in the next elections. The extreme Right Wing of the Southern Dixicrats who always were fascists historically from which derives Sessions must be absolved of duty and this may mean the impeachment of Trump as a means to an end. His country clubs netted him $150 million last year in operations and he played golf 78 days of his administration.
I agree with Sessions being some kinda closeted something, but Trump likes his female tail. As far as impeachment, even if Trump was impeached he doesn't have to step down or abdicate his position. Clinton was impeached…didn't step down. As far as Trump making money, he's allowed. Even though HE ACCEPTS NO SALARY AS PRESIDENT. (He and George Washington are the only in history to turn down the pay.) His businesses are being run by others and he's not allowed to even give advice…and doesn't. Else the media and Antifa pussies would be screaming to the world. Now…Obama was worth less than 1 million when he got into office. Now he's worth over 20 million…(that we know about.) How did that happen? If he spent NOTHING of his own money while pretending to be a president, he'd still only be worth a little over 3 million. Soooo…if you want to talk corruption…let's look at Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, as they are all worth more than their salaries would dictate.
Let's make this about cannabis.
Scooter Bell
Agreed – already enough politics crowding out cannabis.
Gotta say, at some point you gotta realize it's all connected…
Yep; check out "Chasing the Scream" by Johann Hari; Anslinger was directly involved in murdering Billlie Hiliday. He was best friends with Joe McCarthy, who was an alcoholic heroin addict, and Anslinger set up McCarhty's heroin suppliers, a pharmacy in D.C. And Anslinger mentored Joe Arpaio. Marijuana was commonly used by Mexicans, and heroin was used, as noted by Mr. Ross, by the counter culture of color; jazz players in particular. The drug war has nothing to do with drugs. "We knew the drug war wasn't about drugs. The counter culture and Blacks scared us." H.R. Haldeman, Nixon's right hand man.
Eugene Harrison
Allot of people are against marijuana until they or someone in their family who could benefit from the plant their condemning.
Like retiring Utah Senator O. Hatch.
I suffer from a very painful autoimmune disorder… I used to say I wouldn't wish it on anybody. But now I see these despicable people using government power to limit people like me from accessing a safer alternative and I do wish they could experience it. One of the drugs used to "treat" it is also used for chemotherapy, so I also understand the compassionate reason to make cannabis available for cancer patients. Maybe Jeffy should watch a loved one wasting away and in constant excruciating pain to get little "perspective".
Mo Jo
Won't bail you out but he is constitutionally bound to defend the State law using every legal means at his disposal. Which is why Sessions dropped this hammer on Jan 4th – three days after Rec-Legal CA. In short, Sessions knows there will be a State vs Fed battle led by CA and he wanted to limit the massive taxes that CA is about to collect and allocate for their legal Warchest that is AT LEAST as big as the entire DOJ budget.
Paul Sorensen
This is the message I sent to my Congressman in Oregon:
'Congressman Schrader
I urge you to join your colleagues in strongly denouncing AG Sessions revocation of The Cole Memo. Oregonians have clearly stated their desire to allow legal marijuana for recreational and medical use. I recommend a full throated denunciation of Sessions'
Please make this an opportunity to propose legislation to reschedule or legalize cannabis at the Federal level.
Marijuana has clearly become an important part of Oregon's economy. Tell AG Sessions that Oregon will protect it's rights.
Thank you
Paul J Sorensen'
Lynda Delucas
Hey I sent something similar along with call my Us senator Bob Casey to protect cannibas state rights! Maybe they will come up with something to pass as an emergency bill to protect the states with cannibas laws'
Bob Carter
American cannabis is not our fight, Canadian patients spent 6 years in court and won our
right to grow our own medically, I suggest Americans run home and do the
same as as US investors invested in Canadian cannabis companies are
greedy fuc's that are profiting off of sick Canadians, off a substance
that it is illegal for you to profit from, I am hoping Sessions will
arrest and seize US assets being laundered from Canada's public
healthcare system, F you all .
Scooter Bell
Congrats on winning the right to grow, very cool. The current US map shows 6 out of 50 states allowing some indoor growth( https://www.marijuana.com/news/2016/11/where-can-you-grow-marijuana-legally-in-the-united-states/ ). Washington state also has a bill that would allow indoor growth as well. Heard a lot of good things about Canada's healthcare system, sorry you feel ripped off. Have a great day!
You fail to mention the # of your fellow Canadians also making $$ off of Canadian corporations involved with cannabis. Stop being a hypocrite and get off your soap box.
He;yy y'all

Because people need to buy marijuana (and apparently you sell heroin also) from some random person on the internet….
Ed Sargent
Sessions will be fired next year. Trump does not like him, Trump thinks Comey, Clintons, Ovomits have raped America dry for 8 years and Trump thinks Sessions should have already have indictments on all of them. Trump knows the medicinal properties of pot and this probably irks Trump off that Sessions is dragging his feet on what is more important for the country — The Damage done To America the last 8 years by a corrupt, illegal government under ovomit and Killary , more than ever out weigh the minimal damage pot has done in it's entire history.
