be creative. play the damn game like the republicans. simply put out an executive order saying ‘why would you arrest anyone for weed in this day and age’. no one with true power and will is bound by a piece of paper. the republicans aren’t; the democrats should consider doing the same with saner policies
The federal government is already doing this, and has been doing it since the first state legalized it. The FBI could theoretically raid any weed dealer at any time, but they’ve been directed to not exercise that power since Eric Holder first enacted the policy.