Who just gave corporate america a large tax break? That didn't need it? And you talk about raping America. You sir are clueless.
bonnie king
I worked in the medical industry. Administrative position. There were so many people that needed a solution to their medical problems and cannabus was the best solution. The doctor was forbidden to even mention using the alternative medicine. Instead he was able to prescribe what was thought to be better and safer, the wonderful meds from big pharma. The addictive ones. Now we have major control by the feds over the so called safer drugs because of addiction and deaths. The "control" has caused a huge increase in the use of heroin. More addiction and deaths. When cannabis was made legal the medical industry was still unable to mention to the patients anything concerning its use as a safer alternative to the dangerous drugs that are considered legal and distributed by big pharma. Whose pocket do you think secessions is in. Big pharma could very well save everybody and start distributing "the safely tested and regulated" medicine, cannabis. The money involved is too good for them to pass up. I am 70 years old and simply can't sleep. Until I got my "medical card" from some doctor on a computer in a back office, I hadn't had a full nights sleep in a long time. It was heaven to be able to just lie in bed and fall asleep. Sorry about the mini thesis, I have been wanting to say this ever sense this nonsense started. We need to establish our own choices concerning what we know to be best for us.
I'm 67, and I have to ask, please don't demonize one flower for another. Opioid works for hundreds of thousands of us. I have to wonder, who has the juice to suppress legal opioid, an ancient medicine given to Jesus on the cross, while flooding the country with cheap potent heroin? Do you believe that is a coincidence?
Lynda Delucas
Please give me some kind of proof that Jesus was given drugs on the cross or during His life. I don't see it in the Bible at all! They gave Him bitter wine.
The sponge was vinegar in smell; acetylation (vinegar) of opium produces a stronger opioid; diacetylmorphine (morphine alkaloid is the major alkaloid in opium). Widely accepted; Google it…all respect and love,
Lynda Delucas
I think bitter wine was pretty much the same thing. 👍 lol
Sessions sounds like a communist demorat bleeding heart muslim liberal ass to me and didn't Trump appoint him?
Your reasoning is a bit skewed.
Couchspud 12
Curious to know if this will have any affect on medical marijuana. Arkansas medical marijuana dispensaries are supposed to open this summer.
Lynda Delucas
Same here in PA! The dr giving me a script once the dispensaries are open! I hope it doesn't affect it either!! It took two years to finish everything. The law went into effect in 2016. I didn't realize Arkansas was a medical state! Good for you! I have several people that have Huntingtons disease that live in that state I'll pass on that info! For now I'm just using old fashioned way. But I will be using a Vape once the dispensaries are open. I also have Huntingtons disease (which is similar to Parkinsons), which is the reason I'm getting it.
One step forward, two back, this is just a continuation of the war on anything that might interfere with the profits of big corporations. That is how it started, and this is how it continues…………..
james caldroney
I would like to know how much the pharmaceutical companies are paying sessions!!!
I think it's ominous! First, you guys are very naive after 8 years of no problems under Obama! This guy is absolutely psycho BECAUSE he's invested in private for-prison industry and wants to profit off of putting bodies into them for corporate slave labor and whatever else. Don't stand down so naively, this guy is planning to terrorize innocent lives after he weaponized a law making everyone a felon over night! They don't want to clean their own house, they are the enemy of the American people and you guys need to WAKE THE HELL UP!
You guys are too lay back, we remember the years of what these kind of people do and they will murder, torture and do whatever else because it's all about money! You are far too lay back, this guy is of the devil and will smash as many souls into the dirt as he possibly can. He is IRRATIONAL in his accusations of cannibis and must be met with rational explanations of the health benefits of non-TBD cannabis oil especially.
Seriously, expect raids and fed SWAT TEAMS coming in and breaking heads! This guy is from the OLD GUARD and you guys are way way too casual from being a few decades into liberal approaches. They are for real and are planning on causing serious pain and grief, ruining lives so they can profit from it. BE ON YOUR GUARD!
Lesa Campbell Andrade
The pharmaceutical companies are losing money because the medical cannabis has taken the place of a lot of their narcotics. Therefore they're asking Sessions to fight against legalizing marijuana in any form it just is not in their best interest! They do not care about the will of the people only the lining of their pockets
What Americans need to do is start a revolution and take Your Government back from the Corporate Psychopaths that are now running the country and trying to destroy the world. ISIS are not the biggest terrorist group today, the US Government is.
william brandt
Would this be a move to force individual states into implementing laws regarding marijuana possession.sales ,grow houses etc. Rather than have the federal government trying to enforce the same restrictions ?
Actually the FinCEN guidance is very heavily leveraged on the reading of Cole as a basis for the document. So at the very least, the FinCEN guidance has had its proverbial legs cut out from under it. With that said, neither FinCEN nor Cole have any application (nor does the Senate version of Rohrabacher-Blumenauer's language) in the adult recreational use market, since both are predicated on medical use only.
The sky isn't falling any faster than it was last Thursday, but there are certainly some interesting things that could happen as unintended consequences for Sessions… we posted a blog article about it the other day.
WE ARE BEING IGNORED! Sessions has made it almost impossible for a national legalization policy to occur. First you must assume that a bill makes it to congress which has not occurred. Then you need a veto proof majority for the to be enacted since Trump would most likely veto the legislation. We also have a very bias media on the subject that includes liberal and conservative news sources. Both ignore the topic like the plague and when it is mentioned more than likely at lesser one news anchor will snicker or make some off colored joke. It is amazing how such a small group of people such as "the dreamers" (less than a million) can capture the full attention of all news media, yet legalization receives very little attention even when it has 64% support of the American people. My advice is GO VOTE AND ONLY VOTE FOR CANDIDATES THAT SUPPORT LEGALIZATION. Party affiliation does not matter.
